    He's been quoted as saying that. I've read it from multiple sources on www.kentuckyink.com.

    Hmmm... not heard that one before.

    Anyway, if he's good enough to go after one year, I'd still like to have him for that one year.

    See: Carmelo, Eric Gordon, Kevin Durant, and the Ohio State freshmen from last year

    He's good enough to be a "one and done" player but he still isn't good enough to play for Billy Clyde.

    Well. If he's a real cancer, I don't want him around.

    But most guys who are actually good enough to go to the NBA after one year are not cancerous.

    I don't think any of the players you named above were cancerous.

    Surely Hopson will be one of those guys.

    You must read the UK message boards.

    They're even more reactionary than us here at RedsZone.

    BTW, reading some more about Hopson, I found this gem:

    Asked why he committed to Tennessee, Hopson replied with a question of his own.

    "Why not?" he said. "Tennessee has big tradition here."
    Fellas, that's what 18-19 year old kids think about tradition.

    Crean on style of play

    Crean opened up on what style of play IU fans can expect.

    Offensively, he borrows from mentor Tom Izzo. Crean was an assistant for Izzo’s Michigan State teams for four years.

    “I would like to see us be able to have an outstanding fast break, a team that runs not only on misses, but makes,” Crean said. “That was something that being with Tom Izzo at the years at Michigan State, that’s something they do an outstanding job of and something I took from him.

    “We’re a team that’s going to get up and down the floor, drive in space, do our best to get the ball inside-out, score points in the lane. Some of our best post-up players at Marquette have been our guards.”

    Defensively, he stressed an aggressive approach.

    “Defensive end, we are going to guard the three, I want to have an outstanding half-court defense,” he said. “There is room to pick up full-court. You have to have guys who are going to make great decisions, guys who can execute under pressure and rebound.

    As a Marquette alumnus, I must say that I'm none too happy. I'm tired of coaches deserting smaller programs on the promise of quasi-glory at Big Ten schools (see Thad Matta).

    Indiana is in a different league as far as tradition. Indiana, regardless of infraction, is one of the top jobs in the nation. This is a move up for Crean.
