Hoosier82 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Yeah, despite all the insiders and unnamed sources talking up Billy Donovan to IU, I'm preparing myself to be disappointed. Although I felt the same way about if Glass would actually fire Crean...so there's that.There is just too much information that keeps coming up from all over the place. The common theme is Billy Donovan. At the very least, I would think there are some serious talks going on with him. Bennett's name had been floated early and now it seems to have faded away. No other coach is being mentioned besides Alford, and that is primarily due to the media. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app CR3AMnCR1MS0N and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
Hovadipo Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 1st paragraph of the 2nd result on Google lol. LOS ANGELES – The UCLA basketball program has received a signed National Letter of Intent from Kris Wilkes, a 6-foot-8 guard at North Central High School in Indianapolis, it was announced today by head coach Steve Alford. http://www.uclabruins.com/news/2016/11/13/mens-basketball-ucla-signs-kris-wilkes.aspx Quote
Brass Cannon Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 More success than Crean and Elite are light years apart. Alford is closer to Crean than Elite. FloridaHoosierGirl, RTJ85, IUsafety and 4 others 7 Quote

Sent from my SM-G935P using BtownBanners mobile app You would have to check with Mike Peterson first. He seems to be heavily involved in all the Indy Hoosier AAU players recruitments except for Neese's fwiw. Quote

Jeff_Boy_Ardee Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 There will be other recruiting classes, 2017 is not some earth shattering class. If we can land Donovan I don't care if we have zero recruits coming in (obviously that won't happen, announcing he is the coach will have quite a bit of recruiting appeal) plus our team still has talent on it it's not like when Crean inherited it. Donovan can take this team and have some success and then really hit the recruiting trail for next year. One recruiting class should have no input on securing a coach like Donovan. I can't believe that's even an issue being talked about. Class of '66 Old Fart, CR3AMnCR1MS0N, Hutch89 and 4 others 7 Quote
