That’s cool... signing with his classmates who are going to different schools and playing different sports. I don’t think I’ve seen a top 100 kid do that.

What does this mean exactly? By all accounts we are one of his two choices and we apparently knocked his official visit out of the park. How in the world can you claim we have no momentum in this recruitment?

He definitely looked more composed and game-ready on offense in the second half. His defense still wasn't very good though. But hopefully the defense is easier to get corrected.

The only real disappointing thing I saw last night was Damezi on defense. He looked like he was on roller skates while guarding on the perimeter and seemed to be out of position on several N Alabama buckets.

The color commentator on the broadcast said it best I think. Something along the lines of, "He's not out here trying to play a finesse game. He's playing with pure aggression." Love to see that from a freshman.

He kinda did say it, but not directly. “When you have your opportunity on this team you gotta cash in” or something like that.

Hahahahaha. That was everything I hoped for.

Allowing a ton of threes while not making many of our own. Same problems, different year.

Al looks like the pressure has taken him out of the game. He has a loose dribble and looks uncomfortable.

Northwestern and Nebraska are looking to be some of the worst BIG teams this decade.

The restraining order is BS. The school admitted his family was given the money. He should be held out regardless.

The games do get harder before Florida State. Louisiana Tech is #91 in KenPom and South Dakota is #124 so it's not all pure cupcakes. Five cupcakes at the start of the season is about right. The rest of the non-conference schedule plus the extra BIG games should provide plenty of SOS.

That #4... What? An actual police chief suggested that?

This is where I'm at. The ball moved soooooo well with three guards in the lineup. With the way Franklin's been playing, we know there is some guard depth and can more comfortably play three of them for stretches. Davis did not look good on defense. Slow recoveries from the hedge led to several easy baskets down low. I don't see him getting a lot of playing time if that continues, so we will need Brunk and Race off the bench.

Narrowly avoided the Club Trillion despite playing 15 mins.

Somehow, despite their roster turning over something like 50% each year with Underwood, they've managed to form a talented core of players.

I love Elston, but maybe now we can get a Director of Player Development with the experience to develop players a bit more consistently.

Yes he did. But the second guy... Geeeeze that’s a rough listen.

I thought MSU cancelled TJD’s visit.

Get ready for the Armaan Franklin show.

Is the IHSAA staffed by small town cops? Seems like they throw the book at you for absolutely nothing.

This is where I'm at. I'd say "energy guy off the bench" but he's not really an energy guy. If Race and JH are ready to go, he may just be a "bench" guy. His effort and body language last year were infuriating.

If you follow some of the other IU bball posts, Armaan was the winner or co-winner of a bunch of the workout challenges.

So what you're saying is that Self will get suspended for 3 games? That should teach him. And a Mother's Day card for good measure:

Is it too soon to pray for the folks on your mail route?
