Doesn't make much sense to me.. Neither do the Stevens and Donovan rumors. But if folks want to get their hopes up, who am I to rain on the parade?
I'm just gonna sit back and let this play out. Mark me down as one of the guys who has just accepted that Crean is gonna be here in 2017-18. I hate it but I've found peace with it. Really hope I'm wrong on this one though.

Oh it's fine. I would hate an Alford hire more than having Crean back. He has done less than Crean in 21 years.

I agree that Alford could very well come here and then bomb or be mediocre. However, I could see him being very successful, too. The former is not a foregone conclusion. I would rather have BD or Marshall, but I would rather have Alford than Bennett, Archie, or Collins. I think Alford could attract some serious talent. Again, I'm not pro Alford, but in the event he does come here, I won't be distraught. I will be hopeful.

I'd take Bennett and Miller long before Alford.  I want Collins about as much as Alford, that is to say not much.

Give me Bennett every day of the week over Alford and it isn't even close. Dude gets his kids to over achieve, play fundamentally sound, and dude knows defense.

Steve please come home. Alford would be a great hire for IU. Would take the recruiting in state by storm and also now has connections all over the country. Most of all I want Crean gone.
