Best Quote from JH's Press Conference

Print“We all know that I’m going to go after Gary Harris pretty hard. He knows that. We’re good friends. I think if we get him we’ll really be something special. He knows I’m going to come after him hard. We’ve been talking about it but it’s still his decision and I’ll leave it up to him but I want to get my two cents in and hope he makes the best decision.”
It's encouraging to see so many guys we've recruited joining in the recruiting themselves. No matter what Crean, the assistant coaches, or even a recruit's parents have to say they're always going to respond the most to their peers. I feel like we're going to have consistent talent in the pipeline for a very long time.

Agree completely
I think that Etherington has been the best recruiter for the program over the last 18 months. I agree that it speaks well of the program and the university that the players — who have yet to even enroll — are so geeked about it. It’s helping me to forget the bitter taste of the past three seasons.

Well it doesn't hurt that IU is such an easy sell.
The city, campus, fans, awesomeness that is Assembly Hall, history, hotness of girls, and immediate celebrity status all make coming to IU a no-brainer decision. In any scenerio where a recruit is choosing between us and other in-state schools I’m always pretty confident. If they’re choosing between us and, let’s say, Duke or pretty much any school by the coast I get a little worried.

hotness of girls
People who’ve never been have no idea…it’s otherworldly.

Come visit The Fantasy Ninjas. We'd love to hear from you.
Kinda gives one a false expectation for the real world, however.
You get outta college and expect 80% of all 20-something yr old girls to be blazing hot and then….that turns out not to be the case. Sad face. Shoulda locked down a dumb/hot sorority girl when I had the chance.

You should have just partied a couple times in West Lafayette
That would’ve lowered your expectations quite a bit…

Ahhh, touche.
I did go up there for the Oaken Bucket this past year. It wasn’t TOO bad. The little street they have with the vast majority of the bars on it wasn’t much to look at, but it was functional. They have one bar called ‘That Place’ or something that was clean and really big. The rest of the bars kind of smelled like BO.
I was highly disappointed with Harry’s Chocalate Shop and still don’t see it’s appeal. Even though it’s 2 stories it’s incredibly small. I chuckle a bit now when Purdue has a big win and they all say, “Everybody meet at Harry’s!” because they have so few real fans that they can all fit into such a tiny excuse for a bar. Like I’m sure all 11 fans met there after it was announced that Painter was staying. Woo. What a party.
Breakfast Club is a good idea and a lot of people come out for it; it’d just be better if they all showered first. Predictably all the hottest girls were IU fans who made the trip up. Overall I’d rank it higher than Ball State, Indiana State, USI, and Notre Dame, but nowhere close to IU or Tennessee (I’ve had some great times there).

Dude
Tennessee is where it’s at! Not even just Knoxville, but the whole state. Hot girls at Vandy and Memphis, that I’ve…um…noticed.
As for WLA, eh, I had two buddies who were both frat boys up there, and my brother spent a summer semester up there because PU contracted him to do some IT work for them, so I got a little bit of the town flavor over the course of my college days. I wouldn’t rank them over BSU, mainly because I spent a ton of time up there too, and their girls may be, overall, average-looking, but they know how to party. Never spent much time at ND, and ISU is located in a town that smells like burning hair, so they have that to contend with. The main problem with PU, I’ve noticed, and I guess it’s two-fold is:
A. It seems like it’s mainly dudes up there
and
B. It seems like there’s just hellified smart people. Guys and girls. The more smart, responsible people (who care about homework, and staying on dean’s lists and whatnot) you have, the less likely you are to convince someone to take their clothes off for you and your drunk roommates. It’s just the way of life. Nothing against them as a school, I guess. Besides the lack of hotness and the abundance of brown, brick, Neo-Soviet buildings, I guess it’s a legit place to say you graduated from. I’m just glad I didn’t. I have too much to live for to waste 4+ years of my life in such a boring sh!t hole.

Preach.
I know it’s not any place to be ashamed to say you graduated from, but like you said it’s not the most exciting place to spend 4 years. Also, for every overly smart person I know who went there and is now an engineer who makes 6 figures I probably know 5 people who are tending bar or working at an IT help desk making 30k. While aside from a few Ed majors everyone I graduted with at IU is now a doctor, lawyer, nurse, or business person making at least 60k. Their whole schtick about them all being rich and us living in trailer parks is so far from the truth it’s ridiculous. I would think if they WERE rich enough of them would donate to their athletic programs so that their coaches wouldn’t have to play chicken with their AD in order to get paid.
Yes, Tennessee girls are ridiculous. Possibly hotter than IU girls. Their accent even bumps them up a point. If my job wanted to tranfer me to Nashville I wouldn’t be upset.
