TOM CREAN ANGRY!!!!!!!

[HoopsMalone]

I give him another 3 years before he's canned. They have marginal talent and he just doesn't have the charisma to recruit big time players. And the people in Indiana know way too much about basketball to put up with a salesman coaching their team.
.

The IU fans might get a little impatient, but I think the fact that the team plays hard and he runs a clean program gets him through this year.  


Crean actually still has a chance this year to get Josh Selby.  This would be a HUGE get for him and would really create some hope during what looks like a battle with Iowa for the bottom of the Big Ten again.  His first 5-star.

The 2011 recruiting class will be what makes or breaks Crean.
He has some players already:

###The fans will lose patience if he cannot keep the number 2 recruit in the country in-state.

He already lost a 5-star center from Indianpolis to Louisville

He also lost a 4 star guard from BLOOMINGTON! to Xavier

Not getting this kid Teague will be the beginning of the end of IU fans' adoration of Crean as a recruiter.

I love the thread on peegs calling to disband the basketball program

According to the link, IU never made an offer.

Kind of like how MU wasn't recruiting Maymon until Buzz was hired as head coach.

S-M-R-T.

Keeping a kid who is from Indiana is really important to all the Hoosiers.  Maybe they were not recruiting the 4-star guard from Bloomington ( I don't know if they even offered DJ either), but that will probably anger some people down there.  Who knows though.

Neither was Wisconsin-Madison, in his own backyard.  Why?

Bo cooled on him.

Not perfect for the swing.

Didn't get a 1600 SAT like the rest of UW's athletes.

Didn't promise him a starting job like Buzz did.   THAT's the reason JMay is starting right now.     Oh.   Wait...........
