Another nice detail in there... The teams first practice for Montreal was today!

Nice to hear Crean speak openly and honestly about all of this. You hear so much "coach speak" from these guys it makes it that much better to hear a coach finally get real. 

Yes. If your gonna speak when the times are good, you better man up when they ain't. Think he's a bit tardy though.

Thanks for posting.  I really enjoyed that.  Let's hope the chemistry issues are fixed.  I'm not saying that was the whole problem last year, because it wasn't, but I think it had more of an effect that a lot of us realize.  This is a critical year coming up.  I hope things get pointed back in the right direction.  I am cautiously, and I emphasize cautiously, optimistic.

Great Interview!!!!
 
Crean clearly wanted GARY HARRIS.  Admitted having INDIANA players already committed that affected this decision.  I assume he is referring to Etherington, Davis, Hollowell.
 
Comments on Dunham were a good compliment to Dunham.  Kind of admitted he missed on him.
 
Kind of admitted misses with Patterson and Hollowell.
 
Noah Vonleh comments were about the same as normal except DD says NV was a pure jump shooter in AAU.  Crean puts him in post.  I think there lies the issue.  NV wanted to play more freely and on the perimeter as he has done in the past.  Crean sat him in the paint.  (Not saying that's a negative necessarily)
 
The chemistry comments were interesting in general. 
 
Who is this Official visit????  Still recruiting???? Is anyone really left???
 
I'll be shocked if Hartman graduates from IU.

Crean wanted Harris bad enough to commit a recruiting violation in the process. Also, shout out to my PHHS home boy Dunham. Kids like him are the ones you need to take risks on if you're not so sure they can contibute. Way before these project centers imo.
