    Coach Knight at the IUBB reunion

    He’s now been to this, the men’s game, a women’s bball game, and an IU baseball game.

    SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey announces games will not be rescheduled this fall due to COVID. It is up to teams to get vaccinated. If they don't have enough, they may have to forfeit. Six of 14 SEC teams have reached the 80% vaccination threshold, he said. The reaction from Assembly Call -- Look for the Big Ten to release a similar announcement soon, with two caveats: • Ohio State opponents who have positive tests will indeed forfeit. • If OSU has a positive test, game is postponed until they are at full strength. If no makeup date can be found, OSU gets the W.

    2021 AAU Season

    Final numbers for the EYBL which was technically not the Peach Jam although I referred to it as such. This past weekend was considered the regular season with teams broken down into 4 divisions. The top 5 in each division plus some wild cards advance to the actual Peach Jam tournament to be held July 20-25. ESPNU will broadcast semifinals and finals for both boys and girls on July 24 and 25. The full schedule will be released later today. It will be interesting to see if Emoni Bates and Bates Fundamentals are given a wild card exemption as the team's record was a poor 2-6. Not sure what happend with Jeremy Fears. I never saw anything to indicate he suffered an injury. Since he's a '23 and was playing 'up' to start with, it's possible he moved back down to the 16U team for the majority of his games. Avery Brown '22 (G) - PSA Cardinals Has IU Offer Date W/L Pts.

    I agree. His injury this summer is unfortunate as he seemed more focused on finding offense. It would have been great to see the results for the full AAU play. I have seen him play twice and honestly had to try and find him on the court as he just was not notable enough to remember if you weren’t actively watching for him Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    University of No Classes did the same thing with Jalen Washington and got his commitment within days. I hate that any school has to do that to land a recruit but that's the way the game is played today. I can understand why some coaches have commented they intend to do the bulk of their future recruiting out of the transfer portal. In his morning game today at Peach Jam 6-foot-5 Class of 2022 combo-guard Jalen Hood-Schifino was a smooth operator in the mid-range this morning. He finished with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists while shooting 8-of-19 from the field and 9-of-12 from the free-throw line.

    It shows the recruit that he is a top priority for the staff. There are not too many live periods and a program using all 4 coaches at a single event for a player sends a message to him and his family any anyone else involved in their recruitment that they are important. Doesn’t guarantee anything but it’s definitely a move used by many staffs

    I like the strategy on JHS, too, which appears to be to push the cards in. If you miss, as @Stuhoo always says, it’s who you get, not who you don’t. If he’s your guy, though, leave it all out there in the attempt to land him.

    Picked up 3 for the Cincy game. The drive to Indy is about 10-11 hrs! An add’l 2 hrs likely on game day. My son is stoked! GO HOOSIERS!!!!!!

    And tonight Maher assists on a 95th minute equalizer with an incredible ball into the box. He’s getting a lot of praise from the manager in the postgame interview as well.

    I hate Wisconsin, can’t stand that program or its fans — but gotta agree, the locker room is off limits, that’s the team’s place and all locker room talk should stay there (barring illegality or something like that)

    I used to tell people all the time that I'm fully aware of where we stand in the world of college football. A stepping stone program. That we needed probably a decade or more of sustained success before a coach wanted to stick around for a while. Living here in Nashville, I remember laughing at Vandy fans who thought they could keep Franklin. Now I'm in that same boat, mostly b/c I simply just can't believe the how incredible the culture of the program is right now. One thing that might work in our favor is if other programs look at this being year #4 for Allen, where he didn't even make a bowl game in years 1 and 2. Places like Texas may not be smart enough to make a long term hire (not necessarily saying Coach Allen couldn't make an immediate impact). Regardless, we have to pay the man. Pay the man his money. EDIT: This is not a know it all statement. When I say I used to tell people all the time, I don't mean IU fans. I mean, I've lived in SEC country for 14 years now. I used to tell anybody who would listen to me saying that IU football could actually be good some day.
