  Okay. You made me do it:   Deng Dong Deng   Deng Luol Deng   Deng Dong The Witch Is Deng   Deng Er-Will Robinson Deng   Deng-Ue Fever Deng   Deng ItAll Deng   Deng Nabbitt Deng

I truly wonder what his middle name is.

    Hwy.   Can you guard the post, and do you have any eligibility left?

  Well, South Carolina has 6'7" wing Cimneon Bowers in on Monday, so I guess they're out of it too ;)

    If I could "like" this post many, many times over I would.

Wrong-oh Marylou! His name was Uwe BlaB. 'twas merely pronounced "BlaP"

Oooh, ooh! Maybe our new recruit is related to Cem... "Link Dink"!

Cem Dink?

This is fun! Magnus Pelkowski

  It's all good, friend.   It's a growing and evolving list!

Indiana: Evan Gordon (GS)

  Because he's an Ivan Renko-like international man of mystery, that's why!

WE HAVE FOUND..."THE MISSING LINK"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   He is an "Ivan Renko-like" man of international mystery, this guy is.   A commit from "The Missing Link" will send this board into a frenzy of over the top opinions. I will be a big fan of the entertainment factor if this heats up!

  No. The IU staff likely just wants him to play basketball.   See Watford, Christian. Guarded Trey Burke and LewJack at times. Shot lots of threes. Rebounded.

It's how we roll.

  College bball success as I would quickly define it (this poster's opinion only):   ->  High quality people as players ->  Expectation that a reasonable majority of those players will attain a college degree (the NCAA men's bball average is 65%.  Any # at or over that works well) ->  Players that connect as students at the university, stay long enough to cement that connection, and don't live in an ivory tower. ->  Win 'dem basketball games   UK has absolutely no success on two of those four components. With Cal as coach of UK and CTC at IU, IU has a MUCH better chance of going four for four.    (by the way...if you'd asked me to define success for an NBA team, 'win 'dem games' would trump all other elements)

  Cheapie...Kyle...is that you?

  Won/loss record is not necessarily how I always define success.

  Pinnacle?   Geez, I think he's in the sewer of college basketball.

  Just because some unnamed source on the Ohio State HSN 247 board is saying "it's a done deal" doesn't mean it's a done deal. And it DEFINITELY doesn't mean that "nobody is wanting to play for Coach Crean".   Wait...I know...Myles Turner to Youngstown State is a done deal. There...it must be true!   Sheesh.

I now have definitive news about Cal's future:   He will coach only the best paid players who are completely removed from their peers and have others genuflect to them wherever they go.   Whether Cal stays at Kentucky or goes to the Lakers?   I have no idea.

  Moreover...UConn has missed the tourney because of their low APR/lack of academic standards.    UK cheats, has not graduated a scholly recruit since Cal arrived, and got their rear end handed to them by Robert Morris last year.   IU has not "hovered around the top 25" the past few years: Two years ago we finished the season in the top 15 and spent considerable time in the top ten. Last year we were #1 for more weeks than any other team, and finished ranked in the top ten. The past year we had a bad go.    So, save for the use of a complete misstatement of facts, you have fully supported your position ;)

I am not getting any of my Josh Cunningham news that was implied by this thread title...   Why oh why has the Josh Cunningham thread become "Josh Cunningham-less"!
