Oh look, Indiana 4th best recruiting base. Number 1 and 2? Rutgers and Maryland.

No one panic, but East Coast recruiting seems to be consider better!

DMV plus New York. Bigger range. That’s why it is important to build a national brand on top of attracting the best local talent.

I’d like to know if Crean would still be coaching if we landed Gary Harris, Trey Lyles, Jaren Jackson, Kris Wilkes, Blueitt, Irvin etc.

Crean also was not routinely landing the best guys from the DMV, and frankly was having to resort to project players.

We also lacked in at least one area most seasons.  No bigs one season and zero shooting the next.  If he would have landed some of those players it would have fixed our problems but I don't think it would have completely masked our ability to adjust mid game.

I'm excited about this years team because we have, what seems like, a good mixture of players.  A BIG low post player, more athletic bigs and wings, shooters (big and small), dynamic guards, players willing and able to defend, etc.  The one thing I'll be curious to see is who gets the ball late, JMo on the block or Romeo up top.

One reason why I think last years class was so important. Got players of pretty much every type allowing us to go after studs and even if we miss we can plug a 4 star sophomore in.

The next best firing to help our program. Maybe TV Teddy can reunite this season with our first best reason.

That ******* had no business being a referee with all of the crap he pulled. I remember that game and Valentine was way out of line.

HIghtower was always classy and in control.  He was very impartial and fair regardless of the venue.

One of the greats!

Valentine on the other hand....

Yea, I kinda always breathed a sigh of relief whenever I saw Ed was doing a game. He is/was one of the best.

Former IU assistant coach Steve McClain violated the Illinois State Ethics law 2-years ago but very fuzzy if it was accidental or intentional.

Illinois has an ethics board?!? That's rich.
