I am being booted from the site each time I click back to the homepage. Any reason for this?

There is going to be hell to pay...? Huh? You're stating a reaction to an action that we know nothing about. Is IU going after him as their primary big? Is IU telling him he'll ride the pine for a few years while others want him to play right away? Is IU wanting him to play in the post? There's so much to recruiting that it's ignorant to state what will happen, as a fan, if the program doesn't land a recruit.

He would be excellent as a third big. He wants to play a face up stretch 4 ala CWat. If we could land another good to great big that would allow him to backup JMo at the four for a few years before he gains muscle to bang in the B1G. Interesting prospect and if used/developed correctly could be a great player down the road.

Next week west of the Mississippi!

We've extended offers to every 6-10 and above player east of the Mississippi this past week...

That catch tho... That call too!!! Gus Johnson rocks!!!

This. If JBJ defends and has the season I think he will on offense I believe he gets drafted or is picked up on a UFA contract after next season.

Truth, I went to almost every game and encouraged others to stay. It sucked because we sucked. It will take years (!) of success to get a stronger student following that cares about the game enough to stay. That's bowl games, being ranked, and beating an opponent or two we shouldn't each year.

If Fred has anything to do with it it'll shoot fireworks from every direction. I'm positive he's getting kickbacks on those firework contracts.

A night game in Btown and people think the students will stay...? It could be an awesome game with the score tied at half and the students will be out at halftime.

What's the size of that? Was looking to place one on the side of the mountain so all of Honolulu could watch a "how to" video on driving.

Three of the top 7 players and picked to finish fourth... That just seems odd to me unless they believe either the rest of IU's roster is meh or that the other three teams have more depth. I believe there is questions about all the top teams Wisconsin - can they stay in the system and do they have enough talent outside of their top 3 (Hayes, Happ, Koenig) pu - can their backcourt create and beat pressure, do they have enough depth in the front court MSU - can the young talent mature enough by the B1G season not to drop a few games they should win early IU - who replaces Yogi at point? Whoever answers those questions the best will most likely win the B1G.

Like I said about Manley, he'd be a solid option as the third big to bring along slowly. Best of luck to him and the IU staff (landing a solid big) this is starting to look like a hint to just land a big, any big.

Wasn't that a little after he said that most of the top players were dirty?

Odd week of big man recruiting...

Thanks, man. I still have a few months yet.

No, man. I'm not sure I'm ready this year.

Am I the only one not stoked for this? It has the potential to be amazing but more likely to show an ugly side of a lot of people.

I'm curious to see if the Pac 12 has a good noncon season if the media will once again hype them up or be cautious considering their flop in the tourney.

Get well soon Simmie! Hope that option is there for him and he makes the right decision!

So Ted Valentine made a trip to North Korea?

I worked the pro bowl at Aloha Stadium several years ago. A drunk military member ran out onto the field. We tried to get permission to let the dog handler let her dog go but they thought that might get out of hand. As we turned back we saw several Samoans chase him down before he dropped. He barely escaped several 250+ pound Samoans by ducking to the ground. His life might have ended if he didn't drop. That above call was great though. Idiots should stay off the field but it's funny when they get laid out.

North Korea is cool, usually in the fall and early spring.

UL-IU game at 12:30 pm

We'll have to play in the Gavitt Tipoff again soon. It's an 8 year deal with each B1G getting at least 4 games and 8 B1G teams will get 5 games. We might play a Gavitt Tipoff road game in the Northeast and then just play at MSG for the 2k Classic later in the week.
