No doubt. This season has been unacceptable. If we lose Vonleh to the draft Crean is going to get canned at the end of next season. We have shooters in our recruiting class but no big men.

Same thing I'm thinking. Because if Vonleh leaves, we'll miss the tourney yet again.

Someone get Brad Stevens on the phone, see if he wants to make a return

Do you guys really think Vonleh leaves?

He's a great player but needs to stay at least 1 more year I think.

That would be amazing.

It's ridculous how teams are able to go on big runs coming out of half. Every single game.

Last I heard he was projected to go in the lottery. He absolutely needs to stay and develop, but it's hard to turn down that money.

He definitely needs to develop his offense.

His rebounding seems to be top notch

Yeah would be a bummer if he bailed after 1 year.

Takes away a silver lining to a inconsistent young teams development for next year.

I don't know if it matters, to be honest. Crean can recruit, but his coaching is suspect.

I mean, will Indiana ever have a team as good as last seasons any time in the near future? Probably not, and Crean couldn't even get out of the sweet 16

Yeah as I told Hoosier a little while back. I am a Marquette fan so I know what you're saying.

He is a beast on the recruiting trail. Just really, really bad at making adjustments. If the plan isn't working, there is no back up.

Yeah, and this is really evident when he runs into a team willing to play the zone.

I'm just glad they weren't able to return the favor and beat us by 30 like we did last year on their home court. This season is spiraling out of control.

For some reason, I was thinking IU had a top 5 recruiting class coming in for 2014?

I was never a Tom Crean fan(disregard my overall disdain for Marquette, I would have loathed him wherever he coached). It's amazing, and sad how his teams have regressed even with the talent he has. He's the worst coach in the Big Ten. How he was unprepared, TWICE, for Syracuse to play a zone is beyond me. As a Badger I hope Crean stays at Indiana for the next decade, but as a basketball fan I don't see how Crean can keep his.

I'm sure at one point we did as our top recruits committed early, but we've been passed by many teams and last time I checked I think espn had us at 17.
