Could Mo Creek's Success at GW impact Current Hoosiers?

[IU Hoosier41 14,490]

With the transfer rumors running rampant, I got to thinking about what has changed in the program. Overall, there hasn't really been much to point at, but I did have a thought on Mo Creek.

We all know his story and injury struggles at IU. He finally got some minutes last year, but they were few and far between. This is similar to many current Hoosiers on our team that have the rumors flying. No goes off to a smaller school and is now loving life. He's dominating on the court and appears to be loving every second of it.

When these kids committed Im sure many if them were excited to commit to a Big school and get the national media attention for committing to Indiana. Now that they are there (and not playing) do you think No's success could help their thought process on leaving?

I'm not saying it's definite, but I honestly think that Mo's success is impacting some of the speculation on players who turned down smaller schools to come here. (Butler, Butler, Butler). This isn't why Luke left, but could it impact other players?

DISCUSS.

Great discussion topic! I think some kids thrive on the big campus feel, while others may like the "big fish in a small pond". I know Damon Bailey was never comfortable with the attention (he enjoyed some of the perks though, lol). Seeing the plethora of sports channels, the mid-majors get some pretty good mainstream exposure. Some kids are able to gut it out while being miserable, some leave.

Not sure Remy's was lack of playing time.  He bought into the party scene a little too much...

I know for a fact that is not what happened with Remy.

It was my understanding that Remy had been seen passed out after a party, it wasn't a first time occurrence with him. Met with Crean and both decided it was in his best interest for Remy to go his own way.

He didn't do anything that most of us did in college (or other points in our life), but unfortunately was under a microscope and wasn't casual about his choices, lol.  When I was at IU, Damon Bailey's friends asked us if we would pay $5 to watch him throw up during Little 500 :)  That was the year of the riots/tear gas/overturned Cadillac at Varsity Villas.  I hope Remy does well!

I understand the logic of we all did it. I just don't accept it in those circumstances. You and I might have gotten wasted and passed out in college, but neither of us were on full ride scholarships and playing basketball for a big time college.

You sign up for that when committing to IU. It's not like he got wasted once and was booted from the team. You get warnings and know the standards. Kind of reminds me of Kellen Lewis although not NEAR that level.

What was the story with Lewis? I remember I loved watching him play, but completely missed his story.
