I don’t see him taking a developmental role — he averaging 19 mpg, 7.7 pts and 6 reb at VCU as a sophomore. -

My goodness Toibu Lawal would be so much fun to watch. He could electrify the Assembly Hall crowd. Bring him in the developmental role and sign Nikita or Baye Fall to back up Ballo. -

He visits tomorrow, so think it's just a matter of time before it's official. -

Tobi Lawal from VCU still intrigues the hell out of me. Godlike bounce. He's a 4 and not a traditional center -- not going to body up against 5's as he's a slender 6'8" but definitely is a rim protector and plus rebounder. Hate to keep harping on the kid -- I shared a highlight video of him in the general transfer portal thread. Below is a different one -- it's from high school and it's mostly dunks and blocks. But check out the dunk at about the 5 second mark and see if it doesn't remind you of a very famous missed dunk (except Lawal makes it). -
Yeah, he's been all over the place. IIRC, he moved around in HS a lot too. Get the "one foot out the door" vibe from him. I'm not upset that Miller missed on him.

The funny thing is, I don't even eat loaded chicken sandwiches LOL.

Miami, Louisville, then U Mass. hit the portal this year and committed somewhere — don’t recall where — then devommitted when the coach left.

There is a southern Illinois sports page I follow on FB, Area Sports net. They are reporting Goode has committed. I have seen it no where else, so I can't verify it Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk -
Matt Cross is going to visit Iowa and Wisconsin so he may actually end up in the B1G. I remember how much Miller wanted him.

The highlight of the day was Josh Pyne getting his 200th career hit becoming just the 24th player to do so and the first since 2018. The low light of the day was exactly that. Ball State does not have a lighted field and the game was called due to darkness after 12 innings tied at 7-7. There was another low light and that's the fact that once again we put ourselves in an early hole and had to play from behind. Phillips started, faced 7 batters, gave up 4 hits (3 doubles) and 3 runs. From that point we used 10 more pitchers who collectively gave up 14 hits. After scoring 3 in the 1st, BSU added a run in the 3rd, 2 in the 5th and 1 in the 7th. We finally got on the board with a single run in the 4th, scored 3 in the 8th and tied the game at 7-7 with 3 more in our 9th. Neither team scored after that. We had 12 hits led by Cerny with 3 and 4 separate batters with 2 apiece. Brenczewski, Stadler & Mitchell each had 2-RBI. This weekend we host Rutgers (24-16) (3-9)

Obviously just my personal opinion. Yes, maybe a bit chippy, but that’s not the end of the world. My perception was more just how well he can he fit into a full team chemistry. Is he an overall add, or an overall subtract. -

Heartfelt wishes to you and yours. You are not alone. We are a great community of people with bumps on the road for all of us. We are all staring in the face of health issues. And I am not the most sensitive person in the world to express sympathy. So, instead of wishing you well (which I definitely do), I will say: I am so saddened that you and yours are going through this. I would really like to help. Can I make you a loaded chicken sandwich or something?

Never seen a second of him, but a friend coaches 15U for Bradley Beal Elite and coached Mitchell, who played up last year. Loves, loves, LOVES him. Apparently right now he’s something like 6’7”, but Terry thinks he has a chance to end up as a 6’9” primary facilitator. His vision and instincts are that good. -

IUBB Recruit Rankings
Demo replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
ESPN doesn’t get nearly as in the weeds with the kids who aren’t at the factories or playing all the big camp events as some of the specialty sites. So they tend to really lag on some kids. Keep this rating as a baseline and then look at where they have kids like Sisley and Mullins in July. The rating on Moreno is so bad it almost looks like trolling. -
Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way LCS! Stay strong and bounce back even better than before.

I brought up Coleman-Jones (Coleman-Lands to his friends) because I thought he might be versatile enough to play with Ballo as well as back him up. A stretch 4 with the length and strength to defend the rim could get more than 15 minutes a game backing up two positions and allow IU to bring in a more talented player. Those who are wary of playing two "bigs" at the same time should be wary of Ballo breaking his foot in the second game of the season and having to start a guy who was just hoping to find a school to offer him 10 or 15 minutes a game. Losing Ware for just two games in the middle of the season probably cost IU the Illinois game and MSU's invite to the NCAA tournament. The alternative would be starting Reneau with only five fouls to go up against Steven Crowl, Danny Wolf, Aaron Bradshaw, Nathan Bittle, Matthew Nicholson and three or four other seven-footers in the Big Ten ranks. Not all of them will be world beaters but using up his fouls trying to push these guys away from the lane will put him on the bench. What happens if Reneau gets injured? Don't get me wrong, I do like the idea of putting Mgbako at the 4 situationally to exploit match ups. However, until he shows he can guard a big forward in the B1G consistently I don't like the thought of the Hoosiers being one injury away from him getting all of his minutes there. All of that being said, I like your wish casting concerning Baye Fall, Demo. I don't know anything about the kid's situation or character but there's a lot to like there. -
