cue the *fog horns*

A quote from his coach, via ITH's @JordanLittman:   Duane Graves on Maten MSU offer: "When we first started this recruiting process, Michigan State was No. 1 on his board."   con't   Graves: “But MSU didn’t have a scholarship available then. Now they do. This is awesome."

Looks like Michigan State has offered... while he is on campus in Bloomington, no less. I'd say this one is over. 

  True... traffic here is the worst. Though, it's pretty equally awful in every direction at rush hour so it's sort of a wash!

Peoria isn't as close to Chicago as many people think... the drive from the far-southside where Morgan Park is to Bloomington is only about an hour longer than driving to Bradley. 

  Not entirely, but things are pretty dead over there right now and every thread is becoming the same thing time after time. That was enough for me to venture out and see what else was out there. 

Tampa is an awesome city.... South Florida hasn't had much success, but they should be better. Tons of talent in Florida, great weather, great city, they are in the AAC. $1.2 million a year to coach at a big conference school in Florida? I'd take that over UNLV. 

  You're missing out... I'm very funny and interesting. 

  Haha thanks... things were slow at the other board and I thought it was a great time to pop on over here and get things rolling.   Am I really one of the first 50 members?? I feel honored

HE PLAYS BALL LIKE A GIRL!

  Sorry I didn't see this before I made my post! It was definitely Gottlieb. I was watching it, too... it was really an unwarranted attack. He compared Dayton slaying Stanford's zone to Crean's inability to handle Syracuse's zone. I know Dayton just beat SU, too, but all the highlights he used to illustrate his point were from last night's game against Stanford. 

Curious if this small fact changes anyone's opinion, because I know people in general don't like this guy and/or think he's full of it.   I saw this on CBS... the analyst that the OP is referring to is Doug Gottlieb.
