Hoosier Transfers and Recruiting Targets

[schoosier 3,488]

To be fair, it really wasn't Samsung's phone calls that destroyed the program.  It was the behind the scenes horror show of failed classes and failed drug tests that caused the need for the house cleaning.

I sure don remember any NCAA penalties from failed drug tests, and to be completely honest; we have had more from our current oaching staff. Bassett and the kid who transferred to Xavier and went pro were the only two I could remember. Did the NCAA punish us for low apr or take away schollies? I sure can't recall losing any schollies or post season play. I'm just considering NCAA issues as it related to Sampson.

We were left with the likes of Kyle Tabor because of the off court crime scene at the time.  Take away the mess that caused us to completely clean house and give us a team that still has Bassett and Crawford and co.; we would've dug out faster and wouldn't have had to endure a 6 win season.

 

The NCAA penalties were bad, but the behind the scenes disaster was just as bad.  The latter is why we had to clean house and left Crean with a bare cupboard.

I get sick just thinking about those days.

 

 

That was not IU culture and character-------that was a disaster----and we lost out on some great recruits because of what was going on behind the scenes.

I believe Crawford, Bassett, Jamarcus Ellis all had to miss because of their actions on the Chicago trip. Not sure if Holman or McGee were involved, because it would have been hard to tell what the reason they didn't play was, but I'm confident it was their style...

@WernerESPNCU: Marcus LoVett made it to #Illini game http://t.co/N9cLRsqQUk

[HoosierHoops1 5,024]

Leron Black had a couple decent plays, but his team lost.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I know Illinois is recruiting him ( Lovett)----is Indiana?

 

Don't know that we have the room---but he might be more interested after today!

 

Can he play center?  (joking)

[HoosierHoops1 5,024]

He was on our Radar a couple of seasons ago, but you don't hear much about him any more.

[IUsafety 2,775]

ITH has him (LoVett Jr.) listed with Bryant and Swanigan in the 2015 recruiting board. I don't know how often they update their recruiting page though.

Theo Pinson of UNC had 4 points and 5 rebounds for the Heels today.

 

He probably would be starting center for us this year!

 

Only half-joking!

Theo Pinson is out with a fractured foot.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,454]

@jeffborzello: North Carolina freshman Theo Pinson is out indefinitely with a fracture in his left foot, the school announced.

@phishphan682: @jeffborzello so that is why Crean took Priller over Pinson! He is a genius recruiter! #iubb

Lol

Damn, sucks for the kid. Cheers to a speedy recovery!

[Alford Bailey 12,390]

Pinson is averaging 3.3 pts/gm and could have been the man here.

He is getting lots of playing time to the be the man at UNC. I think he is a super raw player. Has the athleticism, but not a lot else
