The Movement - Version 2
- Thread starter BaxterIU
- Start date
More like a bowel movement as was the infamous movement that only produced Yogi.
Yeah, outside of Yogi, they should have looked how that class turned out for us before naming it.
1. Don't know how widely known that moniker was outside of IU... and PU!
2. Hope springs eternal!
reminded a lot of the early/mid 90's when Steve Hart and the other guy (who never ended up playing for RMK so don't remember his name) named themselves Razzle and Dazzle before they ever showed up on campus.
They need to hire Crean to top that class off!
Exactly
Yogi - was great. loved him, especially his Senior year
Patterson - never made it to campus, got Creaned as was the saying back then
Hollowell - always seemed to be just going through the motions, transferred after 2 years
Perea - should have been a high jumper as he just was not a basketball player at all
Jurkin - lots of good name jokes, nothing else
Patterson's nutty mom named it. Knuckleheads on this board embraced the nickname, but not me. Patterson did not even get admitted.
wasn't hermon supposed to be a chicago legend? and the name neil reed will live in infamy in the annals of iu basketball.

that sounds about right.... many many many high school legends have had their status end right there, though... not that unusual
Hermon was a very good Chicago player. Never thought of as a legend. He was a head case at 3 high schools in 4 years (red flag #1). One of those schools being King HS, playing for Sonny Cox (red flag #2). He kind of fell into IU’s lap late when he couldn’t get into Illinois, Cox wouldn’t let him go to DePaul (Cox and many CPS coaches blackballed Joey Meyer by this time), and Cox liked the idea of one of his players playing for RMK. Chicago sportscaster David Kaplan knew lots of the backstory on Hermon’s long, winding HS career and recruitment. Hermon was one of those guys in HS that on paper you would think Knight would have and should have avoided (kinda like a poor man’s Funderburke in HS), but thought he could help the kid. Some, like Hermon, just have too much baggage.
