It makes Loyola of Chicago look like Pepperdine. What a dive! Ray McCallum orchestrated the entire Holman exit which is one of the few things IU fans can thank him for doing. Ghetto punk heads back to another ghetto. Ah, kismet. Have any of you seen the “campus” of University of Detroit? It makes Loyola of Chicago look like Pepperdine. What a dive!

Move out of the ghetto in California and right back into the ghetto in Detroit. Good luck in all you do Eli but, this is dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. Someone is putting some stupid stuff in this kid's ear! Wow! Move out of the ghetto in California and right back into the ghetto in Detroit. Good luck in all you do Eli but, this is dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. Someone is putting some stupid stuff in this kid's ear!

I'm glad Holman is gone. He has no clue about the tradition of IU and it shows with him not knowing how to call Indiana- IU not U of I. What a tool!

Fortunately he had a pretty good head on his shoulders and a good support system, but it was amazing to hear him talk about the things that happened in the world of AAU, Nike camps, and college recruiting. Let's just say that there are a lot of young prospects that at age 18 hadn't hear the word "no" very often as their growing entourages seek to ingratiate themselves with a potential NBA star. It's pretty easy to see how some can end up with a problematic sense of entitlement.
