Report: Vonleh Declares for Draft

This was a great weekend!

Tom Crean will be fired after next year. What were you thinking James Blackmon?
Is Blackmon going to Indiana?
He signed with them. He can get out of it if Crean is fired.

I dunno how Crean does it, but he has always been an AMAZING recruiter.
I don't get how people would want to play for him, he does not seem likeable in the least bit. I know D Wade is still very loyal to him and loved him as a coach, so he must be doing something right.
He should be able to get out of it anyway. I'd like to see a rule instituted that if you sign in November any contact from another school with a recruit is strictly prohibited but if the player just flat out changes his mind on his own, he can bolt.
No one could want to be associated with IU right now. I don't know but it feels like Blackmon made a very spur of the moment decision to stay near home. Wouldn't be surprised if he regrets it.

Ouch. Big loss for Tom Crean. I feel bad for him.
...oh wait. No I don't.
you remember that little flare up in Ann Arbor on Jeff Meyere (iirc)
March 24th, 2014 at 10:46 AM ^
Could he possibly be any more unproffessional?
I don't doubt it with Crean.
March 24th, 2014 at 12:32 AM ^
I hate Crean, but he has some talent piling up. Losing Vonleh makes me feel better about facing them next year. Yogi, Williams, Robinson, and Davis all look like they are good or will be good.
Yogi is gone as well
March 24th, 2014 at 10:47 AM ^
Nahh I doubt he leaves for the NBA yet. He is around for at least one more year.
March 24th, 2014 at 12:42 AM ^
We can be happy about leaving early!
Gary Harris, do you have something you'd like to share?
Nik, Glenn, Mitch, sit down, no one was talking to you guys!
Go Blue!
Openly rooting for players to stay (especially Stauskas, who probably should leave) has always creeped me out a little.
March 24th, 2014 at 12:46 AM ^
Thanks a lot, Jeff Meyer.

OSU has a class coming in that should make them fairly scary - Indiana isn't nearly as concerning (especially with Crean)
They're also likely to lose top scorer LaQuinton Ross, along with Craft and Smith. That's alot of experience and points to lose off your starting 5.
Not to mention De La Valle.
I'm not sure that's really a loss
just not in a basketball way.
I'll miss the pasta jokes from Bill Raftery.
I salute you, Amedeo Della Valle.
And Della Valle.
Yogi should join him in Europe.
They have a good class, but like many have said - they've got no PG. They'll have good young with players for sure, but who is going to bring the ball up? Who is going to guard Walton?
Shannon Scott? I'm going to assume you had a brain fart.
Well he is just another one trying to destroy the Indiana BB program
I would advise McGary, Nic and GRIII to take a pass this year, and go out in 2015 when the talent level will be less deep.
Who's with me?
Brilliant Sir

At least he got an NIT participant ring.. oh wait..
are tiring of Crean. Great recruiter, lousy game prep and in game coaching. They are still upset over the dismal showing against Syracuse last year. Thought they had a National Championship caliber team.
Mandatory. Also soph Jeremy Hollowell and R soph Austin Etherington are transferring. So Tom, now 7 of your 10 upperclassmen are graduating or transferring from Indiana. Your thoughts?
