Nice job Kelvin. Cheat then allow the players you did get for IU to leave. Is this what's meant by "reaching out from the grave"?

Let em all go. IU needs to regroup under a new young coach (no, dakich is not the answer) and get some class kids in here. I've not been overly impressed with the character of the kids Sampson brought in, like Jamarcus Ellis. Yes I like Eric, but he's gone next year.

That's good news. The fewer guys like this (and Ellis and Thomas and Holman) who come to IU, the better. We're better than resorting to being Thug U. Indiana basketball should be quality Indiana boys like Calbert, Bailey, the Grahams, Alford, etc., with a sprinkling of high character players from other places like Hillman, Patterson, Buckner, etc.

The NYC kid has "handlers". He's a 1 and done to the NBA like Gordon. Is this the type of Sampson recruiting that made IU basketball? Look at Tabor's hustle and grit. Factoid: Purdue has 9 kids from Indiana on its roster, 1 from Illinois and 4 elsewhere.

Don't want to come to IU since the cheater is gone, that's fine with me. Bring me players that care for the team, not themselves. I suppose playing in front of 17,000 people every night is too much for some recruits. I'll watch where he ends up and we'll see who comes out ahead in this. My feeling, IU will. It may take awhile in light of the Sampson mess, but we'll be back.

After yesterday's game, I can't say that I blame the young man. He wants to play basketball way into March!

Each year that IU stinks in basketball gives me great pleasure. You guys keep a basketball "thug" coach like Bob Knight and push away others. You will lose the first game in the tournament, then lose White and Gordan to the NBA. Then I would not be surprised if the other underclassmen leave to other schools. You're going to lose top recruits and from the way you handle things, will end up with a bum coach. And what makes it worse, Purdue will be good for years to come. I just love Karma.

Yeah well....IU has lost a lot in the last 15 years.
Seems to be having a big bump in the road again.
Kicking the most recent recruit for moving on
is futile. Who wouldn't rather play for Duke
or UNC or any other big named school? IU has
lost all that status. Pat yourself on the back.

Shocking! Shocking I tell you! You mean these top prospects don’t want to come to a school with no coach and that’s about to receive serious NCAA penalties. Shocking I tell you, shocking!
Hey, IU could always offer a scholarship to Bud Mackey again...well, if he’s not in jail for selling cocaine.

Terrell, don't let the door hit you on the way out of your committment. By the way, KS asked me to give you his new cell phone number. Let me know if you don't have it.

Blah, Blah, Blah...nobody cares about losing this one recruit.
This basketball nightmare for IU started the day Myles Brand booted RMK and things have gone to hell-in-hen-basket ever since.
MD couldn't handle the stress,
KS couldn't handle the thought of limited calls,
Who wants to step up to the plate now?

How about getting a COACH that cares for the team more than himself?

Eli Holman - admitted to selling weed in high school, given scholarship by Kelvin Sampson. Armon Bassett - caught smoking weed during the season with Jamarcus Ellis, suspended briefly.

So what...do not care...don't let the door hit you in the --- on the way to some other University. If the departure of KS is the reason for this kid to want "out", good riddance.
(IMO)

Hire trash and this is what you get! What a beautiful vicious cycle it is. Hire idiots= almost get recruits
Fire idiots= no recruits for IU
KARMA!

Please wait...
The real shame in all of this is that the players are more worried about getting a trophy than an education. We need to rethink college sports.
