Nowhere else could we get a report like this, not from the Indy Star, not from Demling or even from ITH (which we love!). Tom Crean's understanding of Social Media and connecting with fans, alumni, students and recruits is going to pay off big time in the long run.
You 102% right on this....and so is Crean. Another avenue to connect to a fanbase the only expands it and separates the IU fanbase from others....and these small things go a long way in building a program.
noticed that. To anyone that might be interested the text from D Wade's induction to the Marquette hall of fame speech is on the official IU website for mens bball. Not suprisingly he has some very good things to say about CTC. I can believe the things that he says after meeting CTC before he even became our head coach. Met him at the convention center connected to the Hoosier Dome the last time the national championship was held there. I approached him to ask if he would mind if my friend & I could take a picture with him. Then decided to ask him if he had time for us to each have one taken by ourselves with him. His reply was heck we can take all the pictures you want. Do you know my assistant coach Bennie Seltzer he can take all the pictures you want. He then introduced us to him as well as others and then hollered for his players that was there to come over to where we were and introduced us to them as well. Then something happened that made me believe he really believes the BECAUSE ITS INDIANA thing. We thanked him for his time and told him we didn't want to take up any more of his time to which he said are you guys from Indiana, we answered yes, to which he replied you guys are from Indiana and you don't want to talk about bball? He was nice enough to talk to us for over 30 minutes about bball as well as other things. I wanted this man as our head coach both times that it was avaible and can still remember where I was and what I was doing when it was announced.
Also, anyone else notice the signed D Wade jersey in the background?
** Bawa in shirt, tie, and sport coat just put him in my top 5 IU players this year. Regardless of stats, gotta love the look even when not required
** Interesting thoughts on TP, I know the kids is in some shape, guess Crean wants a more sleek TP this year.
** Matt Roth has gotta make open shots, thought I would never hear that
** Hey lay off Mike Davis he had great player development, just because you guys didn't like 15 dribbles then a fade away shot with 3 seconds left on the shot clock wasn't his fault(you can't teach those skills).....what about the great conditioning of Marco?
I am really excited to see VJ III's development, how Rivers is going to help this team with turnovers, and if our bigs can compete on the Big 10 level. I was disappointed that Roth and Pritch did not come ready, it makes the predictions of their impending departure seem more and more imminent.
Your predictions about TP and Roth duplicate mine, maybe they will surprise us this year....I really want to see Pritchard do well, I like his toughness, his edge, and he is a solid post game. We will see.....
Also, weren't they the last two Denim Shirt recruits? Makes you wonder, that's all I'm saying.....
I hate to get off subject. But I saw that coach in visiting Enes Kanter tonight. Do you think we have a fair chance of drawing him to IU? With this guy and Irving. We would be scary lol.
Any way we can get a list of all the home visits as that information becomes available?
There appears to be a ton of schools going after this kid, so it might be hard for Crean to cut through all the noise. IMO, its too early to start thinking of him as anything more than a target.
