Guys, let's just put an asterisk next to Baylor when we talk about great rebuilding efforts.

Also we can probably split this convo up.  Not that the Jermaine thread would be getting much action anyway since he popped for Cincy.  But I won't hammer my point home anymore.  I strongly feel that Lav had it easier than Crean.  That's my two cents.

Completely off topic but did you guys know Crean is married to the Harbaugh brothers' sister?
Tough week for that family, his two brothers-in-law just played against each other in the Super Bowl, and his team is ranked #1 again in college basketball.

I can see both sides to this one.   On the one hand, Crean inherited 2 walkons, that's it.  And all the defections/transfers were well after recruiting season had ended.   Lavin had a team of seniors coming back, and a year and half to recruit the next year's class.     In that sense, I think Moose is right - it was a pretty awful situation in '07-'08 in Indiana.

But, with that said; when Indiana missed the tourny those last two years of the Mike Davis era, '04 and '05... that was the first time they hadn't gone dancing since 1985.    Think about that.  Plus as bad as they were in the post-Knight era,  Davis did take them to a championship game in '02.    Throw in the facilities they have, or have built recently, and it's pretty easy to get an Indiana program back on it's feet.   It's more of a challenge at SJU.   

Crean inherited a worse situation initially, but he had resources that made a quick return to prominence much easier I think.

 No need to beat this thing to death.

 If you see zero parallels between the Indiana situation w/ Crean and ours w/ Lavin, so be it.

 Initial point was: 2 historic programs in the dumper,  both hire a big time coach to revitalize.

 Crean struggles first 3 years ( 20 + losses each season), now,  5 years in has No.1 team in country.

 Lavin- now 2 1/2 years in.  Because things aren't perfect now, doesn't mean that it won't work ( see Crean above).  BTW, things are much better here than they were at IU 2 1/2 years in...

 Patience Patience Patience.   If you don't have patience...well, that sucks for you.

 If you want to not be a cheerleader and focus on everything that is wrong, that is your deal.  Enjoy.   I'll continue to be positive because I think the future is bright.

Curse?  Oh you mean cause it was the kids first game back after a significant injury? Or is it that since he didn't sign with Lavin the kid sucks?

Unless you point out every single negative and harp on it, you're a cheerleader.

So be it.  I couldn't care less.

Sadly, that's what it's come to around here.

We all want Lavin to do well, my post was more about the "no big deal" response from posters when coach has lost every recruit he has gone after this year.  At this point, if and when he does bring in a recruit it will be a fall back option. Yet I am sure that whoever it is, the cheerleaders will once again tout them as the greatest thing since sliced bread. ( remember C. Johnes?) How can you look at this team, with our lack of front court bulk and the possibility of losing Sampson and not be concerned about next years personnel?  As a true fan, shouldnt you be?

Next year's team will be better than this year's team.

“@NYPost_Brazille: Cincinnati commit Jermaine Lawrence will sit out the rest if the season per his physician. He injured his wrist on Saturday ...”

That's too bad. He can use some of that Bearcat cash to buy himself a present. Maybe that would cheer him up?

Maybe Mick Cronin can get him some deer antler extract. Should also be available in hunting stores in Sussex County.

I am curious - why is it that a kid signs with another program and he is on the take..? I am not saying you are wrong here but are the fans of the other programs wrong when they say tyhe same exact thing about St. John's when they sign a player.
