Jake Weingarten -

Georgia is the newest program to get involved with five-star junior Aminu Mohammed, i’m told.  Tom Crean reached out yesterday and will begin recruiting him.

Sales pitch :

“Aminu Wade” or

”Aminu Oladipo”

NOT Aminu Gelon!   (shhhhhh - Lol)

Probably took Crean 2 minutes to name drop Wade and Oladipo.  Next phone call, "I've been thinking about you a lot lately".

Unless he’s going to reclass I’d already be asking him “Is Tom even going to be there?”

If Georgia fires Tom Crean after next season, they are just dumb.

A strange thing to say since we know he can’t coach. He’s going to need a miracle to win half his games next year.  

[Stuhoo]

The Tom Crean era so far?

SEC records:

year one 2-16 (11-21 overall) defensive efficiency #197

year two 5-13 (16-16 overall) defensive efficiency #238 lol 

year three? Lost their two best players. Destined to be truly awful.

Similar trend to his bad first three at IU, but likely without a Cody Zeller, VO, or Yogi Ferrell riding to the rescue. He’s gonna really need that before his seat gets hot.

Bleccch.

It’s Georgia. You know what they have accomplished ever? Practically nothing. It’s like Indiana football.

They are paying him 3.2 million. They don’t care what they have done in the past they want results.

And it’s going to take a lot of time to turn nothing into anything better than nothing. Their goal should be the NIT.

It does not take alot of time in modern college basketball.

Unless you are IU and it takes the team 3 years to learn a defense and to limp into the tourney.

Let’s not throw rocks in a glass house. He essentially accomplished the same in year two that Archie did in year one here and Archie inherited a lot more

Archies first three years at IU:

16-16 (9-9 in B1G) #140 in defensive efficiency*

19-16 (8-12 in B1G) #50 in defensive efficiency

20-12 (9-11 in B1G) #94 in defensive efficiency

*team inherited by Archie that was "a lot more" than what Crean had. This team's seniors included Freddie McSwain, Josh Newkirk, and Tim Priller. This team also had a better conference record than the year before.

It may be just me, but I would really rather this not turn into an Archie vs Tom thread, or Tom sucks thread or something other than Aminu thread.

I agree, back to Aminu! (but CAM>CTC, for what it's worth). :)

Archie is better than Crean.

That being said, your initial roster cherry picking is almost funny as you do not mention seniors Robert Johnson and Hartman (not to mention non-senior Morgan, Davis, Smith, Al). Did Archie inherit a “contender”, no....but he clearly inherited more than Crean did at Georgia.

Miller is better than Crean, but that's not a difficult bar to clear though.

It took 3 years at Indiana for Crean. I though coaches needed time? I thought 2 years wasn’t long enough? Or does that only apply to Archie?

You have to be real with yourself. When Crean has a roster that fit, we were good. His problem was consistency. But those 11-12, 12-13, 15-16 teams were 3 of the top 4-5 seasons we’ve had over the last 25 years.

It takes as long as it takes regardless of coach. For some it takes multiple years and for others it doesn’t take any time at all and for others they never turn it around. Each fans tolerance of how much time a coach is giving is going to be different so answering your question would be impossible
