"Before you build a team, you need to develop a family,'' Crean said in a statement from the university today. "We will go through the learning process, feel some growing pains and experience some bumps in the road along the way. We need the Hoosier Nation to rally around this program as we go through these stages.''

Kentucky Derby picks are in
From handicapper Dan Cronin.....
*My picks all got good posts. My top selection is Colonel John. He will get a solid stalking trip from the 10 hole, he has everything you want in a horse and the numbers to back it up.
*My 2nd selection is Z Fortune, I think he is getting good at the right time and he will run all day. His 102 number leading up to the derby puts him right there.
*My 3rd selection is Pyro, I know the stats are against him running so bad but he still has a 105 routing and he will be running late.
*4th is my sleeper Bob Black Jack I really think the post helped him. The 13 hole and only speed with a decent post will bank the turn and get to the half in 47 in front. Remember this horse is wearing a small blinker for the first time but not a full blinker. This will focus him but not cause a run off. This horse has never had a chance to use his speed on dirt. He reminds me of Congaree. He will be in front when they turn for the money. If you don't have him on tickets you will be sorry at 30-1.
*My super will include the horses from 1-10 and Dennis of Cork only cause Borel will drop him back and to the rail where the dumb trainer should have chosen anyway instead of 16. Remember longshots that hit the board are most of the time in the 1-10 hole. Tale of ekati,, court vision, Visionaire all have a chance to hit the board.
Anak Akal has a small shot so you might as well just take all 1-10 Adriano and Dennis. The ticket would go 10 with 6,9,13 with 6,9,13 with 1-10,13,14,15,16 1*3*2*11 = $66 then reverse them and twirl around.
If you move them all around and spend about $240 you could hit a monster.
The tri I will be 10 with 6,9,13 with 1-10,13,14,15,16 is 3*12 and $36. Twirl them around put bombs on top etc etc.
*Big Brown may beat me but I will list all the reason once again: 20 hole is 2 for 133 from 17-20 post is 3 for 399 2 starts this yr 1 for 25 yrs 5 week layoff 1 for 25 yrs 3 starts life no one since 1915 has won like that only beat 1 horse in derby field speed horse only ran on dirt 2 times and 1 was off turf race against nobody bad feet 2-1 at post trainer running his mouth the look Pletcher gave him after picking 20 hole Has not faced the Colonel or Pyro or Z Fortune or Bob Black Jack or anyone except Smooth Air.
*I will always say numbers don't lie, just like 3 pt % in basketball, Z Fortune, Pyro, Colonel John are all fast enough.
*Now 2 other wise guy horses Court Vision and Smooth Air, I would only use Court vision cause of post,. he is not fast enough to win. No one is 133 running has ever won the derby with only a 90 speed figure. NO ONE. Smooth Air has been sick all week and almost scratched, he missed a work and is stuck outside, no thank you.
*The undercard Woodford reserve turf take longshots race is too tough Humana Distaff Intangaroo churchill distaff Ventura
*Ky Oaks I like an exacta box of Country star, Eight bells, Pure Clan
*Oaks derby double take those 3 and then 4 in derby Colonel John, Pyro, Z Fortune, Bob Black Jack Double could pay real nice.
