LaVall Jordan named head coach at Butler. Former Butler player about 15 years ago, assistant at Iowa and under Belien at Michigan. Last year replaced Jeter at Wisconsin Milwaukee; Jeter went 20-13 in '16 but had APR troubles. One season as a head coach; last season at Milwaukee finished last in the Horizon conference with a 11-24 record. Yikes.

Watched his whole game in the Derby Classic. He has a "can't be taught" knack for carving out space when he drives, and a killer great attitude. We're going to like him.

"Inside out" strategy means very likely not Isaiah Stewart.

Well, you can, but you're gonna take heat for doing so. Besides, moving on a rival firm's highest paid employee a few months after he's entered a big-time contract with a new company is not analogous to asking a girl for a date.

Lengthy March, 2017 workout video. Clifton has a really nice shooting stroke for a long, tall big guy:

You forgot Ball State, ND, Evansville, and Purdue.

Cmon Arch. Make it happen!

Well, yeah! A starting lineup of Garland, Langford, Juwan, DeRon, and Justin Smith sounds like banner material to me.

I recommend that they learn this one!

And prime examples of it are Swider and Damezi Anderson. Both were ranked well +100 until this week, and now both are solid four stars. Archie can see the local recruits up close. If he thinks that Henry and Anderson are worth our time and that Jallow might not be, then I'm really good with that.

For me it suggests that Archie is looking for one 6'4"-6'5" hard-nosed swingman type player. A guy like Jallow (who apparently is not showing well lately) Anderson, or Henry (who are apparently both starting to rise considerably). As for Hemenway, 15/6/3 while a soph on a senior dominated team and the same team as a senior Nunge is pretty strong. We will have five spots to fill. It feels like we are looking at two ball-handling guards (Langord, Garland, Phinisee, E Hunter, Carey), one swingman (Jallow, Ayala, Anderson, maybe Henry), and two stretchy bigs (Johns, Swider, J Hunter, Thompson). Since we are looking to replace RoJo, Josh, Freddie, and Collin, that makes sense to me, and would seem to leave us with a talent upgrade when the day is done.

So, what did you think of Henry and Hemenway?

Here's a must watch to get a recent sense of two potential new IU recruits in a game setting. It will also remind y'all just how fantastic Indiana High School basketball is. It's the two months ago state semi-final showdown between Castle, featuring Jack Nunge ('17 Iowa), #22 in the black uniform, and a very impressive Alex Hemenway ('19, maybe IU), #12 in black, versus Ben Davis, featuring Aaron Henry ('18, maybe IU), #50 in white. Enjoy!

2019 Castle SG Alex Hemenway to visit IUBB this week. He's a Hoosier in the making if he's good enough.

Seems like an excellent hire for OSU.

YES!!!!!

Chris Jent? Mike Brown?

Assembly Hall will be in full effect versus a Duke team that will feature as starters: Three (highly regarded) freshmen One sophomore who barely played as a freshman due to focus and immaturity issues A senior guard who is incredibly infamous for immaturity issues Love it. Love it. Love it.

Very classy response. The contrast between your take on this and Boucher's is striking...and not surprising.

The mods (dalton was ensuring board rules remained enforced) deleted the post. It was a random, silly, vulgar potshot at you. Done.

Gotta be. The buck stops right there.

Methinks that Terri Moren may not be all that excellent a coach to play for.

Has the complete feel of an absolute, unmitigated, behind the scenes trainwreck.

Fixed it for 'ya.

Were you his math teacher? I heard he's reasonably good at math.
