To be fair, it really wasn't Samsung's phone calls that destroyed the program.  It was the behind the scenes horror show of failed classes and failed drug tests that caused the need for the house cleaning.

They see how many players Cal has had go pro after one year and want to be the next on the list.  He didn't really develop them they were going pro regardless of where they went, but I get the mindset from the kid's perspective.  He's selling that for all it's worth and right now it's worth A LOT in the mind of the most sought after recruits in the country, and the success UK has had with him certainly doesn't hurt.   It's also Cal and UK, neither one will ever be considered a beacon of integrity in the corrupt world of the NCAA, so extra benefit$ are definite possibility.  Considering Eric Bledsoe couldn't even spell ACT, much less pass one, and somehow those two got him admitted to a university only makes it look more likely.

Missouri and Nebraska want this kid, also had offers from Iowa and Wisconsin.  I'd take him in a heartbeat, and it's nice to actually be in with players recruited by programs of that caliber.  Those may not be the best programs around, but competing with them for a recruit is a hell of a lot better than we used to see.   Crystal ball is 100% Missouri right now though I'd love to land him if the staff could pull it off.

What salary cap?

She was pretty solid last season in Miller's system, maybe she's having more issues transitioning to Moren's system then her classmates?   She could help give us a pretty good backcourt and I liked watching her play last season so hopefully whatever her issue is she gets it sorted out.  She's the daughter of a pretty successful coach, I'd think she'd be smart enough to figure it out.

Some of the sophomores have been impressive, I expected Agler to do more than she has though.  She's had some quiet games and has really been in a shooting slump the last few games, outside of FT% her numbers have gone down from last year.

Frankly, I still wouldn't and I'm not even close to kidding.

He definitely deserved it.  Probably shouldn't have even taken the 3 years it took, but at least they got it right eventually.

It's a name I've seen, but not often.  I talk about Crean's history being mediocre, but Alford's is worse.

I've been as outspoken against Crean as just about anyone, and I don't want Alford either.

Our defense looked better late in the year, and many of our better defensive players were just freshmen and sophomores.  I like the Tyler Green pickup as well giving us another 4* safety.   In some games this year it was the offense that let the defense down by not moving the ball and the defense getting worn out over the course of the game because of it.

I was wondering if MSU's schedule was that much tougher.  I knew our schedule was pretty soft but wow.   Dominating win over a ranked team definitely looks good for the program.

64-37 IU, 7:23 to go.   Cahill and Buss both get their double double.  Cahill 11 and 10, Buss 10 and 14(!) with 2 assists and 2 steals for good measure.

Cahill and Buss both on their way to double double games.  Cahill with 7 points and 8 boards, Buss with 8 and 8.

How is MSU ranked with a worse record than we have?

34-25 IU.  2 minutes to go in the half.   Good showing so far for the ladies.

That shot by Hollins was in and out.

From the little I've noticed of her on Gametrackers she seems to pick up quick fouls. She is just a freshman though.

A seriously scary thought.  I'm glad to be in a different state.

Surprised with a gift this morning, this watch:   Couldn't find a real good picture on Google, the band is black and the dial is a two tone from black to a sort of shotgun gray.

There's a third phrase, "Christian Laettner".

The initial interview was basically an online assessment and meet and greet so they can put a name/face with a resume and get to know you and your background a bit.  They told me they'd make decisions on who to bring back for a second more in-depth interview by the end of the year.

But pUKe is still undefeated  :angry:  :rtfm:  :banghead:
