Big A and ITHers, Anyojne know what is happening with Robert Goff a 6 foot 9 prospect from Indianapolis who Sampson (curse his name) offered a scholarship to and as far as I can tell has yet to commit. I heard he had the usual Sampson (curse his name) affliction, academic problems. Anyone?

Looks like he wanted to go to Xavier all along.

I'd rather have a lousy season next year and work on rebuilding for the future. I'd rather rebuild for the future than a quick fix. Indiana Hoosiers are one of the top programs in the country with a history of championships beginning in 1940. I want the Hoosiers to still be battling for championships in 2040 and beyond. .

I saw that but the “homesick” thing makes no sense given PU is about 45minutes from Valpo???? Not sure what is up with that other than maybe he wants to be a bigger fish in another pond. Sucks for PU, he is a good player and solid kid. He hurt us more than Hummel did this season.

I agree, I don't think next year should be written off – we have a great coach and he will build the program with the right assistants and the right kind of players. Personally, if accomplishing that means we have to go 9-5 or 10-4 pre-conference next year, and 7-9 in the conference, so be it. If that happens, I know that years 2-20 of the Crean era will bring great success. This guy is going to do great things in Indiana from a recruiting standpoint – he will make IU the school players dream of playing for when they grow up.

I'm all for being optimistic, but an NCAA birth is just so unlikely for this team. Who is going to be the low post presence? I like Pritchard but as a freshman he can't be expected to carry the load, we don't know what we will get out of Holman since he is so raw, and we know DeAndre is horrible and Taber can't score. Crawford has to show the ability to consistently perform, and I don't even know how good of defense this team will be able to play. The Big Ten will be pretty decent next year with Purdue not losing anybody, OSU being better and also not losing anybody, MSU being their usual selves, and the rest of the pack only improving because no team besides us and Wisconsin really lost any players. The schedule will be rough, if you've looked at the Maui schedule you will know it as UNC, Texas, ND, and Oregon. I like the optimism, but it is really misplaced. We are going to need to be patient with this team and I am actually kind of looking forward to seeing them improve as the year goes on and possibly getting a NIT berth
