San Diego St is the best job in CA? Over UCLA or even the other Pac-12 schools in the state?

Yeah, it's clearly UCLA...... But......lmao.

Lmao at Illinois. A team that just recently discovered basketball is picked over you.

David Williams. He actually committed and we backed off shortly afterwards. Seems like he had a less than stellar career at UNC-Greensboro

This actually came close to happening a few times. McCleod vouched for Williams and williams committed without Crean ever evaluating him in person and then the kid that transferred to San Diego st got an offer and committed after Crean recruiting him for a week and Crean only attending 1 practice

Oh yeah. That's right. The kid with the "flame thrower".

Max Hoetzel.

The Grant Gelon recruitment was embarrassing in timing and management.

Clearly April and Priller fit the descriptions as well.

His name is Max Hoetzel and that's all you need to know.

or Bawa Muniru

 

No that we type it out, sure seems like a definite pattern

Guy Marc Michelle took a scholarship and was never cleared. Recruiting was more a bust under Crean. Just look at the 2012 movement.

[TheWatShot 14,931]

Some of these names...good lord. How did Crean even find those kids? I mean, we always wondered where he came up with some of the teams to fill out our nonconference schedule, but any coach with an internet connection and the attention span of a 10 year old can go online and seek out teams that have been terrible the last few years running. It's almost like that's what he did in recruiting...but in recruiting you want what's at the other end of the spectrum. Maybe he just had it backwards. Or maybe he thought it was schedule bad teams and recruit bad players so it's less noticeable how bad they are. Or maybe...whoops, just spilled Diet Coke all over my flash cards.

Words can't explain how happy I am that all these comments about Crean are in the past tense instead of the present. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 49,850]

Crean's recruiting drove me insane as a fan of recruiting. Some of the things he did seemed so out of the ordinary.

It was more maddening that he would land a Zeller, Vonleh, Blackmon and the occasional diamonds like OG, Will, and Vic.

It gave you hope but then the overall results were always a couple players short. His misses and offers extended were extraordinary.

His recruiting seemed to be dipping even more the past few years.

As we are seeing with the 2018 kids, he didn't appear to be in good standing with many of those either.

About a year or two ago, I said that someday, we'd have a perfectly normal coach doing perfectly  normal things, but after X years of Crean, we'd think he was a savant and we'd eat it up. Well, after all these years of Crean offering a few dozen more scholarships than he had to kids not on anyone else's radar, we witness Archie bring a kid in for workouts, but send him away because he's not good enough for this level. Business as usual at a traditionally successful program, right? Yet we be like "OMG! WE DIDN'T OFFER A PLAYER WHO VISITED!! WHAT IS THIS?!!"

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Lol, love Archie not offering.. like we said "he's all business"

These days, a decade after hitting 40, I wouldn't mind a body like Priller...

I wasn't that ripped but I was pretty ripped at 18. God I miss that.
