Insightful read. I have stumbled and twittered this for my friends. Others no doubt will like it like I did.

Hardy as long as the players can shoot better 3's and layups than you, I know will be alright.

appearently you didn't catch any of Dominic “Bracey” James' games this year?

didn't offend me at all…as a guy who works with kids everyday, I think it's that kind of “no big deal” attitude that leads to stupid
$h!t like suspensions….

so if you're given a full ride to a stellar academic institution like Indiana and you “smoke” it away to get a lil high…how is that NOT a big deal? If EJ “smokes” his way out of the NBA draft…is that not a big deal?

If you're future is already laid out for you…(i.e. you're parents are filthy rich, you've already won the lottery, etc) then sure, getting high isn't a big deal. When you're future is still in doubt like these three kids who have been named, then it SHOULD be a big deal.

I'm not upset with you at all…please dont' take it that way…I'm just frustrated with trying to teach today's youth that the FUTURE does matter and we have adults in this world that contradict that everyday. Just frustrating….no offense taken.

Let's just see some COACHING and offensive movement without the ball. Anybody know what kind of offense and defense he runs, give me specifics. Hopefully he eliminates the chuck 30 footer from the IU playbook, that Bracy Wright gave to MIke Davis and Davis left in his office for Sampson. Crean throw that play out

Posted in reply section first my bad

My guess…however much “chump change” Mark Cuban had laying around in his couch!

Id like to know who everyone has as their starting five for next year. Here's my ideal lineup
1-Holloway (if he comes)
2- Armon (hopefully Roth can be an instant scorer and rotate into the lineup, Crean's Marquette teams were always good shooting teams)
3- Ebanks
4- Taber
5- Deandre (Eli?)

wade played 4 years at Marquette. he was a senior when he left…if my memory serves me correctly…

OK Crean was making 1.7 mil at Marquette. Let's guess how much it took to get him away!

I'll start. 8 years, 2.3 mil per.

Holloway and Bassett stay. Ebanks goes to Memphis.

Agreed Memphis is on their way to their own violations. Calipari seems a little too slick for me

I would say holloway is 85% back to IU……Ebanks….I don't know this will be a test. I think armon will be back in an IU uniform and armon, crawford, holloway, and roth seems like a pretty good rotating back courts. The oldest will be a Junior….I wouldn't say that needs rebuilt.

Does anyone know if we will have a scholorship or two left for the spring?

Ellis, Ebanks, Mcghee would be a great small forward line up
Thomas, Taber Not too bad at power forwards
Holman, Pritchard at centers……not bad either

I say you get another Juco big man at about 6/10 and what is there too rebuild………….keep our guys keep our recruits….actually control the program and coach the players and we are in the big ten hunt

Its cool i just hope ebanks and holloway decide to come back and would love to get armon back on the team. JE can do what he wants we dont need him
