Class of '66 Old Fart

What a finish. Came from 3 down. Good 2 game sweep.

Berkmar High School, Lilburn, GA

Oh so close!

Some shirt shack in Durham's area created this shirt for him.

Good chance these are the only 2 games they'll play this weekend. I just looked at the weather forecast for Bloomington and it looks really wet both Sat. and Sun. I don't know how good the drainage system is but with all the rain Bloomington had earlier in the week, I can't think the field can take a whole lot more this soon.

Saturday night is the Ball Is Life All-American game. Do we know if De'Ron will be able to play? There is supposed to be a live feed for this game that will be posted tomorrow.

Recap of Jarred Vanderbilt (Houston Hoops) at EYBL in Indy – April ‘16: 4/22 – Lost to Nike South Beach 82 – 75. 14 pts. on 6 of 12 from the field; 0 for 2 on 3’s; 2 of 6 FT’s; 5 reb; 2 assists’ 3 stls; 3 TO’s. 4/23 – Lost to E1T1 United 79 – 77. 12 pts. on 6 of 11 from the field; no 3’s or FT’s; 6 reb; 5 assists; 3 stls; 2 TO’s. 4/23 – Beat Mean Streets 69 -57. 8 pts. on 4 of 12 from the field; 0 for 1 on 3’s; no FT’s; 13 reb; 3 assists; 1 stl; 2 TO’s. 4/24 – Lost to King James 65 – 48. 9 pts. on 4 of 12 from the field; 0 for 2 on 3’s; 1 of 6 FT’s; 9 reb; 2 assists; 1 stl; 4 TO’s. Lousy free throw shooter hitting only 3 of 12 and I'm not kidding when I say I think I could still hit more than that with my eyes closed even at my advanced age. Also interesting he didn't even get to the line in 2 of the 4 games.

Maybe yes, maybe no; I have no idea. That's why I was very careful to cite where it came from and regardless if it's fake or not it is absolutely hilarious.

From Eric Bossi, this is a purported statement from Tunsil's agent. LOL

Doubleheader today starting at 3:05. Third game of the 3-game series is still TBA. Radio: http://whcc105.com/ TV: BTN2Go Stats: http://www.sidearmstats.com/indiana/baseball/ Other Good Stuff: http://sidearm.sites.s3.amazonaws.com/iuhoosiers.com/documents/2016/4/28/4_29_Northwestern.pdf

So maybe the odds aren't as long as I thought they might be?

2016 AAU stats: 8 games - 13 ppg; 44% from the field; 40% on 3's; 75% FT's; 4 reb/game; 3 ass'ts./game; 2 TO's/game. http://www.theuaassociation.com/stats/team_instance/1691413?subseason=269863&tab=team_instance_player_stats&tool=1720648

Never seen him play and all I know about him is the stats he put up last season and the fact he plays on the PocketCity AAU team. This was tweeted a day or 2 ago and I found it interesting that the list of 2016 commitment schools was overall pretty weak and so I have to wonder if Nunge is really an IU caliber player based on where the '16 kids are going to play college ball.
