Check yourself buddy. I've never once said that I wanted him gone yet. IU may be in tough spot right now...

[quote name="WayneHoosier" post="75684" timestamp="1406566665"]Sadly, that seems to be the trend. What gives?

Am I to think poor coaching is the cause for this????? There must be more to it. Oh well.[/quote]

Have a couple "ins" on this recruitment. I'm sure this will shock zero of you... But Crean can come off a little creepy to recruits.

Believe this is the case here. Not to say it can't change, but at this time while IU is on the list, it's primarily because it's IU and the state school.

Not trying to question your source here because I heard there was a problem in this recruitment, as well. I'm hearing about this all after the fact so it may not be as accurate as your info, but things have been cleared up with the family from what I know. Are you hearing different?

I hadn't heard that, but from the bits and pieces I've heard I just don't see it as a realistic option for him moving forward. I believe IU is still recruiting hard ,but Kyle doesn't really like Crean much. Last I heard he likes Purdue 100x better than IU.

Good grief. Purdue over IU. We really are in trouble!

Definitely not good to hear. I think him and Leaf have become pretty good friends.

I've noticed that as well. If he is creeping out recruits and that is true, he better let his assistants do his work and find out WHY he is creeping them out. That is a bad look!

Some high recruit, superstars still came to IU though. Makes me wonder.

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. — Just two and a half weeks ago, 2016 guard Kyle Guy and his Indiana Elite 2015 squad was in Redondo Beach, Calif., participating in the Battle at the Beach tournament.

There, he spoke of a few schools showing interest, but nothing had significantly changed in his recruitment.

Two weeks later, he was back in southern California. This time, on two days notice, he was participating in one of the most prestigious youth basketball camps in the country: adidas Nations. And plenty has changed in those two weeks.

“This is always a dream for me,” Guy told Inside the Hall on Saturday morning. “But I didn’t think it would be like this.”

When Indiana Elite arrived in Las Vegas from Redondo Beach for the adidas Super64, the final tournament of the adidas Gauntlet held from July 23-27, Guy and his teammates felt confident.

After all, they recorded a 12-4 record in their first three tournaments in the Gauntlet and felt they were being overlooked heading into the the tournament. As Guy, the No. 118 prospect in the 2016 class, said, “we had a chip on our shoulder.”

“Everyone talks about Dream Vision for one and Game Elite and all that, and they just overlooked us,” he said. “We knew we were going to go in and take care of business.”

And they did.

Indiana Elite won the adidas Super64 without losing a game, defeating Dream Vision in the final, as well. And Guy, who is playing a year up, led Indiana Elite to the title, shooting 16-for-31 beyond the arc (best 3-point shooting percentage) and 30-for-62 from the field in the tournament.

“The night after we won it, we went out to eat as a team and watched the game on ESPN, the replay,” Guy recalled. “And I had to leave like eight times to talk to eight different coaches.

“And five of them offered.”

Within that week following the adidas Super64, Guy was offered scholarships from Iowa, Iowa State, North Carolina State, Northwestern and Virginia.

And on Wednesday, July 30, he was invited to participate in adidas Nations, where he played alongside Rawle Alkins, Payton Pritchard and T.J. Leaf, among others, for Team Wall. It was his last event of the summer.

Guy said he will “probably” take visits soon to Virginia and Iowa, along with the schools within Indiana that are recruiting him — Indiana, Purdue and Butler.

But for now, Guy finally has the time to relax before starting his junior year at Lawrence Central.

And when he looked back from the adidas Nations gym in Garden Grove to the decision to join Indiana Elite earlier this summer back home in Indianapolis, he realizes he has come a long way.

“I’m glad I chose to play with them,” Guy said. “It was a good decision.”

Can someone define "creepy" in regards to Crean? I am not Crean's biggest in-game coaching fan but how is he creepy?

[Hutch89 2,939]

I think creepy was thrown around too much before.  I wouldn't think he would give off any weird "throw you in a windowless van" vibes...    

The guy just seems really passionate and probably not the most chill individual IMO.  It wouldn't surprise me if he was a "close-talker" lol

One of his recruiting pitches is "Indiana has LOTS of puppies and candy!! I love you!", per my sources.

So yeah...

FWIW

Crystal ball picks for Guy to Michigan from Purdue Insider Gardner and Jerry Meyer. Looks like Michigan leads early. Long ways to go.

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

It least it's not Illinois.

Just an interesting note here.. My buddy is a manager for the Ole Miss basketball team and I went down to visit for the Bama game yesterday while Guy was on a visit and sat right behind him. Part of me wanted to get in his ear about IU! Lol
