Also has Derrick Nix from Mich St. Will be interested to see how he looks. Always looked like 1 of those kids for whom conditioning could be an ....issue somewhere down the road.

All I can say is thanks to Woody and thanks to the Hysterics for reinvigorating this thread. Because 100 degree summer days wasn’t soul-sucking enough.

Flagg’s role at Montverde was being Flagg. One of the best HS defenders ever. Rare instincts from the weak side to the point of uniqueness. Switchable 1-5. A force of nature in the open floor. Sisley’s good and can probably approximate his offense in the halfcourt, but that is as far as that goes.

Ordinarily I’m with you. He doesn’t profile like my kind of guard at all. But that kid is just dynamic and wherever he lands he’s gonna be a problem. I’m really glad there’s no Maryland involved here. He needs to be out of the B1G.

Speechless

Sir, “Drank a shot of Yukon Jack Whiskey with a human toe in it” could use a little bit of context.

Not like this was ever going anywhere with IU, but it’s officially over as Robinson announces a final 5 of Butler, DePaul, Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Xavier.

Yeah, that’s the 1 to check out. DeSmet story: the 1st time I saw Jayson Tatum live was at DeSmet. It’s like a 2 min drive from our house and I just assumed it was just some run of the mill Catholic school because it looks completely ordinary. As I’m watching warmups 4 dudes walk in wearing “ DeSmet Water Polo” sweatshirts. That’s all I needed to know.

Everything about Moreno screams good, good kid. He’s gonna be an on floor asset wherever he goes and he will rep his school incredibly well.

https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-class-of-2025-center-malachi-moreno-down-to-eight-schools/ Moreno’s list at 8. No real surprises. Interesting note here is that Schumann describes Moreno as the “ringleader” of the plan for Mullins, Sisley and Moreno to take their IU OV’s together. That’s not nothin’.

CBC’s about 10 mins from me. Guess I’ll need to check out some HS football this year.

It’s definitely better, but now it looks like they’ve had a roof leak and there’s mold growing on the floor.

Couple of things: 1) I believe Riley was an old ‘25, so he may be returning to his original class. Pretty sure he’s older than Bryson Tucker 2) As long as they’ve properly aligned his expectations, again using Tucker as an example, he’s better off developmentally in college than prep school. 3) He’s a stone scorer and those guys will always play. 4) Illinois has a war chest. They can outbid 95% of the country.

I’ll never get over how meaningless commitments are in CFB. Since it’s the culture and everyone gets it I suppose it doesn’t matter much, but a “committed” player taking actual officials to other schools will never not be funny. McNeeley de-committing was literally a national recruiting story. Lewis de-committing will be a complete shrug.

Western Reserve plays at Flyin’ to the Hoop in Dayton every year. I skipped it last year. May have to make the trip this year.

On3 strongly hinting a USC decommitment today. We’ll see.

‘25 top 10 wing Will Riley commits to Illinois and will reclassify to ‘24. Hell of a get for Underwood.

Picking a fight with USPS here. We should all be lucky enough to have someone love us as much as he loves the Dayton games.

Sounds like a quote from a Lou Henson alumni event, circa 1989.

2 things: 1) Ament laid that stat line on DeMatha. How the mighty have fallen. 2) The Hughes shootout games are apparently played in 10 minute running quarters. So the kid dropped 41/27 with a 40 min running clock. That is nuts.
