OT: Maurice Creek (IU MBB) to transfer
Well, like myself (and several others who know way more about stuff than me) predicted, Maurice Creek of Indiana will graduate and transfer, to seek more playing time. This will fix all the scholarship issues that IU potentially would have had to deal with.
I know the general response to Tom Crean is that he is a douche, which I can't really argue with. That being said, it is pretty safe to say that Tom Crean is NOT forcing Creek to leave.
Best of luck as long as you don't play Michigan.
Sidenote: I wouldn't want to play for a guy whose haircut implies "I have a favorite serial killer." Anyone else creeped out by the middle-part? This douchery aside.
Butt Cut/Schrute Cut
I find it interesting that college athletes can blatantly say "I am transferring for more playing time" whereas in high school, that would get you in serious trouble. Just noting that athletes have no qualms about dropping the student-(revenue)athlete facade on the collegiate level. It's rare to see statements (also see PSU QB) that state exactly why they are leaving, without giving the typical "Well, East Carolina has such a strong phyiscal education major so..."

Remember....that one time....when Michigan made the Final Four and Indiana didn't.....yeah that was sweet.

Um . . . And in the end, love you take is equal to the love you make?

Uh, is that true?
R.I.P.
MAURICE CREEK'S KNEES/FEET/LEGS, ET ALL, HELPED WRECK THE PROGRAM!
So, IU is losing 4 starters and only guy off bench who got significant PT was Shehey and Creek can't find PT on that team? I find that one hard to believe.

Seems pretty clear cut to me, unless you're implying there's some sort of discipline issue with the guy and he's being gently booted.
He needs to be the first or second guy. No way that happens at IU.
Or maybe he's got a grad school he likes.

Zack Novak would disagree
He makes me appreciate Thad Matta and Bo Ryan...(shutter)

You think he could be a solid backup QB?
April 24th, 2013 at 10:42 PM ^
I don't see him wanting to sit, he seems really interested in getting PT. Also, what's the point in getting a guy who needs bubble wrap to back-up a guy who probably should be wearing bubble-wrap?

Still doesn't change the fact that Crean is a jerk.

While Crean is VERY SEC, if he keeps winning, do you really think they will tire of him? I don't.
Maybe he'll join McLimas at Miami and they can rule the MAC together in their 5th year of eligibility. Although not likely, I think Creek is headed more eastward, but I can still dream

Evertime I look at Crean he reminds me of Tom Arnold for some reason.
