LMAO, spent a little time this morning on Black and Gold! The tears are like candy to me, so sweet, some are already call for Painter's head!

I hope so, we need a good in-state kid that wants to play for IU, then sprinkle a little Romeo in the mix, the potential will soar!

I just checked that as well, I don't think they know how to handle Archie at IU yet! Who's next, so far Christmas is turning out pretty well.

Landed Race Thompson, Aaron Henry could commit at any second, and sounds like we are Top 2 for Romeo.

Welcome to the Hoosier Nation, Race! Didn't see the re-class coming, but excited to see a Top 100 recruit getting to come in a year early as a Redshirt and gain a wealth of knowledge and experience! This could end up being a really good thing.

Players seem pretty up beat and DD looks much better!

Here is the release from the NCAA: http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/former-louisville-operations-director-acted-unethically-head-coach-failed-monitor In regards to the scholly's: A reduction in men’s basketball scholarships by two during the 2016-17 year (self-imposed by the university). Additionally, the university must reduce men’s basketball scholarships by four over the probation period. The university may take the reductions during any year of that period.

Man, just read Eric Crawford's tweet "I think you could title this passage from the final infractions report on Louisville basketball: "Why the NCAA is so ticked off"" All I can say is damn and why are those coaches not in jail for paying for hookers for a 16yo and 2 17 yos!

http://verbalcommits.com/schools/louisville Link to a spreadsheet on Prostitute U's scholly situation.

Seth Greenburg on ESPN radio: Prostitute U will lose 1 scholarship per year of the probation period. 4 Total

Seth Greenburg on ESPN radio: Prostitute U will lose 1 scholarship per year of the probation period. 4 Total.

According to the ESPN article, the NCAA accepted the self imposed post season ban, but will face additional scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions. They already have two 2018 recruits committed.

From ESPN looks like they are loosing scholly's as well. "In addition, the Cardinals will face scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions and the forfeiture of any money received though conference revenue sharing from the 2012-15 NCAA tournaments."

His bio on ESPN lists him at 6'9" 315.

Prayers for you and your family.

That 4 star is 6'9" 300+ according to his profiles.

HA, the Donovan stuff has already started on ESPN: Jeff Borzello ESPN Staff Writer There are some obvious names for Ohio State: Chris Mack, Chris Holtmann, Mick Cronin, etc. Wonder if Buckeyes reach out to Billy Donovan.

IMO, I don't think pUKe has much of a chance to land Romeo. The kid is taking the Academic Honors program and it really seems like his parents value an education. pUKe's selling point is one and done, and I don't think that will provide much satisfaction for mom and dad. I really believe that it will come down to IU, Prostitute U, and Duke. If the NCAA ever decides to slam the hammer on Prostitute U, it could really be just us or Duke. I don't know how U of No Classes fits into the picture as of yet with good Ol' Roy showing up at New Albany a couple of days after the championship. Again just my opinion from reading all the articles on Romeo and his family.

ESPN: JBJ is apart of Group 2 for pre-draft workouts for the Kings today.

According to ESPN, JBJ had a pre-draft workout for the Wizards yesterday.

I hear the same thing over and over about this kid from pUKe fans, "He's a freak athlete!" Ok that's cool in all, but according to many draft evals the kid can't shoot! "Oh he will be great, he can be taught how to shoot!" Ok, yes they can teach him how, but what if it takes most of the season to "teach" him how to shoot? "Man, it don't matter he's a freak athlete that's all that matters." I am being to think that I would rather argue with a wall, then discuss any type of subject related to basketball with a pUKe fan. Many don't care that their university has basically became a NBA G-league, or that there really is no graduation rate to really speak of there, they are disappointed when a kid decides to stay more than one year (except for Diallo), and I could go on but I won't. I really wish something would be done about the one and done crap. Make college basketball about being a collegiate athlete not an inconvenient obstacle for the pros. Yes, I know that this is how it is now and there is probably no shot at changing it, but one can hope. I miss the days where players like Calbert Cheaney were tearing up the Big Ten in scoring as a four year collegiate athlete.

Sorry I wasn't able to keep everything updated last night, I was trying to finish painting the nursery for my little girl that will be here in a little over a month. Mom is in nesting/freak out mode and cracking the whip. Well, I got everyone's decision but these two, which I assume that both are returning since there really isn't any info to be found and they aren't on any mock lists?. I can't find any info as to their decisions, so I guess I will wait until the "official" list comes out.

A couple of them are ok guys, but the others that are Purdue Persons, trust me I like to get them all worked up. It makes the day go soo much faster. It was like a little piece of heaven around here for the few Hoosier fans last year when we knocked them out of the tourney!

I don't think they really know what they want, but with a similar situation of a whole new team like their last NIT experience, you can get them fired up really fast! Lol.
