Things going downhill fast at Northwestern.  Been in a freefall ever since they made the dance.  In the seven days since the season ended, three players (Ash, Falzon, and Benson) have announced they are transferring.  Will be eligible immediately as grad transfers.  Ash was their team captain this year.

None of three are particularly good but would have likely be in the mix for decent minutes this season (particularly Benson).  With graduating seniors and transfers, they will be returning about 30% of their scoring next year.

Falzon kept us out of the tournament (among many other things), that hurts to think about

NCAA must be starting to actually sniff around the pUKe program so it's time for Calipari's normal exit stage right.

He said last night on Twitter that those rumors are false. He will be at UK next year. Now that some of teams seasons ending last night we might hear of some other kids transferring that we might have interest in. Some Indiana kids but we'll see

Someone took the Bradley basketball feud with their beat reporter and put it in a Star Wars scroll:

I don't think so. I really don't know just heard a rumor. But I have read on other boards of people saying a good transfer is coming.

Not that this means anything, but it popped up on my twitter timeline that Derek Elston liked his tweet. Take it for what it means. Just random he is interacting with him. Also, De'Ron had some nasty stuff that he has liked before..lol

They should be able to make it to the second weekend without him. However, if he is out for the tournament that is huge. Can't seem them in the Final Four without him.

Okay so say Jaylen Fisher did come to Indiana... who would start at PG?

Yes, it's only a rumor and I know it would only be for a year, but Fischer seems awfully injury prone.  He's only been able to play in 26 games over the past 2 seasons.  Plus, I thought he was a PG so if this happens, is he coming in strictly to provide Rob with relief minutes?  Again, if it's true, does this imply Devonte is leaving?   Questions, questions, questions.

For next year?

Desmond Bane > Keion Brooks 

and that’s not a close call
