Dude is good.  He reminds me of Zach Randolph at that age.  Agile for a big dude.  

Great fight.  Lawler is one classy dude.  He could bitch and moan.  He did not.  It was a close fight, and he knew it.  I am more of a Lawler fan after that.

Lawler's length is killing Hendricks late.  

Big Rigg needs a takedown to end the fight in control.  It should be 2-2.  

That hard cut is coming back to bite Hendricks.  

Great fight so far.  Hendricks does not want to take this one to the judges either.  Close so far.  I think he has looked better so far, but that doesn't matter in 10 point must.  

Well that sucks.  

It looks like Condit underestimated Woodley's power so far.  He is feeling it.  

  Looking at Marquette's lineup, I think he will get those same minutes starting in January of next year.  Curious to see for us if we go the JUCO route.  I would think that is our only option at this point.  

Damn, Jury played it safe.  I hate it when people do that, but understand it.  

I think he was really coming into his own like Stan at the same time Stan was.  I think he would have been that 6 point per game player this year and got 20-25 next year.  Some of our players are athletes.  That kid was a ballplayer.  Pretty sure he was over 235 which for a Freshman would be pretty good.  

  I think it is on Crean to not have more than 2 skilled bigs.  I do think Fischer's ranking is misleading.  He was well rounded with a high IQ.  He was also partially lower ranked due to playing HS in Wisconsin.  Nobody to play against.  We will miss his skill and IQ next year.  

Damn, if I would have know Jury was -180, I would have taken Diego.  I am feeling it tonight.  

Diego looks in shape and as hyped as ever.  Lol, I think we should go WWE and pull out a blade.  Both these dudes are going to be bleeding quick.  

Ah shit, HERE WE GO!!!

Lol.  

Well, 2014 was weak for skilled bigs.  Think, Trey Lyles was committed to IU.  If he was coming here next year, would people still be worried?  Probably not.  There weren't many instant impact bigs out of 2014.  So Crean banked on getting one instant impact in 2013 and one potentially very good 4 year player.  I think we can agree Luke would have started next year and been a key contributor next year.  Problem is Luke was the only well rounded big we had recruited for 2012, 2013, and 2014.  When he transfers, Crean's seat was bound to get hot.  

17-15?

  I don't really see that much anymore around here.  They want him to succeed, but it is on him at this point.  When all he had was Luke and Noah, that was on him.  He has only recruited lottery tickets for bigs in between Zeller and Luke.  Luke leaving hurt him worse than Noah.  

Shields is like Frank Mir.  Short window with high skills.  Got slower, and never had the hands to compete with guys who had speed and power.  

Not a fan of Shields.  High level BJJ, but doubt he can stay with Lombard.  Dana feeding him to the wolves with fast hands.  

  Dude there was so much blood in that fight.  I thought the Diego fight where he belched in the ringside doctor's face there was a lot of blood.  Bet Diego vs. Penn seen staples lol.  

You and me both.  The schools he could get into probably can't afford for someone to take down their APR.  I know Memphis is very easy to get into.  I would be surprised at this point if it wasn't them.  

You guys are what drive this site.  What do you guys want covered?  We have been throwing ideas back and forth.  We will do what we can, but we want to see what you guys want.  We are hoping to add consistency over the summer, and not just ramp up for the basketball season.  Obviously we have some football fans on here.  So, it probably won't all be basketball.  CC kills it with recruiting.  So, he will make it easier on some of us being able to recap some of his info.  Summer is recruiting time, and kids getting ready for next year.  This year may have some unexpected announcements.  We will see.  Let us know what you guys want to read or discuss.  

  Kansas no longer recruiting him.  All they had to do is say we got a scholly for you and he would have went.  That has to say how bad his grades are.  When teams are shying away from a top 20 kid with his skill set, that is pretty telling.
