Looks like he’s been in the portal for several weeks. Gonna guess that they did some exploratory due diligence and then signed higher priorities. But I guess we’ll see.

Huh. Ok then.

Committed to Nebraska a couple of days ago.

That. Would. Be. Sweet. Saw Brewster play Link Academy at the Quincy Shootout in January and that night in a game with 3 MCDAA’s and nothing but HM kids playing Wilkins was the best player on the floor, flat took over late and hit a 20 footer at the horn to win it for Brewster. That kid is a grown man.

That is an incredible stat.

Probably, but it works both ways. If a top 10ish type kid has, ya know, 5 offers going into his Senior year, unless it’s a Flagg-type situation where there’s no question where they’re going that should provoke a whole different set of questions.

May be forced to check that out this year. Watching it last year that looked like fun.

Was at Montverde as a Soph sitting behind McNeely, Queen and that bunch and then transferred to Columbus and played last year with the Boozer twins. Looks some like Jayson Tatum in HS. Great frame. 3 level scoring potential. Will be interesting to see how he reacts next year to being a #1 option because up to now he hasn’t been.

“Who’s the greatest modern American singer” sounds like a subjective question, except it’s not. The answer’s Aretha Franklin. What a freaking Titan. I’d never seen this before. Aretha doing “Natural Woman” as a tribute to the great Carole King, who co-wrote this with her and is losing her mind throughout. She was 73 here. Staggering. And if you’re not familiar with the symbolism of it, the dropping of the coat at the end is an old time gospel symbol of someone retiring. So unbelievably cool.

Yup

Pope gets a Langdon Hatton to call his very own.

Cal WR Jonathan Brady transferring to IU. Caught 74 for 1010 yds and 7 td’s from Mendoza over the past 2 seasons. Based on size(5’10” and 180) and yards per catch I assume he’s a slot guy. 1 year left.

100%. And he’d find some minutes, but, honest to God, I’d take even if he barely plays. Whatever one thinks of this roster, and I’m pretty intrigued, the one thing it absolutely lacks is anyone at all whose experienced anything close to an IUBB-type environment and the accompanying expectations. Every one of these kids is moving up in weight class. The scrutiny. The fishbowl. The road atmospheres.The whole deal. Having a voice in the locker room who gets it and can convey it would have great, great value.

Landrew isn’t in ESPN’s latest ‘26 top 100, which is really all you need to know about player rankings. Takes about 5 mins to figure out how good that kid is.

Former Oklahoma/High Point/Troy G Duke Miles is bailing on his commitment to Texas A&M after bailing on a commitment to UVA. So looking at his 3rd school this cycle. Yeah

https://x.com/CoachRodC_UT/status/1918295725303029882 Clark’s goodbye to UT fans. Very nice. And the vast majority of replies are gracious and supportive. Good for them. WVU fans could take a lesson.

Obviously meaningless but if there are similar ratings to this 9 months from now it’s fair to assume that IUFB will have proven last season was not a fluke.

Wow, that sounds incredibly good.

Ditto. The last 2 scholly’s are never gonna play so I’ve always loved giving 1 to some raw toolsy kid and working with them for a year. If they hit you stole one and if they don’t you move on to the next one, no harm, no foul.

https://x.com/JayBilas/status/1917250958222069850 Thoughts?

Agree 100%. There is only upside to having that reputation.

His recruitment has been a little erratic, but if you believe 247 he received an offer from WVU after DDV was hired, so who knows.

His dad was a specimen, wasn’t he? One of those 6’3” 240lb OLB types? I don’t know why but it always makes me laugh when one of those kids gets the Bronny James bad genetic luck.
