Brass Cannon Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 4 hours ago, Maedhros said: I'll never understand comments like these. Five years after being tasked with starting a roster from scratch, Crean had Indiana ranked first in the country. That's the very opposite of being irrelevant, and something Indiana hadn't achieved since 1993, Cheaney's senior year. Two Big Ten titles and three Sweet Sixteen appearances, outside of Mike Davis's outlier year those are things we also hadn't seen since Knight lost his fastball. It's okay to both recognize that Crean did a lot of good for this program, while also thinking we'd seen his ceiling and Indiana could be even more. Why did it take so long to build a competent team? What followed that 5th year? What followed his 8th year? Crean is a guy that needs to rebuild he doesn’t understand reloading and for the money he was being paid he needed to have a decent team more than 3 out of 9 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 No clue of impact but 5 star center Walker Kessler said yes to Carolina last night. Might make other options more appealing to Garcia. I know they aren't playing the exact same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The preference here was always a big which would be Kalkbrenner or Dickinson.

Kalk just got a Kansas offer but appears like he’s not going to visit there/consider them this late in the process. Kalbrenner commits to Creighton. And then there was one...

Dickinson has always been the preferred guy in this class. Think Purdue has a good shot to land him but even if we strike out, will likely bank it for 2021 class and have 3 scholarships.

As long as get get Lander and Kaufman you can have anyone you want. I wont be sad thought if Furst goes somewhere other then PU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could probably sell him on the idea of being a 4 though. I doubt Garcia sees himself as or wants to be a center, so the idea of having 2 highly talented bigs to guard the big guys could be appealing to him.

If I was a Purdue fan, I would be asking......WTF happen with Kalkbrenner?!?!? Creighton wasn't on him that much earlier than Purdue.....and its Creighton.

It’s not just that they have 2 or 3 front court players that could be back next year from this years roster. He isn’t going to UNC unless something crazy happens. I think it’ll be Marquette or IU at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck a month ago everyone thought he was going to Illinois then some thought Kansas here these last few weeks. Dont think it’d be a surprise at all if Dickinson goes to Purdue. One of the main guys on rivals has had Dickinson pegged to Purdue since March. Why’d he pick Creighton? Who knows. Maybe he likes the smaller school/religious aspect.

And Kansas just offered what....last week? And I don't think anyone is picking Kansas right now. Dickinson might have Purdue in top 3.....but wouldn't be a surprise at all if he doesnt. maybe not even top 5. Michigan has made a HUGE push. He's been to UofL multiple times and Florida State just got a visit. And that's after Purdue was the perceived leader. Notre Dame was the popular pick at the beginning and they are still hanging around. And I know Purdue has a visit coming up. If after the visit there isn't massive positive Purdue news.....

Sounds like Dickinson is wiiiiiiide open. Purdue getting the last visit is a plus for them, but the competition is stiff. If the choice is Purdue vs. the field, I take the field with Louisville, Florida State, Michigan and Notre Dame all still in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also didn’t Creightons coach get mentioned in the fbi investigation?? Could explain some things with the other big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
