Like to think that once 1 player, i.e, Davis has signaled his intention to stay, others might do so as well so we start getting a better sense of what kind of nucleus our next coach (BD) will have to work with.

bleedhoosier Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Beyond shocked if reports are true. Always believed if we had coaching change Davis was a certainty to go considering how close he was to Crean. Hopefully more players feel the same way and stay with the exception of BlackmonRight, and that was probably previously true but with one season under Davis' belt may have showed him Crean isn't going to use him properly. Meaning, Davis realized his main job is just to set screens and go rebound instead of being showcased down low. I think Crean has done a complete disservice to every big he's had. What's wild is that he never utilized Vonleh, who was an absolute stud, for showcasing his guard skills...which he had. Yet all we see this season is Bryant not being down low and out shooting 3s, with lower level guard skills, haha Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app bnkepner, ALASKA HOOSIER, Tom White and 2 others 5 Quote

Instead of having your players play to their strengths, you get big men handling the ball in situations they shouldn't and guards being mismatched and giving up easy buckets. In my opinion, Davis was leaving if Crean was back. I believe he had enough in one season to know he wouldn't be able to show his true potential under Crean. I heard rumblings to that affect as well.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app bleedhoosier 1 Quote

hoosierpap Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 2 hours ago, ccgeneral said: https://indiana.rivals.com/news/report-de-ron-davis-remains-committed-to-iu IU Athletics Director Fred Glass in his press conference last Thursday said he hoped current players would give the program's new head coach a chance. So far, at least one player appears to be on board. Despite the dismissal of head coach Tom Crean, freshman forward De'Ron Davis remains committed to the Hoosiers according a report from Denver 9News sports report Aaron Matas, who cited Davis' high school coach. Davis arrived on campus in late August last year after tending to summer academic obligations in his hometown of Aurora, Colorado. Missing summer workouts put him behind from a strength and conditioning standpoint, but he was gradually able to earn more time on the court - with all four starts coming in Big Ten play - as his conditioning improve. The 6-foot-10, 240-pound forward averaged 5.9 points and 3.1 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per game this season, playing in all 34 of the Hoosiers' games while starting four of them. This story will be updated. Yeah, that's major. Class of '66 Old Fart, bleedhoosier and ElectricBoogaloo 3 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Not necessarily. He could just love IU and is committed to being here regardless of who coaches. I can tell you I love my boss but love my job just as much. I would be committed to my job regardless of who my boss was. Could be something like that. He may know something about coaching search but it could just as easily be he loves IU regardless of who coaches him. ALASKA HOOSIER and Tom White 2 Quote

CR3AMnCR1MS0N Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Hmm, I think Newkirk could make a better 2 or 6th man. He's a scoring combo guard. Has to take better care of the ball. ALASKA HOOSIER, incrediboy and sirhoosierlot 3 Quote
