just curious couldn't he of said that he agreed with your statement instead of using "get it" implying that anyone that has a different opinion on the subject doesn't get it (basically saying you don't know what you are talking about)   i have no problem with with fleeks opinion on the topic what i do have an issue with is the approach and little shots hidden in the message.  At the end of the day, We all have the same goal (i hope) that we want our team back at the very top of the mountain, we all  just have different opinions at how we get there. 

gets what exactly? not quite sure why you give a crap if someone else has a different opinion on a topic then you do. Hopefully in the future there will be a topic we see eye to eye on so I can "get it"

if the 8th rated 5 star pf was Chris walker then yes I would rather of had the 132 rated 3 star pf Nigel Hayes

it has nothing to do with being happy with results, I just don't put stock into meaningless rankings. I don't get worked up and take little shots at how bad I would think recruiting is. Even when we had top 10 classes we were still middle of the pack. so we need to keep getting that 5 star talent to finish 7 and 8 in the big 10, I would rather get the right fit ( 6,5,4,3,2,1 star) recruit.

didnt those recruits play in a final four last year?

Wayne did you freak out this much in 2011 when georgia, rutgers, st. johns, seton hall, and missouri made our recruiting look pedestrian by having a higher ranked class then we did. Our ranking in 2011 was 33.   I don't rely on team rankings like some others around here do because i don't think they paint the full picture.    For example the  last 5 team rankings according 247   IU                          mich st           miss st 2011-33                2011-23         2011-14 2012-8                  2012-12        2012-46 2013-6                  2013-74        2013-84 2014-17                2014-50        2014-78 2015-26                2015-18         2015-20     If you go by team rankings IU would be the most consistant of the 3 teams.   Im sure izzo  was more concerned about getting the right people in the system then worrying about the ranking.   His 74 and 50 ranked class made it to a final four.   Iu's lowest team ranking was 33 and i would argue that it was the most important class out of them all (Hello Zeller).    While team rankings are fun to look at and debate i just don't know if they are that important.      If we landed davis, and brown are class would still be ranked lower then  Mississippi states class.   Would that make that class pedestrian?

According to rabjohns crean is visiting Davis today

Hopefully he just actually wants to visit his final schools before he makes a decision. If my child is ever fortunate enough to get recruited by multiple schools for something I would want them to visit in person before making one of the biggest decisions in their lives at that age. You would hope he gets blown away on his visit and commits

They usually play the games on big ten plus on regular big ten network a couple days after the original date. You might have to wait a couple days but you should be able to watch them without plus

From the article from Albers, we originally offered him a scholly in 2013 (so did Arizona). I didn't remember him from the recruiting boards back then

just curious top 10 according to who? Some recruiting magazine on Twitter. How accurate was this recuiting publication in predictimg previous indiana classes. did we even recruit cline in 2015. gelon has a whole year to move up or down those rankings. At one point in time gordon was the highest ranked kid in 2016 well ahead of kids like Guy. Guy got better over the years and didn't feel the love. Virginia made him feel like there number 1 option and iu and others made him feel like a second option according to an article I read when he committed. Here's hopling the gelon works his tail off and gets better like other kids have shown and is a pleasant surprise signing

depends what scouting service you follow rivals didn't have him in their top 100. There was a reason that the kansas vs whicita st game was heated. He committed to whicita st early and then blew up late in his senior year. Kansas offered late and tried to get him to decommit. Kansas never scheduleing them added fuel to fire as well

how about whicita state...... Greg Marshall comment coming

jbj decommitted before he could sign a Loi and when he recommitted he signed shortly after

There is a good article on syracuse.com about bryant and some reasons his mother thinks he picked Iu. looks like mom was still wanting him close to home (can't blame her). I don't know how to post a link

we had a good look it just didn't fall

even in our game against them this year black nailed holt in the back of the head that looked bad

Kansas up 2[attachment=1832:image.jpg] not sure why it's upside down

I hope that worked. Thanks for the help. 55 inch tv to the left , 136 inch movie screen in the middle , 61 inch tv to the right

my favorite time of year. If I knew how I would post a screenshot of the setup

im rocking 3 in the theater room

actually it's like his 8th dirty play this year but yeah whatever

Anyone else glad we missed out on leron black? The kid seems like a head case. Just got a dumb technical that started a Michigan run

you have to come up with 36 at large bids some how. A couple teams that r concidered on the bubble like Miami and Texas a & m r 2-6 against the top 50. (We r 4-8 against top 50)
