We're all going to feel really bad when we find out Tom Crean was sent back in time to save humanity in some kind of Terminator scenario.

Cold—Crean did land the Hoosiers a four-star center on Saturday in Huntington, W. Va., prospect Thomas Bryant. VCU, of course, is looking to replace head coach Shaka Smart, who turned down a reported $1 million raise from the Rams to instead coach Texas.
