Indiana has dismissed both Hanner-Perea and Devin Davis
- Thread starter crawfords corner
- Start date
Crean back at it, creaning players. How long until we hear someone say something about him running players out of the program??
Does Hanner get to stay in the US or will the A-Hope program have him deported now? That kid was a top-10 recruit at one point.
They must be having some guys come in needed to make room for em.
I guess California needs to take notes on how to make room for other players.

Is Crean's assistant a really bad Pat Riley Halloween costume?Hey that's how I roll.
That's around 25/70 players kicked off or creaned since he's been there.. Thought I saw something like that the other day?
Let's see if I understand; Hannar Pannar, DD, and CC.....yep, I'd maybe smoke some dope. Heck, John Wayne himself may have taken a puff to get over that cluster Muck.........
Ah yes, that annual spring ritual where two tributes from every district are pulled from their home and sent away.....
This type of stuff makes me sick! Crean uses any excuse to get these guys outta here. I GUARANTEE he knows of other players in the program that fire it up from time-to-time. Even with the rivalry and general dislike aside, IU is not a place I would want to send my son to play basketball.
IU isn't the problem, that weird creepy pedophile looking coach is. No way my son would be allowed to be around Clappy.
Exactly! Doesn't look like he's going anywhere soon though. He will probably be creaning players until 2027.
IU fan here.
He didn't actually crean them. They were caught smoking dope in a dorm. With all the bad things happening at IU they probably needed to go.
My disappointment though was when I read the headline I at first thought it something about Hannah Davis coming to IU.

Crean is just fed up and he's not going to tolerate that crap in Bloomington.
Alright...I'll take as a given that the dismissal of two players from a program that is completely irrelevant to UK (I kid, I kid) will likely initiate a thread that is chock-full of flaming, even on the board of a team that is "not a rival" (I kid again!).
FWIW, here's an honest take, IMO only:
Any allegations of what is known as "Creaning", that is, getting rid of disposable players to open roster spots for better ones, is absolutely, inarguably, false.
1) Davis and Perea were slated to be 5th-8th range in guys for the rotation for next year. Spot starter or top backup big territory for both of them. Moreover, IU's scholly roster was at 13...including the zero-star, will never play Tim Priller. The dismissals get us down to 11; two under the limit. Do you really think IU is opening spots for Thon Maker, Swanigan and Murray in mid-May?
2) Davis and Perea were already, in the words of Dean Wermer, on "double-secret probation". Perea for a DUI last year and Davis for a drunken accident that nearly got Davis killed. Nice kids I'm sure, but both in 'one more screw-up and you're gone' status. They screwed up and... They. Are. Gone.
3) Crean is under pressure to make things right real, real soon. Whether it was his conclusion or came from above him, this decision was not hard to see coming.
Not good news for IU's basketball prospects, but not fatal news to next season's team either. Feel free to pick at every word in this post or go off track as some always will. But for the readers of substance, that's about the entirety of it.
Hypothetical son. I only have a daughter as of right now. If I had to project my hypothetical son, I'd say top 50 in the class of 2034 hahaha.
