I’m feeling a solution to our problem. A&M could use a serious dose of #LEO. But, seriously, how much substantively worse would CTA be in College Station than Kliff freaking Kingsbury? Has anyone ever gone farther doing less?

One of the great tv lines ever, Spike, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: “If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there it would have looked like Woodstock.”

I am so gonna stand and applaud at tip-off. No one deserves to lose that one.

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401589372 This is the box score from Wright St’s season opener against Colorado St, and this is one to behold. CSU dropped 60 on them in the 2nd half, shot 63% for the game and had 37 assists on 42 baskets. So, either CSU is the Golden State Warriors or Wright State can’t defend a lick.

If you had a dollar for every time we start with some derivation of “The Hysterics were a bit cringey….” you’d have that Battle for Atlantis trip covered.

Well, it was no Moses Abraham, but we paid some attention.

That doesn’t even look real. Oh, and quick reminder as IU looks at ‘24 PG options: Haliburton wasn’t a top 100 kid. Not even close.

In the back to back with Philly his asst/to was 32 to ZERO. Never heard of such a thing.

How did I not know that Jeff Teague is the HC at Pike?

IU, Texas A&M and Bama is kind of an interesting triumvirate. Those are some strong NIL programs, certainly more so than Providence.

https://stockrisers.com/s/522/top-5-junior-jalen-haralson-talks-recruitment-game-move-to-lalu Nothing terribly interesting other than some comments on his most recent visits.

5 mins in they’d have to go to a running clock.

This shouldn’t be controversial. They have a ‘25 lottery pick(Newell) who doesn’t start.

Well, this is interesting. Was originally a ‘24 who re-classed to ‘25. Wonder if they’re looking at him as a ‘24?

Apparently also plays football. I love me the 2 sport guys.

Yup. And the thing is, this isn’t the worst high school team in the world. These guys just happen to be cannon fodder for the best high school team in the world. Something to tell their kids about someday.

https://247sports.com/Article/dalton-knecht-tennessee-volunteers-basketball-transfer-portal-sec-northern-colorado-rick-barnes-220273138/ Really nice read on Dalton Knecht’s path to Tennessee and, presumably, the League. Good for that kid. He made it happen the hard way.

Jared Grasso out at Bryant. Not sure what the full story is there, but it’s been insinuated for a long time that the dude would implode eventually. Credit where it’s due, that guy put them on the map.

‘26 from Zionsville. Also mentioned in the Indy Star article above.

If you have NFHS, McNeeley and Queen playing tonight. Fair to assume it will be a beating.

Includes DeZhon Hall, EJ Hazelett and the Reynolds kid from South Bend whose entire family is at Purdue. A friend of mine who knows what he’s watching is really high on the Mt Vernon kid.

And this is when the Rutgers HC keeps barking something like, ‘We signed up for 40!” Yeah, then maybe you should have shown for the first 38.

And. They. Keep. Fouling.

Side note: Calbert’s 52. He’s like a walking example of that Elvis meme about how not all men are created equal.

Wear them until you lose.
