Let him continue to work on his game. Send the message that we are not too big , too pompous to let a guy who committed 2 years to our program work to improve himself. Amazing how the little things sometimes become big things to someone who is evaluating the culture of different programs I definitely didn’t mean to sound like Lander should be shunned and banned from all facilities. I was mostly just curious as an outsider what the procedure would be in a similar situation to his just from a logistics standpoint. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how the little things sometimes become big things to someone who is evaluating the culture of different programs I’m indifferent on this. I can see both sides. if a coach were leaving it would be a day to clean out the office. You wouldn’t give them more time and let them work (recruit, etc.) I agree it’s a bad look. How many people would know about it outside of this board and the IU program? is there any liability concerns? If he were to get a career ending injury would he still fall under IU’s insurance? all that are my initial thoughts/questions. but currently I am mostly for letting him use the gym.

I know you say that in jest, but OMW...could you imagine how entertaining that could be pairing his speed with Crean's offense? I'm not saying it would or wouldn't be great basketball, but that would be a match built for speed. Now that USI is moving up to D1, make it happen!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaHoosierFan Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I highly doubt he goes to Evansville. He will end up at a power 5 school. He has some skills. I hope he freaking kills it somewhere by his Sr year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxnJxn Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Not surprising, and I think Lander has some skills that can't be taught - quickness and court vision, for example - but he's stuck in a situation where he's going to have trouble getting on the court, especially if XJ returns. As for his size, Trent Frazier is the same height and 10 pounds lighter, so it's not like that size can't make it at a P5. At any rate, wish him the best - from what I saw, he handled the situation with class and respect for the most part. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IUwins0708 Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Most importantly for me with KL is he excelled in the classroom. He’s setting himself up for life after basketball regardless when that is. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergates Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) He just needs to pick a place where the path to playing time is there and the team is more offensively focused Edited March 24, 2022 by cybergates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuthruandthru Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Does Crean still own his mansion in Btown? It was a pretty lavish and pricy piece of land that I thought was struggling to sell. He could move back here and commute to Evansville via I-69 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel team I used to coach. Great area down there. I do think KL could be a solid contributor at a MAC school. Maybe a WKU? That isn't too far from home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ba43056 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 This will be interesting to watch progress. I think he's going to still have a very good college basketball career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 If I was Miller I would reach out to Lander. I would also be a short stack. 😳 Anyway, Evansville seems like the perfect fit. Truly disappointed that it did not work out at IU where he wanted so badly to make his mark. Lander, Leal and Galloway was a trio I was hoping to see flourish into their senior year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
