Anunoby and Morgan

From what I have read I really like their work ethic inside and outside the classroom and on and off the court----good students---good character----and good ballplayers-----like that combination.

 

Did Crean comment on that at all?

@JeffRabjohns: At 6-7, OG Anonuby fits the pro style offense in that he can score inside & outside, IU assistant Tim Buckley said. #iubb

Nevermind---you are now touching on that.......post on!

yeah, said they are good students.

I see what amounts to the twitter verse version of "help is on the way". derp

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

They are good pieces---I still believe we can have a good year as a team this year---but next year could be special if our guards and bigs continue to develop and we get DD back.

Nothing wrong with that---we need all the HELP we can get!!!! :)

Not knocking these guys, but we have heard this before. Almost down to the same wording. "Coach-able, willing to work, ahead of the curve." I mean, I understand these are your go to talking points when talking about an incoming recruit but I was told Hollowell could be an NBA player. I was told Hanner had as much upside as any recruit coming in. I'm glad these guys are signed and they have every right to prove themselves on the court, but I've heard it before and it's getting old

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Thanks---WayneFleek.

 

Is this presser going on now?
 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I especially like what I am hearing about rebounding and I remember reading Juwan likes to play inside.

 

We could use some rebounding ninjas!  :ninja:

I fully agree. It's easy to brag about upside and then blame the player when it doesn't happen. I'm tired of his schtick as well.

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,530]

Thanks---WayneFleek.

Is this presser going on now?

yep, I think it's done now.

And what else is Crean going to say? "Man, I really need a big guy, I can't believe I didn't recruit a post-player, rebounder, or defensive-minded kid. I am so boned next year."

You tell the troubled masses that you got exactly what you need and just give me two more years and you'll see the difference even if I did screw-up recruiting Zimmerman and Bryant.

Doesn't make it any less tiring. This coach has had one good and honest presser in his tenure and it wasn't even about basketball. It was about our players getting off drugs and jumping in front of cars. I get that he has to say these things, but it's just the same old song and dance. 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Ummm----these are good recruits---are we not allowed to be happy about them coming here?

 

Yeah---We know---- everything is Crean's fault---so got it.

 

Stubbed my toe----Crean's fault---he should have recruited a better team so I didn't have to get so mad at the TV!

 

It's raining---Crean's fault----if only Zeller and Vonleigh had stayed and that 7 footer whose name shall not be mentioned had not transferred--we would have had 3 big guys on the team this year with their heads so high in the clouds so as to stop the rain for months.

 

Call the mob---get out the pitchforks---everything is Crean's fault! 

 

Can't wait till we all get back to analyzing and discussing and ---stop whining!

I am happy about Morgan especially and Anunoby too but the points being made are valid.

Crean is a good talker. He knows what the fanbase wants to hear. It's now a matter of results, and they haven't been pretty.

Thus the skeptics.

This shouldn't take anything away from our young recruits.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Fair enough.

 

If Juwan and OG are reading the posts----which I would be if I had committed to one of the best basketball schools ever--I hope they are interpreting it the same way.

 

I was so glad these 2 stay committed with all the crud we were going through when they signed their letters---I like what they bring to the program and look forward to seeing them play!

Crean has said these things and more about the players who just dropped a home game to Eastern Washington.

[coonhounds 8,728]

Yes we have heard it before and will hear it again as long as crean is here. I just hope this all works out for these kids who r braving the odds to come to a great program in potentially a trying time.
