Flipped on TNT’s BOS-NYK pregame last night just in time to hear Kenny Smith go on a rant about how anyone who thinks Bronny James isn’t an NBA player right now doesn’t know ball and then said he was one of the 5 best guards in HS bball his senior year, which is objectively insane. I like that show as much as anyone but every now and then, I swear to God.

Big fan of Tiller because he’s a pretty switchable defender, his offense will play in any system and he doesn’t need shots to help you. But this has always felt like a really tough pull. Have thought Auburn the whole time, but if Ga Tech makes it happen good for Damon.

Maybe Trey McKenney.

Part of it for sure. Another may have been that his path always seemed sort of set. Early on the perception of him was that he was a virtually done deal to Mich St, to the point that a lot of schools seemed to stop working him. Then the Ignite thing happened and that was definitely the end because there was just no history of kids bailing on Ignite and going to school. If Kenya stayed in his ear that entire time when others didn’t, good for him.

Trilly just dropped an Izzo GIF. I assume it’s for Cam Ward. That’s fine. Keep those DMV kids away from Maryland.

For those interested, John Fanta, Fox’s Big East guy, was in Bloomington for practice today and has several observations in his feed. Nothing super noteworthy except, maybe, more validation that Tucker is outplaying most of our expectations.

I do not care how this is calculated. It’s too funny not to just sort of bask in.

De’Ron looks great. Good for that dude.

Seemed like a better fit timing-wise than Nebraska since he doesn’t play next weekend.

In Dusty May’s Michigan debut they beat a really well-coached Oakland team by 44 and hit 15 3’s. sigh

Big 12 officials doing a giant solid for Iowa St against UCF. Gives them a what would’ve been a marginal PI call even if the throw didn’t land 20 ft out of bounds and then flat missed a false start on the go ahead TD.

Can’t get over it. How can a school with their resources and that panache and coming off a Natty not have a guy who can pay at least a little? It’s not like someone got hurt. Texas’ 3rd string QB last year is now at Duke playing pretty well and Michigan doesn’t even have 1.

And in their 1st performance post-Bennett UVA loses their scrimmage to Virginia Commonwealth by 22. I think they were missing a couple of kids but that right there might telll the story.

Credit it where it’s due: the Illinois anniversary helmets are great.

Can’t lie, want 1 more. 56-7 sounds so nasty.

Kind of speechless at this point.

Sarratt is a monster.

Raiola’s really talented but he was not ready for this. The game looks too big for him.

Is this the best IU homecoming game ever? I can’t imagine there’s a better one. They are flat curb stomping a pretty good team.

Had the ball for 7 1/2 minutes and are trailing in the quarter. That is soul-sucking.

Ok, Cig was hilarious there. He looks like he’s DOWN 28-7. Probably still pi$$ed at Ponds.

In old school IU football culture that exact scenario happens going the other way.

I wonder if there is any team in the country with a tighter positional profile than IU’s RB profile. They all look like the exact same kid.

If I’d been thinking I wouldn’t have.
