Muddy River Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Kinda quiet around here, so I thought I'd try to stir up some discussions. How about a list of players who wanted to come and play at IU but didn't for whatever reason. I'll start with : Oscar Robertson Bob Gibson Louie Dampier Who else? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) You could go down a lot of rabbit holes on this topic. What if Jay Edwards returned? What if Cody and Vic stay one more year? What if Epstein didn’t kill himself? I’d better show myself out... Edited May 3, 2021 by Danomatic 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 There's been quite a few over the years some already mentioned but Oden/Conly alone would be multiple F4's. Derrick Rose joining Eric Gordon would have been fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 I think Josh Smith and Kyrie Irving are the most interesting because they alone could've extended Davis and Crean's time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Obie Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Larry Bird. Eric Montross. He and Damon Bailey would have come to IU in the same class. Just think of the 92-93 Hoosiers with Montross on that team. That would have been truly sick, in a good way.

How would Irving have extended Crean's time? He had like 6 years after Kyrie finished playing in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah....I didn’t realize how long ago he played in college. I was thinking it was later and could’ve prevented that 1st lull after Syracuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthomas Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 The Larry Bird fiasco may have cost us at least one more title. And the Oden/Conley screw up was unforgivable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuckerkorn Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Bird & Turner are two good ones. I'll add another: If Ben Wilson had not been killed AND had come to play for Knight in the mid 80's. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted IU but we didn’t offer and he went to UK? I know for a fact that the Bob Gibson thing is true. I heard him tell the story in a lengthy interview. I remember attaching the link here.

Steubenhoosier Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 What if Wisconsin hadn’t leaked the story and RMK went there to coach instead of IU? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
