Stockrisers - Preparing to watch DeMatha v St. Frances this morning in a battle between two DMV programs. One prospect to watch for DM is four-star junior Rodney Rice. He caught up with Stockrisers.com the other day and said the following on his recruitment: Alabama, Georgetown, Indiana, and Louisville are heavily involved in his recruitment. He will likely commit next year.

Some programs must just be making a token effort to avoid the virus. We've not lost a football or basketball game because of a problem in our program and then there's Nebraska. Nebraska's next two games -- vs. Minnesota (1/20) and at Iowa (1/24) -- have been postponed, per release. School says at least 30% of Tier 1 personnel has been confirmed positive in the last seven days, and 12 individuals are in isolation/quarantine due to positive test results.

New thread to represent Keyarah's commitment to IUWBB. Previous posts about Keyarah will be moved from the recruiting thread.

Supergirl couldn't carry her team alone tonight and Rockmart lost to Loganville 62 - 39. Berry finished with 27 pts; 7 reb; 4 stls; 1 blk. Learned that Rockmart's win over Lafayette Friday night went to OT with Rockmart rallying from a double digit deficit to pull it out in OT. Per Jeremy Price Berry's now just 44 points shy of 3,000 for her career and he posted this video.

Can't watch him in any actual game action, but here's a 2 min. scrimmage video. He's #5 in blue.

After the start of her season was delayed due to COVID-19, her opening game was set for Thursday the 14th and it got canceled because of winter storm Malcolm. Finally she got to play last night but Mankato East defeated John Marshall 62 - 56 despite Meister scoring 35 points which from the limited box score only included 1 made 3.

From this morning's Indpls. Star his 18 pts. included going 4-6 from the 3-point line.

Tonight at 7:30 ET, ESPN will televise Montverde Academy vs. IMG Academy. Both teams are currently undefeated and IMG is the last team to have beaten Montverde back in 2019. We have offers to Williams #11 and Jalen Hood-Schifino #24 neither of whom appears to see much playing time with both averaging around 12-14 minutes/game. The Montverde starting 5 consists of 4 seniors already committed to D1 schools: Baylor, Creighton, Dayton and Michigan so the real opportunity to see what Hood-Shifino and Williams can do will come next season. Based on minutes played, they are the first 2 players off the bench.

Westfield lost to Plainfield 69 - 60. Westfield trailed by 22 at the end of 3 quarters and mounted a furious 4th Q comeback but it wasn't enough. Smith finished with 18 pts. and 8 assists.

After finally being able to start its season, DeMatha moved to 3-0 with a 76 - 59 win over Blue Majic (VA) the club name that John Marshall HS (VA) plays under to skirt virus restrictions. Rice played 13 min. scoring 8 pts. on 4-7 FG; 0-1 on 3s; 3 reb; 1 asst; 1 stl; 1 TO.

I agree with Doc. Having watched several of his games, Gunn is not a difference maker and will not be an impact freshman.

Simmons-Harvey Invitational taking place this weekend at U. of Michigan with both IU men and women participating. Full summary at: https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/1/16/track-and-field-hooisers-set-records-at-simmons-harvey-invitational-on-saturday.aspx?fbclid=IwAR2iJJMRWVo0SRW6kGsrVGD2JhF7v1qdafEP3NvBrOTN1Pk8Uzp7YEniyEk Couple of highlight performances. Nathan Stone wins his first collegiate meet of his career after clearing a height of 5.07m (16' 7.5")! Grayson Rolen takes second in the triple jump with a PR of 14.04m (46' .75")! He is Scott Rolen's nephew. Micah Camble wins 600m with a PR 1:20.50. New PR and ties the Simmons-Harvey Invitational meet record. New meet record.

Bite your tongue.

Championship game of the Marion County Tournament with Lawrence North facing Warren Central and LN remained undefeated with its usual come from behind script for a 59-56 win. Gunn finished with 18 pts. He had 8 pts. in the 1st Q and 12 at the half after sitting out a good portion of the 2nd Q with 2 fouls.

I had to Google Matta. There's no way I would have thought he was just 53 years old. Crap, he could be my kid.

IMO Calbert wants no part of college basketball and the NCAA. He's been there; done that.

And reports were the concession stand turned a profit. lol At the risk of offending some of our membership, I wonder if we could give her a crewcut, a tightly binding bra, tell her not to shave her legs and put her on the men's team next season.

Season opening meet at home against Michigan and Northwestern. Men win both defeating Michigan 173 - 127 and defeating Northwestern 241 - 59. Women beat Northwestern 177 - 117 but lose to Michigan 174 - 126. Some highlighted performances. 1,000 Free: 1. Michael Brinegar - 9:04.03 2. Mikey Calvillo - 9:07.32 Tomer Frankel wins the 200 Freestyle with a time of 1:36.40. This was his first collegiate event. Jacob Steele wins the 100 Back with an NCAA B Cut time of 47.38! Brendan Burns wins both the 100 and 200 fly. Mikey Calvillo wins the 500 free. Anne Fowler in her freshman debut wins both the 1-meter and 3-meter dives. Noelle Peplowski wins the 200m breaststroke Andrew Capobianco and the warning "do not try this at home" How is this even possible?

Thanks for clarification. I'll admit I'm still feeling the sting of Thursday night and not in an overly benevolent mood. By nature I'm not a patient person and Archie's product is starting to wear thin.

Greatly appreciated. From the games I've watched, he's not a good ball handler and that's where his TO's mostly arose.
