Ben Stinar‏ @BenStinar Can confirm per source: former IU star Robert Johnson will sign with the Milwaukee Bucks for training camp. [Stinar is an NBA writer and reporter]

That’s ridiculous. Whether one is likely to get caught or punished is not justification for cheating.

Can't blame the guy for pursuing top talent, but you're in Southern California and you're coming to the Midwest for players? Come on, if you can't find talent in California you aren't gonna succeed at UCLA. Which is exactly what results have indicated so far.

Definitely true. At the same time it would be nice to take care of home and start dropping the moral victories. If we carry momentum over we should be 4-0 then 5-0 before the gauntlet. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Week 1 comes down to the MNF game for two posters, mamasa (16 points) and WayneFleek (15 points)! mamasa has Chicago and WayneFleek has Seattle. The points each week will be tallied for an overall record at the end of the season. I've been messing around with the excel spreadsheet used to track this so if you feel like your score is incorrect please let me know. Also, everyone got a point for the Minny vs. Green Bay game. The results are as follows (without the MNF game): biteoftheapple (10) HoosierAloha (10) rcs29 (11) LIHoosier (11) Old Fart (12) johnsoniu (12) Josh (12) thebigweave (12) LamarCheeks (13) Naturalhoosier (13) WayneFleek (15) mamasa (16) I'll be posting Week 2 games for both college and NFL tomorrow. If you have any matchups you'd like to see used for next week, please feel free to post them here.

Another visit. @madd1escherr: Had a great visit at IU the other day! Thank you to @TeriMoren & the rest of the staff for having me! @IndianaWBB

IU opens as a 4.5 point dog.

Makes me sick. Their fans are still moaning about the vacated title.The only thing worse is the Chapel Hill farce.

Arizona is landing five stars again. Lesson learned is fbi scandals mean nothing. Same as it ever was. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

They're just finding new ways of getting money to the kids and families. It's been that way for ages and will continue to be that way. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I know the FBI is involved in the legal aspect of things but when the organization (NCAA) handing out penalties is corrupt to the very core the should really be no expectation of change.

U6 now has a 4 star SG and SF that is someplaces listed as SG. Wonder how hard they are after Ramsey. Or was this recent one a conditional after Ramsey said no?

The Bears can't seem to realize that Jordan Howard is by far the best player on that offense.

Well darn! But this isn’t much of a surprise Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He was top 5 in yards per attempt last season. Far bigger issue would be if Gordon can stay sober, he hasn't played a full season in 5 years because of that.

Once i got this i laughed way to hard. [emoji3] Sent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile app

I'd argue that at 4-0 it's not really "hype" any longer, but results. This isn't must-win, but boy it makes the path to a truly break-out season pretty simple.

Not worried. Tommy has to be willing to throw vertically. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This is a very important game for our bowl hopes. Before the season, I thought this would be reallly tough. I have watched MSU and come away fairly unimpressed given the expectations that came with them. In other words, it's going to be very winnable. That coupled with the fact that we get arguably one of the worst two teams in the conference next week (Rutgers), who lost against another miserable team Kansas by a lot and we could be starting off 5-0. That would be incredibly exciting and the level of optimism about the program and outlook on the season would soar.

Zagoria - Indiana and Maryland were at @VTAcademyHoops today for 2020 City Rocks Point Guard @EGB_ST4 Symir Torrence.

Very refreshing to see that he has a set timeline. List cut by September to 5. Officials in October. Decision in November. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Archie with an in-home set for Wednesday along with Arizona, Kansas St. and O$U also with in-homes this week. http://www.zagsblog.com/2018/09/17/2019-big-man-zeke-nnaji-has-big-week-of-home-visits/

Just win baby! If Ramsey throws for 100 yards with an average of 3 yards per attempt while IU wins I couldn't care less. We just need him to not turn it over and be a dual threat. I do think Penix has more zip on his passes and will be able to get it downfield better in the future.

Except Dakich is right. Dakich knows more about basketball than Parrish could dream about knowing. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I don't know why Iugradman gets so much pushback on the things he says. In the vast majority of situations there isn't one specific reason why a recruit picks a school. It's usually a combination of things. So no, things like Hoosier hysteria being boring, the locker rooms looking crappy, or the dreaded 'drop ceilings' aren't the specific reasons why a recruit doesn't pick us, but they're all factors that go into the decision. Players want good coaching, they want good facilities, they want a good culture that they fit with. Him wanting IU to improve on things is just him realizing that the more variables in IU's favor, the better.
