Class of '66 Old Fart

After we've kicked ND's butt from South Bend to Choteau, MT Friday night, Saturday morning hangovers and students on vacation will likely keep the crowd at SSAH in the low double digits. The Choo Choos (8-4) have scored 85+ points in 5 of their 12 games. Not a strong 3-point shooting team at just 31% and allowing their opponents 34%. Preview Radio Live Stats

Thank you. If you've noticed I'm not following and routinely posting game stats for all of our offers because it is meaningless under the present situation. But when I can simply copy and paste a box score without having to spend much time looking for it, I'll continue to do so.

While on his visit last night with his parents.

Tweeted earlier this evening we've extended an offer. 6'3" SG/CG who attends Newton HS in Covington, GA. Rivals has him #90 nationally. Quite unique that his surname is the same as the school he attends. Plays AAU for Atlanta XPress 16U on the UAA circuit. 247 Rivals https://popscoutbball.com/2021/05/12/pospcout-hoops-scouting-report-2023-jakai-newton/ https://yt.d0.cx/watch.php?v=&p=PL9FsodJEhGmp3BPXGtk2-Fafig1nGMQWS

Mike Schumann @ The Daily Hoosier @daily_hoosier Freddie McSwain, Jr. is suiting up on Saturday.

Let's be real people. No hire is a slam dunk guaranteed banner producing coach. It's just like Vegas. You roll the dice and hope.

That hire was almost as bad as a certain university's basketball coach hire.

Shameful they allowed Brian Kelly to stick around long enough as head coach to surpass Knute Rockne's career win total.

I think some time back @Demo said we should go ahead and offer Allen.

Productive 5 min. for Gabe albeit in mop up time.

It is a possibility that he had made it known he had no interest in IU.

Often identified simply as Jenica Raine and attends Johnston HS in Johnston, IA. Haven't found a great deal about her but she is ranked #1 in the '26 class by Top Spot Basketball. She also played in the 17U Great Plains Challenge, a U.S. Junior Nationals Girls Event. @JenicaRaine10 https://www.fivestatehoops.com/news_article/show/1235594

Even with Kiyan Anthony out with an injury, an impressive win for Owasso over LI Lutheran

Neither Jakai nor Gabe were going to see extended minutes but it does reduce our guard pool if we suffer any further injuries at that position.

The Daily Hoosier just tweeted that Jakai had more surgery. Such a promising career. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-guard-jakai-newton-had-surgery-out-indefinitely/

Not a portal player but I'll put it here anyway. Story is behind the paywall.
