    We do a lot of odd things with our language and pronunciation.

    For example, show me where the "R" is is the military rank of Colonel. And yet it is pronounced more like Kernel. 

    There is an interesting history there with it being a French word.

    I'm pretty sure the French have a different word for cockburn.

    I always thought Cockburns greatest move had nothing to do with how he moved his feet but rather how he convinced people that Cockburn was pronounced Coburn.

    There cannot be a language anywhere in the world where "ck" is silent. He pulled some real Keyser Soze **** on that one.

    I have it on good authority that PS5 is code for Potential Starting 5. And got a load in is youth slang for has a location IN.

    So looks like he is an IU lock,  esp. with the picture with clearly represents him sitting next to CMW getting a scholarship offer.

     

     

    Is his Twitter hacked or is he really slinging PS5s on the side?

    If not hacked, seems sketchy.

    So let's say IU turns it around the next three years.

    Which situation best serves IU, say, 5 yrs later.

    a)Fife stays as asst coach.

    b) Fife gets a job at somewhere like Iowa St or ODU and hones his HC craft before returning to IU?

    If things are going well, keep the band together. Worked at Wisconsin, could work at UNC (we’ll see).

    Sounds like not a big enough chance to play pg.  

    This is like Justin Smith wanting to be a three point shooter. Sure, you can want that, but you need the skill set for it. Al doesn't have a PG skill set. He'll be playing on the wing at Providence.

    One reporter -- can't remember who it was; could've been our friend Goodman -- said a college coach told him he would never recruit a high school kid again.

    I can't image building and restocking your roster entirely with transfers, but as a wise man once said: You never know.

    That seems... impossible?

    I'm gonna go out on a very sturdy limb and say Fred Hoiberg. Dude loves the transfer market.


  7. I think some of us get wrapped up in the uniqueness of college basketball and sometimes forget this is a very high profile minor leagues.

    We just hired a longtime head coach and assistant from the major leagues to come coach our minor league team. He should run circles around most Division I coaches. Just have to get talented players in the program and I believe coach Woodson will succeed here.
