Hello! There's another thread going on about next year's IU team. Most people seem to think around a .500 or worse season if I'm reading that correctly?
I'm a little more optimistic than that, just in that he is getting some players in and he appears to do well with guard-oriented offenses, which he will have to some extent.
However, I wouldn't think a Big Ten title is in the cards. Losing Eric Gordon, DJ White, Bassett and Ellis isn't trivial, two of those 4 are first-round NBA talents and the other two have skills.
I do however think Crean's ability to coach offense will make an immediate impact on next year's Hoosier team for the better. Sampson couldn't coach offense worth a crap. I think they'll do better than the average Joe projects but, I dunno, 4th or 5th in the Big Ten, 1st round NCAA tournament loss? Anything better than that would be a pretty huge success, imo, considering what happened to this team over the past 6 months.
