Michigan State is so overrated at #1. Tough to determine a preseason #1 though with all the departures. lol @ Keion Brooks' stat line in the first half. No one even looks to pass it to him @KeionBrooks hope it was worth it.

Kansas and Duke both look like they're ranked about 10-15 spots too high.

Man my illegal online stream is really lagging. I hate you BTN.

Al Durham has 15 pts? Never thought I'd see that, but man I'm excited to see him play this year.

That's good news but he's still visiting Marquette. Or is he implying there's a chance he cancels that visit?

Rob hasn't practiced all October. There's no way to spin this one - it's bad news. The season hasn't even started yet but our starting backcourt is already on the mend. Yikes, just when I was starting to let a little optimism for the season seep in.

I've heard we've cooled on Furst, hence the visit from Patterson. I think Kaufman is plan A and Patterson is next up. For some reason the staff isn't quite sold on Furst, per what I just read this week on TOS.

AKA, he's not getting suspended. Hilarious, great job Hurley.

This dude is legit. I would be so stoked if he committed at or following the visit. If we get him, the days of our bigs being 6'7" are so gone.

Maryland's ceiling is a Sweet 16 as long as Turgeon is there. I don't trust him at all to manage talent.

This feels like another case where we all get excited about a recruit that IU gets in on late, takes an official visit, then goes somewhere else. It's been quite a while since we've won one like this for a top 50 guy from out of state. I can't help but feeling like I'm getting my hopes up only for him to choose Marquette.

Not sure if this has already been discussed, but Purdue has whiffed on all their main big 2020 targets now that Hunter Dickinson eliminated them. Painter's never figured out how to turn a good season into consistently solid recruiting classes.

We went to 2 consecutive bowl games for the first time since the early 1990s, then fired the coach. Since then we haven't been back to a bowl game. Haven't even beaten freakin' Purdue. Couldn't even do it at home against a 5-6 rival when the post-season was on the line for both teams. What does it even mean to be "at least as likely to go to a bowl game this season"? We've gone to like 4 bowl games in 20 years. We're never likely to go to a bowl game. Recruiting has picked up, sure, but since when have you cared about national rankings? I have yet to see that translate to W's.

High school coach is a stupid argument, but... He started at the high FBS level in 2012 as the linebackers coach for Mississippi, and held that job for 3 years. One of his previous jobs was in NAIA Lambuth University, which doesn't even exist anymore. After that went to Drake which is FCS, then to Arkansas State. Spent 1 year as the Defensive Coordinator for South Florida in the AAC. Then all of a sudden is the head coach of a B1G program. It was an awful hire, and we've gone nowhere but backwards since he took the helm.

Well, I'd say there's one less program we have to worry about when it comes to recruiting. Zero chance anyone ranked highly in the 2020 class commits there now under this cloud.

Could take a bigger blow if Jaden Ivey decides to open it back up, as is being rumored.

I hope Kansas gets the book thrown at them and pay dearly. One of these cheating programs has to get theirs. Preferably not the Auburn, Oklahoma State, Miami type programs.

Hopefully Brooks goes pro after his freshman season lol. Kid will never see the court.

Duke doesn't have to pay players. Recruits would turn down money offered by other schools all for the prestige of playing for Coach K and that storied program.

Because I work for a huge company with plants in South Bend and there's an IT request to add a new user for someone named Damezi Anderson at a plant 2 miles away from Riley HS. Probably just a weird coincidence, but I haven't been that tuned in this summer so I was just making sure I didn't miss news he left or something.

Not trying to cause trouble, but is there news on Damezi Anderson that I missed? Is he still on the team?

Nice, I like adding a kid who is definitely on the rise. Does this mean we can't take Cross now? Pretty sure we can, don't think they play the same position. I honestly haven't been following this guy's recruitment that much, but I've like what I have read and seen.

So we spend money and make money like the big boys, we just can't get the results like the big boys.

Dakich's tweet probably has something to do with Knight visiting IU in an official capacity. Maybe Hoosier Hysteria or something like that. Just a guess of course.

Everything I've read is that Davis is getting beaten badly in practice. It doesn't sound like he'll start.
