Let's not pretend like Eric had these connections. That is false and an assumption. This I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy hearing the insider's info from the former players. I do too. In general, I'm a big fan of Hoosier Hysterics. My only real complaint is the bend toward Crean bashing. Just let the players tell their stories. You'll have players like Rivers and then you'll have Dwayne Wade...some players loved him and others...well, didn't. I just don't like seeing an interviewer ask leading questions and try to slant an interview one way or the other. Interviewers should be neutral parties and let the interviewee tell the story. The HH guys definitely have a negative opinion on Crean and they are letting that take a solid "A" product to the B+ level. Guys, if you're reading this (and based on a few clues, I assume you are), you're very good, but you can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Second year as HC of IUBB... Coach Crean had a guy by the name of Bawa Munriu. Have we not fogotten ? I could name others. But will leave it there. It was not till a year later, Coach Crean had a young fella from Washington, Indiana. By the name of Cody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the coach at a top 5 program and he couldn't land a decent big guy to save his life. Literally any top 100 guy would've come here and started right away yet he was dumpster diving for guys like Pegram, Gray, Steijn, Dinc, etc. Thank goodness he once babysat DJ White.

Sean May recruited Wright and Stickland to IU - this set back the program when it was a surprise (To Davis) Greg Oden when with Conley because of wrong mail, etc. He did have Smith and Rothbart- never arrived on campus and Howard was very interested to go with his buddy Smith. Ben Allen might of been a nice player if stayed. DJ White was huge for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
