Kid doesn't even have a Rivals' profile. That can't be good.

He'll get Creaned before he ever sets foot on campus. Just watch.

There's a better chance of John Wall suiting up for his sophomore year at UK than that kid finishing his undergrad degree with an IU basketball scholarship.

He better get a degree cause he sure isn't going to make any money playing professional basketball.

 

[Uk1111]

His profile doesn't tell the whole story. As we all know IU does it the right way and he's not only a great student only there for a degree, but he's a great kisser, and Creans been thinking about him a WHOLE LOT!!!!

 

[Supafuzz75]

They're trying to sunshine pump him on peegs right now.. Deadly shooter out to 25'.. Not much at anything else though but can be taught to be a player,, or so they say.. And a great #6 recruit for their class..

I dunno - are you more likely to go back and get a degree with your millions of NBA dollars or after you're left with no position on the team from the spring creaning?

 

[BlueKt]

And here we go, the graduation award goes to....... Indiana. Yes everyone, it's basketball, but everyone gets a trophy and graduation award go to Indiana. Hold applauses please

Indiana fans try and act like their program sucks because they are above "the way". Of course, it's all lies, and IU is just finding what they see as a "reason" for sucking, and what better way than to pretend your school is an academic one.

The second Indiana hires another coach you'll see this faux "holy" attitude shift. They want to win, they just don't know how.

The two programs that will be unable to stand the test of time are Indiana (it's already happened) and UNC (happening). Duke has secured UNC's place in the game and if it weren't for the conference shifts screwing Uconn, they'd be Indiana's replacement. But a program doesn't need another program to necessarily "steal the thunder" to be yesterday like Notre Dame. You can lose your ass all on your own "see Indiana".

[HoosierfanJM]

We are far from the only program that graduates players.

Almost every program graduates rotation quality players; only two or three rarely do out of 341 D1 programs.

 

[hotelblue]

i hope he brings protection with clappy on the prowl. steal reinforced trap doors, and wax on/off-miagi style defense, to ward off crean's french style greetings. eat garlic everyday, where a cup (back and front) and have a nice career. if you get creaned don't blame us.

We graduate all of our "rotation quality" players. The rest go on to play pro. When every player either graduates or plays professionally, there's nothing for you to criticize. Your guys play at Indiana in the same way that a kid plays for a local big time high school. The vast majority do nothing in basketball after leaving, but most graduate. It's not serious ball, but it's a nice recreational activity - you know, get the ol' blood flowing. And they can tell their grandkids some day that they played against a couple guys who went pro over the course of their career.

Is Austin Etherington going to get an IU degree? What about Jeremy Hollowell? What about Cody Zeller and and Noah Vonleh, are they coming back to get degrees? (I honestly don't know) How about Jeremiah April, Max Hoetzl, and Stanford Robinson, are they going to get IU degrees? How about Peter Jurkin? Bobby Capobianco? Where is Remy Abell going to get his degree from? (Xavier) How about Jonny Marlin? Surely Jonny Marlin will get an IU degree won't he? When does Luke Fischer graduate from Indiana HoosierFanJM? Ron Patterson got a degree from IU, right? You probably forgot about Bawa Minuru (but I didn't), did he get an IU degree? How about Malik Story, JM? How about Nick Williams? Oh yeah and its going to be tough for Hanner Mosquera-Perea and Devin Davis to graduate from IU considering they were kicked off the team for run ins with the law. Did I miss anyone?

 

[ccukuk]

Just like Jeremiah April. He's got candidate for Creaning written all over him. I feel sorry for the kids and their families. The Kentucky 2016 recruits will be millionaires while this guy is finishing up at someplace like Trinity Valley Community College, which is where April ended up.

Ok, typical IU idiot fan: my dad was accepted to denat school to UK after three years at Xavier. He has a doctorate but not a baachelor's degree. He was one year faster to completing his reason for school, to earn a living. So, argue grad rates and all your dilusional b.s. about school loyalty. Anyone going to school has a purpose, it's to earn a living(unless you are an idiot art major, philosophy major, hoosier, etc). So take your crap recruits and crummy isuck degree and nasty coach. We'll take our winning ways and players all day long

Hahahahahahaaaaaa!!! This response is the best thing ever! It literally put me on the floor laughing. This should really be embarrassing for IU fans. The fact that they have fallen soooo far that this is their argument when they sign a recruit. This must be rock bottom for IU fans. Its really sad actually. But so hilarious for us.

There's literally zero reason to give a shit if someone graduates. But your program blows so sorry

You do realize all our former players can return to school for free whenever they want. Maybe after they have a few (hundred in the case of some) million in their pocket

HoosierfanJM just got owned.

 

[jameslee32]

Tom Crean now = Tubby post 2004-05.

Clappy = Tubby on Super Tuesday road games in Gainesville, called by Brad Nessler and Rhythm Dribble himself, circa 2005/2007. Nice.

 

[HoosierfanJM]

HoosierfanJM just got owned.

I got owned by being asked if lottery picks Zeller and Oladipo got IU degrees? Yup - they sure as heck did (with Zeller as a 1st team Academic AA). So did Marlin and Etherington. So did Hulls, Watford, Sheehey, Pritchard, Elston, and Roth. And Moore, and Creek. And Jones, and on and on and on and on (yes...there are lots more).

Look, I'm not saying that EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY PLAYER has what it takes to get a degree; lots of college students transfer or flunk out that are not student athletes. Some college students transfer, or get arrested and kicked out of school...it happens! I'm also NOT saying that a program should never have players leave early for the draft. But geez, keep a few in school.

All I am saying is that I want (at IU; y'all can decide what you want) a program that wins, and that passes the giggle test for student athletes that have an interest in staying in college and working toward a degree. I also want players that stay long enough to grow a significant attachment to the university and their fellow students; not just the coach. Creaned? We're right at the national average for transfers in the Crean era. Not a problem...just an urban dictionary phrase. Three transfers this year, none the year before.

Crean hasn't won enough for my liking, but his program is overwhelmingly comprised of student athletes. If IU has a program to be envious of, it's Wisky or MSU. They win big and graduate players that actually play!...all without doing the el-fako UNC dance.

We now return to your regularly scheduled flame fest.

 

[BigKari]

Nobody asked if Oladipo got a degree dummy, at least I didn't. The only appropriate response to my post is no response. You just got summarily owned on my home court bud, you got embarrassed whether you think you did or you didn't. The thing you don't seem to get though, is that IU has to have transfers because your coach over recruits, he sets players up for failure. Do you really think it was a coincidence that there were 16 scholarship players and 3 players just happened to be searching for a new situation? I'm sure that you really do believe that, but its just not reality.

This post would get laughed off the internet on Peegs. Your own fans are tired of the idiotic roster management and player removal.

Look at the current threads over there. Your latest recruit is being mentioned as the next Creanable player.

You had no problem giving Noah Vonleh a schollie and he was a OAD from the beginning. You guys are praying for Thon Maker and have whiffed on numerous other OADs.

Just face it, if you guys could recruit the best you would and not fall back on the BS "have an interest in staying in college and working toward a degree"

Duke has plenty of OAD's and they are twice the school IU is...

It is sad, IU has become a middle tier program. 1987. The fans expectations have been lowered so much that it is almost embarrassing, and posts like this are equally pathetic.

 

[HoosierfanJM]

Nice.

Now Peegs is your source for what makes sense for IU. Not for me.

 

[BigKari]

It's hilarious BrianPoe. This thread is about Grant Gelon, and the only IU poster who has posted in this thread can't tell us one thing about him, I have no idea why he is posting here. JM, your contribution to this thread has been to tell us that Gelon is more likely to get an IU degree than a '16 recruit for us to a get a UK degree, when the opposite is true. Gelon has a very very small chance to get an IU degree based on what has happened in the past (which I so kindly detailed for you, if you have any questions about that just refer yourself back to that post). Plus our '16 class may include Brad Calipari, he will get a degree if he comes to UK. If Crean gets fired, do you think this kid is sticking around? If Crean stays do you really think Grant Gelon will not be creaned before acquiring enough credits for a degree? Dude, Y-O-U A-R-E A-N I-D-I-O-T.
