Dakich just said exactly what I said -- that Rabjohns' story was the story IU wanted to get out. If you guys don't understand this I can't help you. Again, it is exactly why Rabjohns was on an island saying IU never tried to hire Chris Holtmann when literally everyone else was saying they did. You have to be able to recognize the difference between journalism and public relations.

Again, show me where any of this has been reported, with actual quotes. Being a message board huckster and a journalist are two different things. Fife's comment about Indiana kids was the most harmless tongue in cheek joke ever. He included himself in the joke. It was obvious, unless you want to gin up message board drama. And you really believe Fife is calling up Rabjohns to confess his mistakes? On what planet does that make even an ounce of sense. Just stop with the sycophantic nonsense.

Nothing has been reported. Rumors have been spread on message boards with no quotes. That is not journalism. If you have something, have the courage to write a story. I mean, why the hell wouldn't you if you had such a story. People are such lemmings on message boards.

Exactly, it is bush league to trash a well liked former IU player on his way out. Just say nothing. But gotta flex those "insider" muscles, right? Or perhaps rather help IU establish the case that the firing was for cause to give them legal outs on the contract.

No, but it is all slanted. He is and always has been an IU PR arm. That's why he deleted his tweet. They told him to. That's why he tried to say IU never contacted Holtmann when all the reputable journalists were saying otherwise. He was covering for IU.

It is possible to be for these kinds of events but not want someone who reflects poorly on the program involved.

Go Hoosiers

I'm with you on all points. I was simply pointing out that these idiots have no business representing our beloved program, and anyone who sends them money is a complete imbecile.

IU has thousands of highly competent and professional Kelley business school alums who could properly run a "collective." The idea that people are going to blindly Venmo money to narcissists in LA so they can behave like this is beyond absurd.

I absolutely despise them. Notice how every video has their faces in it? Total narcissists. And you know what people like that do, they destroy everything they touch to prop themselves up. Can't believe people inside the IU program enable this crap. I am going to start e-mailing Dolson and others.

Garcia and his parents said the same things before they committed to nice, quiet Marquette. I just wish people would quit encouraging the crazies to do this and just let it happen organically. You have to be all kinds of weird to go stalk teenagers, and there are people out there encouraging that behavior by the creepy element of the fan base.

Yeah, the quotes coming out of this Clowney visit are more like "the fans are crazy" not "the fans are awesome". This seems like a pretty quiet laid-back kid. I wouldn't be surprised if these idiots scare off another recruit.

The kid reported it on his Instagram. That was enough. Media types reporting that a high school kid has an illness so they can be an "insider" crosses a line for me. Just kind of creepy.

What kind of weirdo reports on a high school kid being sick? Ridiculous.

It doesn't really say anything. Just generalities about the schools and quotes we've already read about IU.
