Who cares? This kid is one year and done anyway.

hes going into the draft,it doesnt hurt him that bad

That wrist injury has nothing at all to do with a declining shooting percentage, it's all attributable to Sampson?

Excuse me, I have a call coming in.

DIdn't they know this when he arrived at IU?

why should Indiana be exempt from the media-hyped 'one and done' movement from college to NBA? college athletes, especially those receiving scholarships, should be required to sign contracts specifying academic effort and graduation. let the NBA and NFL operate their own minor league systems, like baseball does.

If he didn't want to be around a crooked coach who was just asking to be canned, he should have stuck to his commitment to play at Illinois

He backed out of his committment to Illinois, then he is so devastated by his coach's poor ethics that he can't shoot straight?? Give me a break. He was on his way to the NBA anyway.

Scranton:

So, who was it?

Gordon will SUFFER in the Association

It was him. I tried telling him that while I have eligibility, I'm almost 40 and way out of shape. He apologized and said he's trying to get help.

y hang around non sense, this is YOUR PROBLEM INDIANA! Im out!

He should have remained committed to Illinois, just as I have remained committed to my husband!

Good one, Billary!

Your husband should be committed.

Chi Bo your comment is typical of Illinois fans. Gordon changed his mind get over it. How was the NIT? Oh, yeah you didnt get an invite.

This is called Just Desserts.......getting what you deserve, whatever you want to call it. Indiana got what it deserved for hiring an unethical sleazeball that they knew had issues....and Gordon got what he deserved for bailing on Illinois and committing to play for a loser like Sampson.

HoosiersFan - IU fans would be the loudest complainers if someone had done the same thing to them......why would you defend reprehesible actions like what Sampson did, just because it benefited Indiana. Oh, and I'll put Illinois record this decade up against Indiana's anytime, even if we had a down year.

FInally, the best part of the tournament so far was seeing Gordon go 3-15 and watching IU get bounced out in the first round by a mediocre Arkansas team.

How many basketball titles does Illinois have?

I assume that is addressed to me, and the answer is of course, zero. I wasn't making a comparison between the programs, I was just pointing out that Illinois has been more successful than Indiana during this decade, and my primary point stil is that Indiana got what they deserved by hiring a sleazeball like Kelvin Sampson in the first place. You hire somebody with that many red flags and doubts about his ethics and integrity......you deserve to get burned the way Indiana did.
