He's only realistic if he WANTS to come back to college. The other guys are already in college and therefore can make a decision on which school is best. Donovan is in a completely different category than the rest. Indiana won't lure him back to college basketball. He has to want to go back, then Indiana could be a good fit. HUGE difference.

There's been speculation that Donovan would like to come back to college. If that truly is the case, it's game on

For those saying Alford is a big step up from Crean... Indiana fans don't agree on BIG step.

Alford is not on my list, but if the hire happens, which I doubt, I would back him 100% until proven otherwise.

Like I said earlier this week. Way too many enablers in our fanbase and it's why we've been stuck where we are for so long.

Enabling would be hiring someone with Alford's resume.

Regardless of who my personal preference might be, I'm prepared to support the leader of the program next year, whether it's CTC or someone else. The only exception is Alford. His credentials are secondary. His handling of the Pierre Pierce situation ends it for me. He is less fit then Sampson to lead this program.

Has there been some news on Alford over the last 24 hrs that I missed?

Just goes to show that the boards are in a "super-fan bubble."

[Hovadipo 55,098]

Yes. A school in Illinois that takes its Basketball as serious as any Indiana school.

They sure do. A lot of downstate schools in Peoria this year. Nice to see that for a change. All-downstate 1A title game and one downstate school in the 2A title.

Regarding Alford, I'm 44 and watched him torch Syracuse in the 87 championship, so I'm from the generation that some of you said would love to have him as our coach.  That couldn't be further from the truth.  Loved him as an IU player.  Will be sorely disappointed if he becomes the coach.  Current high school stars were more than a decade from being born when he played for IU.  They aren't going to come here simply because he hung a banner at IU.  To me this would be a lateral move from Crean.  I don't want either of them on the sideline of AH next year.

My biggest worry about hiring Alford..

Say we end up where we are now a few years down the road.

We think it's hard to fire Crean. How do you fire a guy like Alford?

I know we got rid of Bobby but circumstances were different.

I think some Wisconsin fans must have voted in that poll.

I thought this the other day.

Yikes.

Could also be the reason that (other than the Janitor, for whatever he's worth) the interest has only been rumored to be a one-way street.

That's the sad part. If this is the true feelings of the majority of the fanbase, we'll never be elite again.

This isn't going to go the way we want it to, is it?
