Troy Williams arrested

A lot of mishaps from Crean players.

Hanner, Yogi, Stan, Devin Davis, Devin Dumas, Holt, Troy Williams.

Who else?

Seems like enough.

Most of this was college age knucklheadedness but I get it. Troy's situation is more serious, and the fact that the team released him so quickly is not a good sign.
 
Crean chased the high National ranking players from all over the country and especially the Virginia, Maryland, and New York areas. I prefer Archie's Inside-Out recruiting strategy. There are culture differences in certain other areas of the country. I prefer more home grown Indiana players, and that is what Archie is doing.

The types of players Crean recruited left a lot to be desired. They weren’t all knuckleheads but too many of them were. Cream’s legacy at IU is nothing more than a shit stain.

Is it 'beat a dead horse' day? Again? This one seems to come about 300 days a year...

While I am no Tom Crean apologist, I invite you to take a look at his predecessor's record and tenure.

This thread was about a player from the Crean era. This is the reason I brought up Crean. If you want to talk about players Sampson brought in, fine. I’m well aware of what happened while Sampson was here. I’m also well aware of what happened while Davis was here.
 
I also hope Troy gets his life together. This sure didn’t help! I wish him the best.
I don't expect him to ever get smarter. I'll always remember him tweeting about getting his lion tattoo across his chest a couple of days before the Purdue game. He played like crap in that game.
 
And now for something completely different. Cody Zeller is off to a terrific start to his season averaging 15 points and 13 rebounds after 5 games.
Definitely. Zeller, Bryant, and OG are off to good starts. Hopefully Gordon gets rolling more consistently with the Rockets.

Romeo hasn’t played much if at all. Vic should be very good as usual when he returns. Yogi is getting a few minutes a game. And Vonleh a little more than Yogi.

unfortunately Romeo won’t sniff any real playing time for a couple seasons. Boston isn’t stacked, but they are top 4-5 in Weak eastern conference.

Romeo is a project, but also soooo damn young plenty on time to mature. Celtics are banking on the long term game for Romeo. No doubt he can be a nice 2nd unit rotation player next 2-3 seasons (not this season). In four years, when only 23, could be more or less. Can’t wait to see what he does.

And curio of Carsen Edwards future with Celts as well. Both have a lot to prove at NBA level
 
With Brown, Hayward, Smart and Tatum, Boston is pretty loaded at the positions that Romeo will play. If the Celts have to trade any of those guys to get a big then the door could open up for Romeo but his injuries probab;y has him behind until gets back to game speed on the farm.
 
Some of you need to get a grip.

For nearly a decade you praised Crean for being squeaky clean and only recruiting the cleanest, highest character kids.

Now that he’s gone you blame him for recruiting bad kids? Shocker...never seen this movie before. It’ll be the same rinse repeat BS once Archie is gone.
 
My understanding is he did make kids go to class. IU's grades were pretty good during Crean's tenure. He had to get their grades up due to the total garbage show that was Kelvin Samscum.
Except he eventually ruined the APR and was on the verge of violation. Sure...
 
Troy certainly had some tough moments on the court. But I saw a dynamic athletic wing who made us a better team.
He was by far the lowest IQ player I've ever seen. Calling him dumb is overstating his intellect .

Okay.... You are certainly entitled to your thoughts. I thought the positives out weighed the negatives. No big deal on the difference of opinion.

Who exactly are you calling out? The three posters who thought Crean only took choir boys?

I bet the brownie cooled down enough for you to finish your TV dinner, lonely guy.

Thx Twin Degrees for your always less than astute observations.

You continue to piss in the puddle mud of your own sh!t. How is that working out?

You were one of Crean’s main cult followers big guy.

lol. i was not and I know that because you threw likes at my anti-crean posts like you were giving away free kittens.

anyway, continue with the snoozy schtick. I assume we'll mostly see you after losses this season. nice that you're basically a ghost on the football board these days.
