MikeRoberts Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 David Williams. He actually committed and we backed off shortly afterwards. Seems like he had a less than stellar career at UNC-GreensboroThis 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 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app HoosierHoops1 and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Max Hoetzel. The Grant Gelon recruitment was embarrassing in timing and management. Clearly April and Priller fit the descriptions as well.

schoosier Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Guy Marc Michelle took a scholarship and was never cleared. Recruiting was more a bust under Crean. Just look at the 2012 movement. Quote
TheWatShot Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 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.

WayneFleekHoosier Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 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. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners thebigweave and Tom White 2 Quote

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?!!"
