I'd much rather have a roster full of kids with potential who want to be part of a "team" and build this program back to where it should be.

Thomas and Ferguson had already commited (at least for the 1st time) before Crean was hired and had a chance to recruit them. Although Teague looks like a hug LVille lean, IU is in the mix. He has huge inroads with the 2012 class, which is absolutely stacked with homegrown talent. This is where you will see his impact, but you have to realize that when he took over he was 2 years behind most programs recruiting for 08,09, and in some cases players in '10.

I wasn't trying to say this was a bad kid if he went to Duke. I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised if he went to Duke. In a "fair" world, I think based on how Crean followed this kid it would be a shame for IU to lose him.<br><br>If such is the case I think him going to Duke kinda stinks. But hey, this is the world we live in. We're on the same team Gleas. I'm hoping for the best too trust me. No offense taken. I wasn't trying to say this was a bad kid if he went to Duke.

The banners mean a lot to me, but I am an sniffing 40.....to recruits those banners don't carry much weight....maybe it is Crean<br><br>2.

If you base Crean's recruiting efforts on losing Dom Fergunson to Florida Int., Deshaun Thomas who committed 3 years ago to OSU, and Marquis probaly going to play for his dads old coach....well then blame Crean for global warming, the deficit, and the curse on the cubs too.....<br><br>4. Coach K is a great great coach.....but is being out recruited right now by UNC and is battling across the country.....and battling a 6 win team for one of the top 2010 PG...maybe it is Crean.<br><br>5.
