Around the Hall: Carlino to South and Crean at Huber’s

by in Media | May 28th, 2009

Around the Hall is recommended reading from the Inside the Hall crew.

+ Mark Carlino, J.R. Holmes and Highland (AZ) athletic director Rod Huston talk about the Carlino’s decision to move to Indiana. {The Hoosier Scoop}

+ Mark Carlino says the move to Bloomington is motivated by the family’s love of the area. {Indianapolis Star HS blog}

+ Columnist Rick Bozich writes that while Tom Crean is still playing catch up with 2010 recruiting efforts, improvement is on the way. {Louisville Courier-Journal}

+ Crean tells supporters at Huber’s that he will not rest until the Indiana program is great again. {The News and Tribune}

Quotable:

“That’s fine. But don’t be mad at me if we find another guy who has more belief in what we’re going to do, wants to work hard and wants to help us make it back a little faster.” – Crean on his reaction when recruits question last year’s 6-25 record and how long it might take for IU to reach the NCAA Tournament again.

    One thing I will never get is the Calpari type people in this world. It takes a certain personality to bolt from a program under those circumstances, act like the second coming of Christ, nab all of these high profile recruits and act like the center of the universe knowing DAMN well the allegations are on the horizon.

    What are these people thinking? Never ceases to amaze me.

    In terms of IU recruiting, it seems to me Williams was a character/GPA recruit as a result of the recovery we are in. I have seen interesting articles however that note when his extremely talented AAU team is trailing or in a close game, Williams is always on the floor. Maybe a Jamarcus Ellis type talent without the reefer. (sorry that was bad)

    Now, if we grab another non-top 100 I suppose the confusion will really set in. My hope is the 2009 class is the foundation. We grab 1-2 top 100s in 2010 if possible. In 2011 we only go for the top 50 or we hang on to the schollys.

    I won't try to understand where we are or where we are headed on the recruiting front. I will confess I'm on pins and needles until it all shakes out.

    Milla I agree the recruiting stuff is mind boggling……I try to boil it down this way for me….

    Teague or Irving
    Will we recruit, offer, and sign D.Davis
    I am cool with Williams, good kid good grades good program good family over 6'1
    Plumlee, Zeller, or somebody over 6'9

    Follow this link and scroll down to the bottom to see a video of Williams from the TOC last weekend.

    I liked what little I saw. The kid has a body ready for the B10 and handles the ball well. He might not be the quickest, but he surely isn't slow. I can see him slashing into the paint from the wings and hitting pull-up jumpers or getting to the rim. I think he is ok. Certainly an improvement in talent and height from last year.

  • Kelin Blab

    Thanks for the link…..
    I like what I saw and I like what he could become. At 6'7 with some handle and length he could help a ton on both ends. We don't need everyone to put up 20ppg but solid role players are a big plus. Could be a Jamarcus Ellis 6.0…….

    No B10 school should be in the top 10. I know MSU had a good class. But just watch the bracket unfold without the Spartans there. Just a gut feeling though.

    Is Crean saying in his quote that another David Williams is possible, that good general play and a good 'tude might be enough? I'm hoping IU can collect both of the Lawrence N. 2010 guys, but that's a wish and a prayer.
