  2. http://www.insidethehall.com/2013/10/14/tyus-battle-enjoys-competition-usa-basketball-camp/ One of Indiana’s top recruiting priorities in the class of 2016, Gill St. Bernard’s School (N.J.) guard Tyus Battle, was among the elite players who participated at the USA Basketball developmental national team mini-camp in Colorado Springs, Colorado on Oct. 5-6. It’s been a busy fall for Battle already as he’s taken unofficial visits to Indiana and Ohio State, two schools that have both extended scholarship offers. The trip to Bloomington in late August was the second for the No. 11 prospect in the 247Composite, who also took in Indiana’s win over Michigan last February at Assembly Hall. “I really liked the trip. I got to meet the coaches and spend time with them,” Battle said. “Went to the football game. They’re all great guys and I love the unity there.” Over the summer, Battle said that Indiana was one of the schools recruiting him the hardest, which he says is still the case. With his recruitment still at an early stage, two things stand out about the Hoosiers. “Just the atmosphere and the way they develop the players,” he said. As a freshman at Gill St. Bernard’s, Battle averaged 11.6 points per game playing alongside Seton Hall signee Jaren Sina in the backcourt. With Sina’s departure, along with Chris Jenkins (Hofstra) and Austin Colbert (Illinois), he’ll shoulder a bigger load as a sophomore. “My leadership and just being aggressive the entire game,” Battle said when asked for the keys to stepping up in his second high school season.

    (2014) QB Alexander Diamont

    Here's an older article from Oct. 3,but i wanted to post it. Alexander Diamont, an Indiana commit out of Venice High School in Los Angeles, earned a spot on the USA Football Under-19 National Team, the organization announced Thursday. Diamont was an All-City player and co-Player of the Year in his league as a junior, and is rated as a high two-star quarterback in the 247Composite, a service from 247Sports.com that combines the rankings of four major recruiting sites into one consensus ranking. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound signal caller threw for 2,977 yards and 31 touchdowns during his junior season and committed to IU on June 12. Diamont will join the team when it faces Team Canada at 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 7 at Maverick Stadium on Texas' campus. He is one of three quarterbacks on the roster. Link

    NFL Week 6

    The boys won. I didn't catch a whole lot of it cause i've lost so much interest since it's been the Jerry Jones/Tony Romo show. I don't have any confidence with either of them two. Colts tonight.

    Hey ccgeneral!

    Sure,we can take care of that today. Last i heard was he went from "50-50 to 90-10 to the NBA" in a matter of a few months though(he gone). As you can see,we didn't do much for this class with it winding down.

    IU Golf - Jeff Overton

    Jeff finished T16 @ -10. 7 back. Scores
  9. Thanks for posting. Glad he was able to make it back home. Thoughts and Prayers for PJ and his family.
  10. 1. KENTUCKY John Calipari has reloaded big time. He has the top recruiting class in America by far, and this group should be special. Think about it -- the Harrison twins (Aaron and Andrew), Julius Randle,Dakari Johnson, James Young, Marcus Lee -- WOW! Then add in veterans like Jarrod Polson, Alex Poythress and Willie Cauley-Stein to help the youngsters learn the ropes, and Big Blue Nation will be smiling. 2. MICHIGAN STATE Having Adreian Payne up front, plus a healthy Gary Harris, Keith Appling and Branden Dawson, is enough to believe the Spartans are legit contenders to cut down the nets in April. The Big Ten favorites will be cohesive and deep. Tom Izzo is a master motivator at tournament time and his team should make a deep run in 2014. 3. LOUISVILLE Russ Smith's decision to return to school gives Rick Pitino an even better chance of going back-to-back. Chane Behanan will be even tougher on the glass. Luke Hancock is more confident after being named Most Outstanding Player in the Final Four. I can't wait to watch Louisville and Kentucky go at it in late December. 4. DUKE Mike Krzyzewski will have a more athletic team that will run, baby, run! Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood are newcomers to watch. Expect more from Quinn Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon. The return of Andre Dawkins will provide long-range shooting help. 5. KANSAS The Jayhawks moved up because of one name -- Andrew Wiggins. There will be excitement for Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk with the diaper dandy leading the way at the Phog. I expect Perry Ellis to develop into a valuable performer. 6. ARIZONA Sean Miller has the best in the West, and the addition of Aaron Gordon, the star of stars at the McDonald's All-American game, is a major positive. Nick Johnson will be a big factor for the Wildcats. 7. FLORIDA Billy Donovan's team is loaded, and it received another boost when Rutgers transfer Eli Carterwas granted immediate eligibility. Look for big things up front from Patric Young. 8. MICHIGAN Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. are gone, but Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III are back. Remember the names of diaper dandies Zak Irvin and Derrick Walton Jr.. They will be crucial for John Beilein. 9. SYRACUSE C.J. Fair will become the next dominant scorer for the Orange. Jim Boeheim lost some talent like Michael Carter-Williams, but he will reload in his first season in the ACC. 10. MEMPHIS Josh Pastner has a solid returning nucleus and several noteworthy newcomers. This will be an exciting team to watch. 11. OKLAHOMA STATE Marcus Smart is back, and teaming up with Le'Bryan Nash has fans excited in Stillwater. 12. OHIO STATE Ohio State has won three of the last four Big Ten regular-season titles along with three of the last four postseason tournament championships. Thad Matta has an experienced club ready to roll. 13. NORTH CAROLINA We will see about P.J. Hairston's return to the Tar Heels. James Michael McAdoo will have to step up on a consistent basis, but the talent is there. 14. GONZAGA Mark Few has a shot to win his 400th game before suffering his 100th loss. Gary Bell, Jr. andKevin Pangos form an outstanding backcourt. 15. VCU It helps to have Treveon Graham and Juvonte Reddic back, plus several talented newcomers. 16. BAYLOR Isaiah Austin and Cory Jefferson are preseason All-Big 12 selections and there are high expectations in Waco. Brady Heslip can flat-out shoot. 17. CONNECTICUT Kevin Ollie welcomes back a top-flight backcourt in Shabazz Napier, Ryan Boatright and Omar Calhoun. 18. NEW MEXICO Steve Alford went to UCLA, but Craig Neal has an outstanding group back. Kendall Williams will lead the Lobos to a solid season. 19. WICHITA STATE Last season, Gregg Marshall got the Shockers to the Final Four. Cleanthony Early and company will not sneak up on anyone. 20. CREIGHTON Doug McDermott and Grant Gibbs take their act to the Big East. McDermott is one of the premier players in America. 21. NOTRE DAME Mike Brey has a reason to smile. He has Eric Atkins and Jerian Grant back in the lineup. 22. HARVARD Tommy Amaker gets back two key players that sat out last season, plus an outstanding returning nucleus. 23. COLORADO Tad Boyle has established a winner in the Pac-12. Look for big things from 6-foot-6 Spencer Dinwiddie. 24. OREGON The Ducks figure to be smaller and quicker than last year's team. Adding several transfers will help. 25. IOWA Fran McCaffrey has built the program back into prominence. Aaron White and company should be dancing. OTHERS TO WATCH: Massachusetts, UCLA, Arizona State, Wisconsin, BYU, Stanford, Georgetown, LaSalle, Boise State, LSU, St. John's, Villanova. http://espn.go.com/espn/dickvitale/story/_/id/9791313/Purdue Person-vitale-preseason-top-25
  11. Another one of my little digs. I like to cover AAU tournaments. Sometimes we get lucky and there is a stream or it's on TV. Offers (2015) PG Isaiah Briscoe - Stan's cousin. (2015) SG Malachi Richardson (2016) SG Tyus Battle Same School and AAU (2015) PF Cheick Diallo (2016) PF Kassoum Yakwe Link 2013 Sharette Dixon Classic Oct. 19 at the Gauchos Gym in The Bronx. The event will feature a sophomore game (6 p.m.) and an upperclassmen game (8 p.m.).
