If that's not contending, I don't know what is. <br><br>While I would never hold up Purdue as a model, it should be of some comfort that Purdue has gone from a losing season in 2006 to nearly winning the Big Ten in 2008 to a consensus preseason top 10 in 2009. I see no reason why IU can't execute a similar turnaround, given our more prestigious program and more experienced coach.

Crean never contended for anything at Marquette, and how long was he there? IU has a bunch of marginal players committed. Certainly not blue-chippers. Give me a break!

Most years, there isn't a lot to talk about in relation to IU when the summer months come rolling around.

I suppose the next question is "what is his timeframe for his college career? " . The longer the better for us but if he BELIEVES he is a 1 or 2 year guy then I think he goes elsewhere.<br><br>I really really appreciate however the fact that we are in the running and pray for the best Based on Negedu's statements I think it rules out GTech more than IU.
