Crean Offers an 8th Grader a Scholarship

[MerrittsMustache]

Crean is a master of self-promotion and a lot of being a successful coach IS promoting yourself which, in turn, promotes your program.

When Buzz goes on PTI that's getting attention for himself and for MU. When Buzz is a guest on the CBS pregame show at the Final Four, that's getting attention for himself and for MU. Where is the outcry over that?

Say what you want about Crean, but he put together something really good at Marquette and seems to be putting together something really good at IU.

I think Buzz going on PTI is normal PR work for a coach. TC offering scholly to Gordon and telling people is fine with me as well. Do not think the two can be compared though because different route to get PR. I agree TC is rebuilding a brand at IU and hopefully he can take it further than he took our brand. My guess is he will run the course there as well, but not openly routing for that to happen.

I4 offers kids in 8th grade. The other blue bloods offer kids in the spring of their senior season in high school. One of these things is not like the other.

Don't you mean mouth breathing?

Was just wondering what took you so long.

I'm fine with offering 8th graders, anything earlier than that is skeezy.

Skeezy?  I thought the term around here was squirmy?

Nah. 'Squirmy' is one feeling uncomfortable. I don't feel comfortable about much, but hitting on a 7th grader is skeezy.

Smarmy, Chicos. Smarmy

None of this should be surprising at all, anywhere in the NCAA, be it men's or women's, and be it bball or another sport. I teach in a middle school and coach girls basketball there, and while most of these girls are working on dribbling and knowing where to stand on the floor, we had an extremely exceptional player come through a few years back (none of my doing of course... we're not exactly running the triangle) and she was getting contacted by Stanford.  She was great, but if she was getting contacted, then it is surely very commonplace.
