Why the Pacers are such a great watch.

That that guy has college eligibility left is so far past ridiculous.

Got to see him play in a showcase event in January and I like that kid a good bit. Worth keeping long-term tabs on. Different sort of player, but it’s not hard to see him take a Javon Small sort of path where he starts at a mid-major and by his junior year he’s a pretty popular portal option for power conference schools

Sales’ reply to the Hicks commitment. That seems kind of good.

A 6’5” rising Junior WR. I’ll take him sight unseen.

Not at all, and yet it kind of feels like that’s where this might be going. Make it tough for team’s to get their defense set and just trying to grind them down with your depth and pace.

I'm not even sure "modern" fully covers it. I've been trying to figure out, aside from just money, how hes's been able to pretty easily get literally 2 deep 1-3 when all 6 of those kids probably entered the portal with starting expectations. Dorn was the capper. I just thought there was no way there because he'd be able to find 25 mins somewhere, but not here. The only thing that makes sense is he's selling these kids on playing hyper-fast. Not even Illinois-level fast, Bama-level fast. I know he talked about 12 sec possessions but, hell, Tony Bennett talked about early clock offense. Yet it sure as $hit looks like he's building a roster to actually do that, which is pretty wild given that he's never done it before. If that's the case and this team's pushing 80 possession games next year, IUBB will be unrecognizable and no team in the B1G would be doing anything like that. Crean at his wild and craziest was nowhere close to that pace of play.

Yup. A depth piece for the National Champions will now be a depth piece in Bloomington. I fail to see how that’s not good. Obviously a different player, but if he’s Anthony Walker in that he can give you useful minutes when he’s needed and a positive locker room presence when he’s not that’s a very nice piece of the puzzle.

Wow, ok, did he actually visit?

Oh, Ozzie Canseco is a strong pull!

Not to hijack young Deuce’s thread, but has there ever been worse genetic luck than Ace Flagg? His twin brother is gonna make a half billion or so in the League while Ace is hawking New England timeshares. Ausar and Amen Thompson they ain’t.

PU’s Brian Waddell to Bellarmine. I assume there’s a story there.

Wow, I would have straight up bet against that one. DDV is rollin’!

Yup, walked up to him at a Juwan Morgan vs OG Anunoby HS game and we talked the entire 1st half until he took off at halftime and he could not have been a nicer dude.

Putting basketball aside, CTC would have been one of the all-time casino greeters. Dude forgets no one.

Off the top of my head with no thought at all: Wilkerson Newton Tolbert Reynolds G Graham

Kenya Hunter joining Sean Miller’s staff at Texas.

Just committed to St Mary’s. Good fit for him.

Price shows committed to Nevada. Is that wrong?

Makes sense. Atlanta kid.

Came across these guys yesterday. Red Clay Strays are a Southern Rock/Alt Countey/Roots band from Mobile, Al with 2 albums out. Listened to their 2nd one, Made by These Moments, and it’s a terrific record. Every track wins. Great energy. Strong instrumentally. The singer’s name is Brandon Garrison and he’s fantastic. Best new thing I’ve heard in a minute.

Oh no, no, no. Since we interpret that as “Baba Miller didn’t show up this weekend for his visit like I told everyone to bet their house on” it will be carved into your headstone if the kid rolls into Bloomington on Monday morning. You know how this goes.

By all means, kick the hell out of Fordham over 10k. That’ll scare everybody. Meanwhile, Rob Wright leaving Baylor after he said he wasn’t and committing 3 days later to BYU for 3.5 mil is just the new reality, huh? I swear to God.
