(1) Indiana Basketball - Mid-majors can be minor league for IU; 5 potential trade partners for Colts! - YouTube My post there was just a joke but I do think that recruiting through the portal will become extremely important for high-major schools and the low- and mid-major schools will essentially be used for developing and testing players that aren't deemed a sure thing. Players like Braden Smith will likely go to one of those and if he performs well he'll transfer to a larger school. So what I see as likely to happen is that the large schools will actively recruit players like that to establish a relationship but will ultimately never extend a scholarship offer. They may even talk to them about the possibility of transferring to their school later on once proven. I also think that the coaches will maintain relationships with players they like, their families, and/or their coaches so that if (when) they do transfer in the future they have a better shot at landing them.

Hoosier987 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Wow. It continues to get worse for Georgia basketball. 2 more transfers from UGA have hit the portal today. Including guard KD Johnson who averaged 13.5 PPG. Per Jeff Goodman, that makes 7 of UGA's top 8 scorers who are transferring out of UGA. Yikes!

Who gets the credit for players going? Cody was going to the league. Vonleh was as well....but Crean had Deiner, Hayward, Matthews, Novak, McNeil and obviously Wade at Marquette...not to mention what he did with Vic, Bryant (probably more of his own), OG, Yogi, Williams, Blackmon....shoot Crean has put more talent in the league while being widely criticized than the head coaches at Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Purdue combined. Just saying a football school should maybe stay out of the way on this one. Crean does know what he's doing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Georgia is in the $EC...maybe he just needs to get with the other programs down there...L$U, Auburn, Ole Mi$$, etc etc...gotta play the game.

His key guys he recruited were Zeller, Yogi, Blackmon....what's the common denominator in those families? They all had $ and didn't need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of ex players talk crap about him when he isn’t around. A lot of AAU coaches know his crap now. He gets made fun of in coaching circles because he whiffs so much on assistants because he is a jerk. Total Crean issue. Any school that hires him will end up running into the same issue. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to share some examples of ex-players that talk crap about him? I am sure he has far more that love him. Every coach whiffs in recruiting and assistant coaches. Heck, RMK had Dakich as an assistant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren’t a top kid, you are dispensable to him. Why do you think he has ALWAYS had trouble with transfers and coaches like Painter doesn’t. People that matter like Painter.

Painter is way more successful than Crean over the long haul. Crean never finished over 5th in the Big East before here. He was a wide swing of success and failures because he pissed off players and AAU coaches. Fischer comes to mind. Vonleh despised him. Sheehey despised him. Zeller and Hulls questioned him. Why do you think he struggled recruiting in Indiana after the 2014 class? The one success in recruiting in 2014 was a kid who never attempted to defend. He did Patterson dirty. We can go on and on and on and on if you want. Edited May 12, 2021 by IU_Realist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was he taking the kids that transferred? We got the Prillers and Whatever. Like I said people observe how you treat kids even when they don’t work out. Crean was bad to those kids. Look at his response to the kid who just transferred. Juvenile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
