At NEB, however, he’s got a tougher job than Lindsay Lohan’s public relations agent.

Didn’t mean to imply that you and Calbert were hating on the kid. Neither of you do those kind of posts. My reference to “hating” was more general, as there were some nasty posts about the young man back when…

I vaguely remember Lyle saying that CTC told him “somethings I didn’t want to hear, but needed to hear,” (paraphrased). Maybe he was, as IUMike said, doing some damage control with that comment and really didn’t care for CTC being that upfront with him. Maybe it wasn’t an ego issue at all, but rather CTC trying to test his reaction. Whether the perception is accurate or not, the perception is that Lyle has an ego (side note: hard to fault a 17 year old for having an ego when he is that good, but still…). Truthfully, we will never know.

I’m not “hating” on him, and I would have liked to have had him, but I think the importance of his singular recruitment to IU is slightly overblown. He is very good, but not so good that we are doomed to mediocrity without him.

First off, I didn’t say I hated this kid, all I said was that I had wanted him but that he obviously has several other schools that he would rather play at so IMO he wasn’t a good fit for us, Also just meant I’m over wishing we had gotten him and that it wasn’t going to bother me where he ended up at regardless of where it was, although it does bother me to some extent anytime a high caliber Indiana bball player turns pUKe blue. I do believe what I said about why he publicly stated that he had talked to Crean tho. Secondly, I didn’t ” imagine ” anything and I didn’t even mention anything about Crean’s ego. I see Crean as being someone that rarely, if ever, lets his ego be a factor and I don’t see this as being one of those rare occasions. What I meant was, whatever was said, it just would have been interesting to know what it was.

Alexander and Lyle are both apparently headed as a “package” to KU.

Don’t know why everyone hates this kid. I think a coach like Tom Crean and a program such as IU’s are exactly what this young man needs to turn his life around.

And I honestly doubt that Tom Crean’s ego “told him anything” like you imagined.

Honestly, I wish we could get the kid. Yogi’s gone in two years. He can play off the ball nicely for one year. And I truly believe that we could turn the kid’s life around.

Lyle indicated that there was one team that he would have a really hard time turning down. ” That would be Kansas, I really like them a lot “. Guess it wasn’t hard for him to begin with so why should it be hard now.

I really wanted this guy early on, and he seemed to say all the right things till right up towards the end but, I have gotten over that want and, I know I know, he is a Indiana kid and a really good one etc etc., but he doesn’t want to be at IU so as far as I’m concerned he is not a good fit for us. He may have publicly stated that he has been in contact with Crean ( liked to have been a fly on the wall and heard what Crean told him ) but that’s, in my opinion, him doing image damage control and him trying to provide himself with a worst case scenario back up plan. I for one, couldn’t care less if he goes somewhere else now.

Now back to the Cornhuskers.

The CSU team that took down Missouri in the NCAAs last year was full of players he recruited – loved his passion and energy while he was coaching the Rams. With the upgrades Nebraska is making for the bball program, I can see him making the Huskers competitive in the BIG, certainly capable of upsetting the upper echelon (hopefully the Hoosiers can take care of business when I go to to the game in Lincoln this year though).

I remember them talking about it on TV two years ago when we played, but I can’t seem to find it.

Kind of person you want to root for (when not playing IU).
