Clear example of how Crean fails in recruiting.

[FKfootball 1,046]

As you guys know, a lot of ppl are still scratching their heads over the signings of Priller and April. 2 guys that cannot get on the court. One guy that I really wanted Crean to pursue that he was scouting was Rokas Gustys. He was a big, strong Lithuanian kid that played at Oak Hill Academy. Generally a school that develops kids. Granted that he plays at Hofstra and not in the Big Ten, but hes a 6"9 260 Lb bruiser that is averaging 8 rebounds a game and has had many double digit rebounding games. This kid could have got minutes here at IU. He reminds me of the type of kids that MSU generally has. But Creans love of the 3 pt shot attracted him to Priller. And his love for a 7 footer than can run the floor attracted him to April. I just dont understand how 7 years in the Big Ten has taught Crean that the Big Ten is a Physical league that needs Big Bodies that can bang. And they dont have to be Cody Zeller. I would kill just to have Matt Costello or Nnana Egwu on this team. Neither of those guys were top recruits.

How do you know he was passed over?

How do you know he was passed over?

Crean went and scouted him. He didn't get an offer but Priller did without Crean even seeing him.

Well that didn't take long.

Yes Crean failed in recruiting because of a 3 star and every 3 star that was undervalued....

[Alford Bailey 12,292]

Might as well forget about IU using a traditional center as long as Crean is here. It aint gonna happen.

I generally like to keep my Tom Crean hate to a minimum, but I can't disagree with what he is saying. It is extremely frustrating to have 2 wasted (so far, I know its early) big men on scholly on the bench.

LOL. Actually had a guy argue with me on another site who said Priller would win multiple games for IU this season. And he was serious.

[HoosierHoops1 5,024]

This guy played well against NC state, but all the other games are against cupcake city. Who knows what he could have done here to help.

Did we recruit Anya? Isn't he typical?

[Josh 12,407]

There's more to wanting a kid than just his play on the court.  C'mon man.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Tom Pritchard aka meat hook would be fantastic right about now on this team.

[FKfootball 1,046]

"I've been thinking about Tom Pritchard, all day."

[Alford Bailey 12,292]

Did he end up here and play that position? We took NV instead,put him on the perimeter to shoot threes and now we are counting on a freshman who was headed to prep school to be our inside presence. Besides,isnt Anya more of a power forward?

[FKfootball 1,046]

I really think Crean passed on Gustys because hes "bulky." Tom Pritchard was only here because Sampson signed him.

He'd probably be starting for Hofstra

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

I still hang on to the record setting double double machine that Pritchard was in his first five games lol.. I remember on the scout board we had a topic rolling about Pritchard ending up in the NBA. Ha

[Alford Bailey 12,292]

I do not want to go back to the Pritchard days. Talk about a foul waiting to happen. Ugh.
