Re: Report: Two more years added to Crean’s contract

Horseman — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:20:39 -0000

I beg to differ Big A and tend to take the side of scotty on this one. I believe this extension is in direct corelation with the ncaa sanctions that are going to be dealt out. Wouldn't be shocked to hear that we have a 2-year postseason ban. =/

Yeah, we were turning into the next Ohio State.

Re: Tom Crean statement on dismissed players

I didn't think he had verbally committed to anyone yet, but when he planned additional visits, he was going to Memphis, Texas, and Rutgers (????). His AAU coach has said repeatedly that they want to find a place where he can "shine" on a national stage, ie...he plans to be one and done. I feel like IU will have a lot of spotlight this year because of the rebuilding and with him, they could win some games, and lord knows he'd be the best on the team.

With all that said, Calipari's a crook and he'll end up at Memphis.

Yeah, Ewing did that dunk at IU's Midnight Madness during his short time here. IT brought the house down and he won the slam dunk contest at MM in Assembly Hall. YOU can search the dunk on youtube.

wow.. some of the comments under that article are rediculous. suck fampson..

Re: Tim Buckley will likely be top assistant to Crean

Horseman — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:11:46 -0000

Buckley was a pretty decent coach at BSU. I caught a couple of their games back when he coached and his teams played really hard for him. I feel like Crean can do no wrong.

Re: No surprise: Gordon officially declares for NBA draft

Knight said after watching bailey in 8th grade that bailey could start for his squad right now. But bailey still was pretty sweet.

Van Treese said he was being recruited by Marquette a little bit. How good is this kid?

cute.

Re: The Aftermath: Eric Gordon

Matt_J — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 11:13:33 -0000

I didn't realize that Gordon averages 78 points a game. Apparently, he was expected to win every game he ever played.

Re: The Aftermath: Eric Gordon

BTOWN40 — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 09:26:33 -0000

It's not about HE, it's a team game. Gordon is good and will do just fine in the pros. I blame Sampson, there was no screens set for Gordon, only thing Sampson called for him were 2 plays and they were the CHUCK 30 footer, and the dribble drive into traffic off my knee, chest, and chin out of bounds.
Think how much more potent IU's offense would have been with movement using Gordon as a decoy sometimes, he could have easily dropped his turnover rate, upped his assist rate, all while averaging the same amount of points. He was never coached to do any of this. Kelvin Sampson screw you, you messed up a potentially excellent season

Re: The Aftermath: Eric Gordon

Horseman — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:45:09 -0000

too good for college?? thats laughable at best. if he can't handle adversity at the college level what makes you think he can handle it at the pro level. pros have to endure injuries all the time. greg oden - too good for college

if he was too good for college he could've won A game in the tournament.

Re: The Aftermath: Eric Gordon

CutterInChicago — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:39:45 -0000

That seems a little over the top. Andrae Patterson, Charlie Miller... that entire recruiting class?
Eric was an outstanding 18 year-old freshman basketball player. But he's an 18 year-old freshman and the NBA drafts on potential (or as I like to say, "Tremendous Upside Potential - TUP" and apologies to The Sports Guy and Hubie Brown).
Gordon has tons of TUP. He's lightning quick, big and strong and when his shot is on, its outstanding (but Steve Green, Steve Alford and Jay "Silk" Edwards were as good in many ways).
But he's an 18 year-old freshman, ONE year outta high school.

As for the year being a disappointment, I will give you that one. Its strange, I think Sampson was a better coach with Davis' talent than he was with his own. They year before was a pleasant surprise. This year, unfulfilled promise and a tragic ending.

Bring me some Crean for my Crimson!

Good article A.

Biggest let down ever as an iu fan... I thought this guy was going to do incredible things when he got here. In all my years of being an iu fan i've never seen a bigger dissapointment than this season.. and that includes ej. I just remember being so excited to see my team seriously compete again. I hate you Sampson.

Some one please hit me with one of those Men In Black light thingies and make me forget about gordan and this whole season like it never happened.
