Could we be looking at a 5 man class?

[Al Bino]

It is you who has reading comprehension problems.

I clearly asked

"So if everything would fall into place and all the players.... the OP listed wanted to come here, do you think CTC would take them?"

Did you answer the question?

So even though we are over committed by two,
we should still be actively recruiting? That is FAR from your
hypothetical scenario of three open scholarships and recruiting more
than three players. If IU had three openings it would only be prudent
to be recruiting multiple players but WE DON'T HAVE ANY available
scholarships, have two committed and he is still recruiting.

Why don't
you answer some of the questions I asked?

Here is your statement "Also,
please refute the fact that we've had open spots that needed filled
(even w oversigning) the past few yrs." Can't refute. Happens when you
run players off. Maybe there needed to be a bloodletting. All I know
is multiple players left.

We shall see.

I mean we only have like 5-6 off seasons with Crean to support such conclusions. Nothing like I have suggested has happened so far...right?

Nobody thought Zeller was TWO AND DONE?

Are you kidding? It was evident in high school that he could easily have been a one and done in college. At the very least, CTC had to know that Cody's sophomore year was his last year.

And Al Bino, maybe your reading comprehension needs some work (or you just overlooked the post) but when did recruiting mean somebody will take a commitment from every person being recruited? The example points out how ridiculous it is to say we should never be recruiting or talking to kids bc there isn't an open scholarship. So if you DID have an open one (or 3 in my example), are you suggesting a coach literally shouldn't talk to or watch more than 1 player? There's literally nothing wrong w having options to replace potential losses. Also, please refute the fact that we've had open spots that needed filled (even w oversigning) the past few yrs. Explain how that's a negative to have potential guys to fill those spots if there's attrition .

Uh, Zeller admitted the plan from day one was two-years in school which is why he tried to get as close to his degree as he possibly could. He knew he wouldn't be around. He also said, he considered leaving after one-year but decided to stick to the original two-year plan.

He considered leaving after one yr yet wasn't even projected as a 1st or 2nd rd pick? And both brothers stayed all 4 yrs w a family emphasis on education (1 all-American, and the other Mr. Basketball). Ok 2+ yrs was prob more of a hope but I'm calling bs on anybody that was predicting a 1 and done from him out of hs (and the revisionist history is awfully convenient now, after its played out) . There are lots of 5 stars that don't leave after 1 yr so saying him being ranked that is reason to think he's 1 and done is also a cop out and hardly evidence of what expectations should be for him.

So the point still stands that we are extremely close to having a balanced roster (by having any one of 4 fairly reasonable outcomes having happened) but the idiots here want to act like since Crean's watching a few players or recruiting them that he's taking their commitments immediately and we're over-signed by 4

Honestly not sure what the purpose of posting on here is since basic logic is completely lost on the vocal minority

CZ was never going to be here as an upperclassmen, NV moved up a recruiting class so he could get to the NBA quicker, Lyles never played here and switched schools in plenty of time for Crean to find another. The only player he truly lost was LF.

So the question is why does he only want one true big man on the roster that has bball skills, while using the last spots on the bench for project big men that never see the floor? He has had a history of not utilizing big men in an efficient manner. He doesn't want to ever play 2 big men and never will actively recruit in that way. He wants teams like this. Athletic and FAST. Beat your man to the basket one on one, try to get fouled, or kick out for three. Defense is an afterthought and if we actually had big men (plural) His defense would not always be roughly ranked 150 on average.

"that he's taking their commitments immediately and we're over-signed by 4"

Who said that? Please cut and paste a quote.

The OP asked if we were headed for a 5 man class. A simple question. I asked if all five wanted to come would he take all five. A simple question. NEITHER one of us made statements of fact, just questions. This is a discussion forum, maybe you didn't get the memo.

I have asked several questions but you refuse to answer, why? Oh, I get it, your logic is so righteous that there is no reason to discuss the situation. Right!!!! Sometimes a question is just that, a question.

You accused the OP of being obtuse for purposes of HIS agenda. How is asking a simple question part of his agenda? Sure, he doesn't think CTC is a good coach but his question had NOTHING to do with that particular fact. So, what is YOUR agenda? Of course, that is another question which it seems you are either unwilling or incapable of answering so I won't hold my breath for an answer.

Lafayette IN says it all

You are easy to figure out ... your profile city says it all.

He asked a simple question ... you turned it into a lecture from "the almighty one"..."listen to me, I'm the greatest"

Get lost

Seriously? If you can't actually provide any substance to the discussion, why post? Also what am I posting that isn't true?
