If we want to return to the prestige that IU basketball has had in the past, including Big Ten titles and National Championships then you need NBA quality players consistently coming into your program, especially big men.

I don't know why there is this misconception that winning in college basketball today and recruiting top high school players means selling youself to the devil and recruiting drug adicts that can read. Look at UNC, Duke, UCLA and Kansas. All very successful program over the last decade and longer and for the most part all those program are clean and have recruited respected citizens and students.

Why wouldn't you want winning players like Hansbrough, Russell Westbrook, Brandon Rush and Kyle Singler? All were top recruits that will play or are playing in the NBA, and all were model citizens and winners in college. What is so bad about that dude?

All I'm really trying to say I'd prefer to not see guards for the sake of guards in the 2010 class. If they aren't blue chip recruits, or if Crean isn't convinced he's found the next Dwayne Wade (who was on no one's recruiting lists), I'd prefer him to take a pass rather than filling a spot. Of course, I don't just want the tallest guy available either. Others have posted that they'd prefer to pass 2010 in order to land more top recruits in 2011. I think I might be in that camp as well.

Syracuse had Warrick, Maryland had Baxter (All-American) and Wilcox (lottery pick). MSU is the last team to not have that. You're also right about Arizona, but that's twice in the last 11 years. Even most of the runner's up had NBA quality bigs. The myth that college basketball is a guards game is exactly that, a myth.
