Completely off the wall question…

[Sobchak_Security]

But a buddy and I were discussing today and it was driving us nuts….does anyone remember, other than Devin Ebanks, who Sampson had committed for the incoming class before he was fired??

 

[SRThoosier]

Are these in that class?

Roth
Pritchard
Jones
Rivers

Terrell Holloway ended up at Xavier

 

[BA47591]

Tom Pritchard and Holloway

Jeeez. That is out of left field for sure. Can’t recall, but I’ll bet someone around here will remember.

I think those were all scraps Crean picked up late in the game.

I believe it was a mix. Nevertheless, it was uneventful.

 

[SRThoosier]

Bud Mackey?

Yes, he was originally recruited by Sampson.

 

[SRThoosier]

We’re sitting on 7 national titles had Sampson stayed off the phones one more year..

Holloway! That was the name I couldn’t think of. My buddy thought perhaps Kevin Jones also, but I couldn’t recall his name as a commit

Crean should have kept Roth around an additional year.

Perhaps. Drugs and grades were an issue too. Hard to say when he would have lost momentum

Bud Mackey?

Bud Melman

That’s Larry “Bud” Melman to you.

Yet another person who thinks it was about the phone calls. Good grief. You don't get a 5-year show cause for dialing a few numbers.

It's called lack of institutional control. He was the worst thing that happened to IU since Knight was fired; he f***ed the program.

 

[HoosierinNebraska]

which coach recruited Bob Vaden?

 

[Tammany Hall]

Lance Stephenson was at Hoosier Hysteria. If Kelvin didn’t get in trouble I wonder if we would have got him — that would have been a wild experience.

which coach recruited Bob Vaden?

Mike Davis when he was Bob Knight's recruiter.

Crean should have kept Roth around an additional year.

Roth is the Head Coach of the Fort Wayne Blackhawk team. It is cool seeing him on the sidelines. I'd probably go to one of their games but they are always sold out.
