  Weekly, not daily.   :no:

  Bingo.   Antoine Walker, anyone?

Hey, if Jamal doesn't know what his major is, how are we supposed to?

  Dedicated new UK student Jamal Murray is now trying to get a waiver from the NCAA so that he can play with the Canadian FIBA team. Young Mr. Murray has still not set foot on the UK campus other than for his official recrutiing visit. This waiver would allow him to miss at least the first few weeks of classes during his one and only year at UK.   "The FIBA American Championships are coming up at the end of the month. As much as Murray would love to play, classes start on the 24th and Murray can not be in two places at once. Canadian officials have spoke with John Calipari and the NCAA trying to keep his services a little longer."   Hey Jamal...what's your major gonna be?

  I get a sense that DeRiante Jenkins is a real possibility too.

  Cal and UK have literally almost zero players who have any interest in a college degree.   I don't want to get that done.

  All it'll take is adding Bruce Brown and Deron Davis to GG, and you'll be fine!   :biggrin:

  Not as our sixth man (his defense wasn't good enough) but as part of a six man class.   I like having someone in the 7th-9th man role that can really stretch the defense, ala Roth, Zeisloft, Kyle Hornsby.

    If Matt Roth was cloned and available for a six man IU class, I'd take him in a heartbeat. I hope that GG is a Matt Roth clone.

Nigel Hayes #1?   Sounds entirely possible to me.

For a message board, I don't think there's been all that much negativity.

    There you go again with your condesceding, uninformed opinions.    I'm telling the mods on you!

  I know you are, but what am I?

  Nope...we still have an open spot at the moment, giving us four guaranteed roster spots for '16.   That, and this is Troy Williams's last season at IU, barring (lord forbid) a red-shirt injury year.

  The order DOES NOT MATTER. Not even a little...not at all.   As long as all necessities are filled, that is.   I am pretty confident that's what we will be able to do. However, I understand that it is more nerveracking to not get one of "the horses" first.

    Pot shots?  This player is exactly who you were hoping for. SImply said. For an unranked recruit who starts our '16 class, I think this thread has been pretty darn positive!   Hope he IS Todd Leary...the player, not the felon ;)  No one (at least, no one with any sense) is expecting him to be a contributor in his freshman year. However, my questions from about a month ago still apply: will he develop into a player who can guard at the level needed to be a rotation player on a top 15 level team?   If he can; this is a indisputably good pickup.

GG seems to fill a spot that CTC likes to have on his roster; a catch and shoot three point specialist that plays the 2/3.   I have read that the knock on GG is his defense. That's the primary part that concerns me. Otherwise, looks like a fine pickup. The star power will come with other 2016 recruits; I'm fairly confident about that.

        My theory sucked!

Much more likely he would be a conditional offer...as in: "We are offering you a scholly spot, but we will not take your commitment quite yet."

25-24 Armored.   Sheehey is killing it - the best player on the court.

Saw a bit of the streamed feed the other night; Jordy has definitely advanced his ball handling skills and CWat has been playing the two guard. Both are averaging over 35 mpg.   My only regret is that they didn't get a chance to play against, and stomp the living shirt out of the Chicago regional team that had JaMarcus Ellis and DeAndre Thomas.   Will Sheehey is supposed to be over his hammy tweak and joining Jordy and CWat soon; maybe by tonight.   $1 million to the winning team; I think our guys are in the final 16.

  So he's Matt Carlino junior?

  We already had one from the Boucher family...   Tijan Boucher

  When I am selling OG as a great get, it s not because there is a chance he will beat out three year players who have also worked hard and know what they are doing.   That's not what is supposed to happen.
