2015 #IUBB Offseason Thread

Prophetic.

 

A key line is this one:

 

"Problem is, Indiana’s hiring the Final Four guy. If they ever get a glimpse of the NIT guy, things could turn nasty."

We are at the nasty stage. Crean is a lame duck. Why make everyone suffer through another season?

We haven't even seen NIT Crean and it's already turning nasty.

Too bad Fuchs couldn't bring Darius Latham with him.

We just saw "Skip the CBI" Crean. Does it get worse than that? (Besides the dumpster fire that was out of his control early)

Ryan Burton is the only IU basketball player named Academic All Big Ten. Huh, wonder why we brought him in to sit the bench?

I could use some good news about IUBB, ASAP. Otherwise, I may need to get Butler season tickets.

Hova and SirHoosier, I was kidding but I am feeling pretty desperate about IUBB right now. Another season of Crean is painful to even think about.

Agreed. But man......Butler is just crossing the line. :)

I'm old and cranky and you're pushing the rope a little too hard.  I've got 2 daughters and a son-in-law who are Butler grads and without a doubt Butler is my second favorite team.  :D

Hey now, we have two new forwards to play our center spot!

I really hope DD doesn't get Creaned or decide to transfer. He was one of the only players on last years team that I really liked. He has a solid game and could be a solid 3-4 for the next few years. Plus, I'd like to see him return wearing th Cream and Crimson. I could see a big reception in the future.

Just don't see that happening.  I think Crean developed a real bond with DD in the aftermath of the accident and he has a place on the team almost guaranteed.  To me the question is the real severity of the accident and will Devin be able to get back to the point he is medically cleared to play and is able to play at the D-1 level.  Then you also have to consider what the NFL is going through with concussion effects and what happens if some idiot would undercut DD and he takes a bad fall or he gets an elbow shot to the temple.  I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer but Devin's future health is a lot more important than ever scoring another point or grabbing a rebound for IU.

chirp, chirp, chirp.  thats all the new news!  except stan....chirp, chirp!

Calm before the storm?

His GPA doesn't hurt, but Burton's are rather connected at IU. He'd be on the bench with a 2.0 GPA

You could do what ifs for many scenarios though. Playing basketball is far less dangerous than being in an automobile, playing basketball on a nerd hoop with Ahole friends, having ahole coworkers, being around large machinery, surfing, etc. (just a few of my concussions). There's a risk for every individual on the court. I'm sure he'll receive some of the best advice from medical doctors and DD and family will make the best decision for them. I think he'll be back.
