Illinois - 24 Indiana - 28

Thanks for the heads up, I just grabbed a pair for section 18, Row P. See you there @eddy4iu?

Camper's name has been coming up often throughout the spring & summer, could be another name to watch.

If anyone is not going to use their allocation please let me know, I would be interested in 2 tickets - thank you!

In years past I may have been a bit perturbed about missing top in-state talent, see Furst, Kaufman, Guy, etc., but with Woody and staff on-board I know we will be fine. Separately, I have always wondered why the Kansas's, UNC's, Duke's, etc. of the world never really got involved in Booker's recruitment - odd for a guy who is trending to be a McDonalds AA.

Is Sparty the move here?

Same program as Tamar. I'm curious how the staff feels about this move? Given how highly Tamar continues to speak of the staff, I would think neutral at the bare minimum if not a bit positive.

Looks like the staff is prioritizing a ~4/5-man class, Cupps, Newton, Big TBD (Booker, Page), Dynamic Wing TBD (Power, Kaiser), and maybe another Guard TBD (Jackson, Harris-Smith)...as @Class of '66 Old Fartsays, these things generally work themselves out and the staff has a plan.

The first part is a bit uncalled for, don't you think? Jones struggled on the field, no one is going to debate that, but he devoted 4+ years to the university and by all accounts represented the school well off the field and you characterize the young man as 'absolute trash.' smh

Hell of a win - great performance by Tucker this afternoon for 6 innings!

Agree, that's why I said they could be a potential dark horse NCAA tourney team, e.g. bubble'y 10-12 seed type squad, not compete for the Big East championship - HUGE DIFFERENCE. Furthermore, I think Coach Matta is a tremendous coach, and will be out to prove a lot of folks across the industry wrong - again nothing to back this up with. I just have a great deal of respect for the work that he accomplished throughout his tenure at Butler (Rd 1) and OSU.

100% - With Hunter and the NC State transfer earlier in the week, Manny Bates, paired w/Ali Ali from Akron and the return of Lukosius from the portal, Butler should be a talented squad (potentially a dark horse NCAA tourney team.)

That's cool and all...but I think you are missing the point here...16 L's > 4 L's and by the 'transverse property of coaching' Woody > Self...or something like that ; )

17?! Damn! Woody has a minuscule 4 career home loses - net, net nothing to be worried about here.

McFadden Round 5 to the Giants, very cool for the young man.

Indeed.

UNC's scholarship #'s should be fine (13 going into next season) per VC's tracker once you pull out Manek (graduation).

Silly question that has probably already been addressed, but is he a relation of Tamika - son/nephew?

Newman, Morton, and the Frosh (Smith/Loyer) I believe. I am sure they will add a true point from the portal.

Would it be inappropriate to just drop in a JPEG of the 'state of Georgia' as well?! The in-roads Coach Ya has made within the state are remarkable, unlocking a new level of athlete for the program.

100% - look at what Steve Pikiell has built at Rutgers. If I were at Minnesota, PSU, Northwestern, etc. that is the formula I would follow...establish a culture and develop from within even it means taking lumps first few years.

Completely different players, but does anyone get a little Al Durham vibe from Dennis in terms of being a team-first player, well-respected, good dudes that if nothing else will come in and hustle and help with the team's culture?

Big loss for the program, Mashack was a beast on the recruiting trail.

And we'll see him at Memorial Stadium this Fall, should be a fun little homecoming of sorts for him.

Any early projections on how you expect the class to fill out with Newton & Cupps?
