Former Hoosiers Weigh In on IU's Issues

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

Here is a round up of former Players posting about what's going on at IU right now:

 

• Cody Zeller:  "As an IUBB player you're held to a higher standard. You can't be a normal college kid but you get the privilege of wearing the candy stripes"
• Jordan Hulls: "Playing at IU is a privilege! The culture was built on hard work, accountability & understanding what it means to wear INDIANA on the front!"
• Derek Elston: "And now this ... Just wish these guys understood what it ACTUALLY took to get the #iubb name back where it was supposed to be"
• Dan Dakich: he gets an entire thread.

 

These players get it.  They are clearly frustrated with everything that has transpired over the last couple months.  It has to be difficult to know everything they did and built has come crashing down SO quickly.

After we clean house, I would love to have Jordy back at IU on the staff. He would be a great example to the young players.

He isn't the only one out of the group.

Can't imagine a guy like Verdell who saw this program get resurrected go down again like this. Has to be frustrating.

Olivia, I think we'll have to wait a little longer to bring Cody back.

That is not an answer I want to hear Laz.

Love love love reading the former players defend our school. I can't believe how bad these guys have screwed up. Unreal!

Our former player's words are giving me goosebumps... they get it.

We need one of these alumni on the coaching staff to reign our team in and let them know what it means to be a Hoosier cause they don't get it

We should get someone like Calbert Cheaney as an assistant coach or something. ;)

Dakich was also getting messages from past players during his radio show today. Many of the players from back in his day were reacting to the news.

Maybe we are seeing why he left.

I always thought this type of party behavior was what caused Luke to leave.

Pretty much all of the former players who wrote their thoughts in this thread learned what wearing that uniform meant under the same guy.
