He didn’t want to go far from home and Crean closed the door with the old, “Dwayne Wade and Victor Oladipo weren’t top recruits coming out of high school and look what I did for them. Imagine what I could do with you?!” Sigh..... Plus we’re gonna play fast, jack a lot of 3s and always be ready to grab the ball out of the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a pretty stacked back-court in Year 2 for Crean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soiled water caused hundreds of dollars in damage. He and the University were not able to pay for the repairs because it would have been a recruiting violation. That and the the other gospel is that the assistant coach who played for Duke connected Irving with Coach K. Help lead to his firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustout Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 It sounds like it’s very possible IU doesn’t get any of the three they are after. Still a chance they get two however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rick Barnes and Matt Painter walk by. Oh ABSOLUTELY. However, early on (as was with Crean also) if the results are slow but the recruiting is looking good you can gain a little more “wait and see” with many fans. If you suck on the court AND don’t have exciting recruits coming you’re DOOMED IMO. 😳😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 1 AAU coach and 1 high school coach from the area openly talk about the shady dealings for Edwards. Could be sour grapes, but I'm a believer of where there's smoke, there's fire.

While it wouldn't surprise me that Crean texted someone from Adidas (since they supply equipment for the team), it would surprise me if there was a text asking if Adidas could buy him some players. I'd assume at least most coaches with an Adidas contract would have some sort of communication with employees of the company. ...and the only Crean assistant I recall getting into trouble was Kenny Johnson and those activities appear to have happened at Louisville. There may be others, but that's all I can recall. You can dislike Crean's faults & quirks, but I don't recall him being associated with dirty recruiting at all. In fact there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that he refused to play that game (the Lyles kid comes to mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second you have Johnson, Martin, etc. Third you had Buckley being used as the scapegoat for when Crean was caught recruiting the kid that went to MSU. And, you have this Another time, Gassnola and Gatto visited Indiana and according to a memo detailing the trip, Gassnola wrote “Jim assured [then]-Coach [Tom Crean] we are here to help. … We received huggs (sic).” What “help” means is open to debate. Crean eventually lost his job at Indiana in part for not recruiting well enough, so whatever “help” Gatto and Gassnola were talking about didn’t, well, help. But did just the hope Gassnola might be of any use for the Hoosiers really warrant a hug? “Tom hugged me,” Gassnola testified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoHoosier Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Time to re-read this thread. Find out if he is the 'run through a brick wall' type that we all love. Which will lead to me hoping for a commitment or banking a scholarship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
