This article is worthy of its own thread, I'd say. If not someone can merge it into one of the others.

Indiana 545k/716k/114k
Purdue 406k/197k/128k

Recruiting expenses. First column football, 2nd men's BB, third is WBB.

716,000 for Morgan and OG, and the 60th rated recruiting class

So much for the 3.16 million

Tom Crean, men's basketball---$3,702,559 to be on the bubble

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,769]

Of note:

IU has expanded its recruiting on the East Coast, which explains part of the expense. An IU spokesman said another factor is that the university no longer owns its own airplanes. While the athletic department paid for use of the planes, it wasn't as expensive as using an outside company for charter planes, the spokesman said.

All that money in recruiting and we end up with guys like Priller and April? Someone tell Crean in the future he really doesn't even need to leave the state to recruit. That's if he has a future.

My uncle used to be the team pilot in the davis days

So Painter has manhandled us three straight times with 1/3 our recruiting budget? Whose the better coach?

It just keeps making it harder.

You kind of have to leave the state when you piss off so many of the coaches here by oversigning and being a phony douchebag.

Is it really that bad between him and the local coaches? If so we're in real trouble.

I know there are rumors of a few players telling them they were not even interested before he really even got started recruiting them.

[Uwe Robb 1,072]

Another reason to focus on In-State kids.

I think he just rubs some people the wrong way. One thing he does do after games he is recruiting at, he makes sure and tells the kid what they could still improve upon. So players really like that, and some players seem to want everyone to bow down and kiss their feet. I personally know that there are kids that really love coach Crean and then I have read stories of other recruits who can stand him. Same could be said about a lot of coaches that have been here at IU. Hopefully the situation between our coach and Indiana high school players/coaches will never be as bad as it was when Davis was here

Will give Crean credit for recognizing Dominic James as a talent when Davis didnt think he could play at IU.

Not only did Davis say James wasn't IU material, he didn't think he was D1 material. I saw Dominic James player several times when I was in high school and he was a great talent then and even better in college

I know recruiting is national now and we cant have a roster full of Indiana kids but every trip to the east coast is probably $5000 easy round trip or more with a private jet. Gotta do better than a few plus 100 recruits.

 

Edit: Maybe just send out a bunch more text messages?? :biggrin:
