As a semi-aside, much props to the VTScoop fans. The link below is a page from their recruiting thread that discusses why Clowney is likely to IU, and whether IU is a blue blood. Respectfully asked by a poster, and definitively answered by another. One poster compares IUBB to Arkansas, and that is shut down as nonsense. https://247sports.com/college/virginia-tech/board/59428/Contents/basketball-recruiting-thread-171489903/?page=37

Thank you! Well said.

Remember—in general this is the TJD thread, not the “kids these days” thread lol.

If true, that sounds like a two cupcake game penalty

That would be pretty excellent! Thanks Billingsley.

A perfect example of a great poster that sometimes knows more than anyone, telling y'all the truth. This time, read his words! Chris thinks things looks good but explicitly said he's not in the know. I'm guessing because Chris knows people in South Central Indiana, not South Carolina. (now, wait for the reaction on another board that a BtownBanners insider says Clowney is an IU lock lol)

This post contains a pretty spot on assessment of TJD in the pros. However, there are plenty of bigs in the NBA that shoot threes well and have no mid-range game whatsoever. Thomas Bryant and OG are good examples. They score almost entirely at the rim and from three, with no midrange game.

Post count…don’t let it take too long—it’s truly an offensive title to carry.

Oh man—a sandwich showdown throw down! May the better bread and fillings win. (we will keep score by tabulating points per possession, and tomato sauce/mozzarella quality)

Welcome to the board, Tas! Don’t be a stranger.

And Dane Fife re-tweeted the results. Coach Fife working hard on this one—he must think we’re in the hunt here.

Not directed at anyone in particular, but which posters are confident and the words those confident people use are important. The mods get a pretty good sense of what is real info, and when it is “message board echo chamber” confidence. Confidence on an out of state player that is more speculative than informed is more common. There’s one out of state poster who has barely weighed in on Clowney and I think might have cause to know, but has chosen not to say much. And it’s not always someone the board would consider “an insider” that has the good info. With Woody I got inside info from someone who no one considered an insider, but they were spot on. That’s why I was able to research Woody and post all of those YouTube videos with NBA guys raving about him—someone under the radar with real info learned he was under serious consideration. So, I started selling him so that the board wouldn’t have a complete sh!t fit if he was selected. (It kinda worked lol) Back to Clowney—beats the heck out of me, but the good signs are coming from IU beat reporters and Clowney’s mom IMO. That’s good news, but not decisive news.

REASONABLY good
