    State of Recruiting/Do Rankings Matter?

    http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaab/eye-on-college-basketball/25405785/oklahomas-lon-kruger-continues-to-be-one-of-basketballs-best-head-coaches Interesting article on Lon Kruger and what he has done with his last 4 recruiting classes. Personally it is refreshing to see programs succeed while not having to recruit the one and done method. I'm not saying one way is better then the other I just thought some of you might enjoy this article

    agree I wouldn't bet against Kansas winning it again but I think Oklahoma has the experience and pieces to contend this year

    they were taking contested 3 after contested 3. Oklahoma will challenge Kansas for the big 12 this year. Oklahoma is a legitimant final 4 contender

    vandy still has to play Dayton and Purdue. Tough non conference schedule. No shame in losing a true road game to a top 25 team with a chance to win at the end

    certain players leave the program( Ronnie Johnson) and ever since Purdue has been better. Good for painter recognizing certain players were not buying in and changing the culture

    THE GOOD AND THE BAD: DUKE

    my question would be should a team with 3 McDonald's all Americans and a player projected as a possible 1st rounder in a draft be unranked?

    so in your opinion in the history of college basketball no amateur player should be held accountable for their actions off the court or their actions on the court because the coach should hold them accountable and is to blame. Like pap I can't believe I'm defending a person I think should coach at a lower level program but in my opinion the blame should be equally on all parties involved. In my opinion the difference between players today at some programs compared to players in the past are they don't hold themselves accountable and take ownership for their own actions like they have in the past. Maybe it's a generation thing

    i love watching old iu games. My iu tradition is before the start of every college basketball season I break out the vcr tapes and watch iu's 6 games in the 1987 tournament. even though I know the outcome that Lsu game to get to the final 4 makes me nervous

    Indiana vs Duke Game Thread

    those might look like bad loses now but if those teams are in the top 100 rpi at end of the season those loses won't be bad loses according to the committee ( I still think they r bad loses just like e Washington last year rpi top 100 loss ). At the end of the day we r going to need to beat top level teams at some point in the schedule whether out of conference or in conference to build a resume.

    i hear you but until the committee uses ken Pom, the rpi number is the only one that counts when it comes to comparing resumes to make the tournament
