Crean had the kahunas to say he made a mistake not offering Acker out of high school. Most may have actually believed him. You don't have to be a coach to know Maurice was out of his league. I'm with Hay on this one. Mo was never a Big East talent and his scholarship to MU was another in a long line of reaches.

Sucks to see him go. He's a good student-athlete (I am basing that on him graduating early) who seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

Hope all goes smoothly with classes through December and your future remains bright.

He is not graduating early. He had a red shirt year, so he is graduating in 4 1/2 years.

Now, who was the third party that asked the mods to take down the post and cover up the truth?

too bad you were censored Ari

Ari wasn't censored, stop babbling. He called it about 3 months ago. Way before anyone posted anything libelous on the forums that needed to be removed.

Not only that, but a transfer as well, who had no chance of ever being an effective starter at MU in the Big East.

I couldn't agree more. I cited Blackledge, Berkowitz and (sorry to say because I admired his effort) Acker as evidence of Crean's absolutely lazy recruiting about two years ago and was chastised as a hater. "Crean is a tireless worker" everybody told me. What a crock of tanning solution!

why do you consider this a dumb comment?

PuertoRicanNightmare · « **Reply #31 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:45:15 PM »

That he's a tireless worker?

1. He accepted a physically overmatched transfer simply because he was a friend of one of our players.
2. He offered Blackledge simply because he was a teammate of the guy who turned us down (Stemler).
3. He offered Berkowitz -- sight unseen.

That's just laziness. It's not "tireless," it's not "high energy" it's freaking lazy...especially when you consider our BB budget was near the top of all of NCAA D1.

Instead of going out and watching players, he spent money on breathing chambers, ATVs and cheesy rented limos...stunts!

Its not libelous if it's true.

Good to to Maurice. Finish up, graduate and get in the corporate world. B-ball got you a free college education, now don't waste it.

gotta agree with some of the other posters...for Crean to on numerous occasions state that he should have offered him out of HS shows how much of an idiot he truly was. I love the heart of the kid but he was not a legitimate BE backup. And for Crean to say that only mkaes sense when you realize he signed guys like Christian, Berkowitz, HAzel, Lott, Blackledge and the beat goes on.

Then he goes to IU for similar money under the opinion that he can sign better talent. then his top recruit from last year transfers. Now two of his top recruits from this year might not get into school and so far for next year all the supposed 5 star verbals have not done so and he is so far only holding onto a 1 star recruit who happens to not even be the best player in Jacksonville Fla...that would go to Aaron Bowen.

the train wreck will be fun to watch...i wonder if he can play piano?

When it comes to Crean I am looking forward to an epic level of how you say....Schadenfreude?

What a glorious train wreck

I'm not familar with Crean's "issues" you cite here. Where can I find more about it?

Tom Crean will be a Hall of Famer when it's all said and done. He's that good of a coach/promoter/recruiter. Stop hating on him some of you jilted lovers.

Yep, he and that dude from Utah State, guaranteed legends and HOF'ers, if only in their own minds. LOL.

Except that guy at Utah State is already in several Halls of Fame for basketball. I guess it comes down just which one you're referencing because he's already been inducted in some.

Saw him at the ceremony....pretty cool wedding. TC was fashionably late and lot of former MU hoopsters were in attendance, including "The Brown Deer Bomber". Can't wait for the reception tonight!!

Crean was invited to Grimm's wedding? I was told here for sure that Grimm hated him. Perhaps this will benefit Crean's career by attending.

Crean was only using it at a networking opportunity.

Chris Grimm and his friends are very influential people.

Also, I have to question Chris Grimm's judgment for even inviting him. Crean's such a phony that nobody should EVER want to be his friend.
