    IUBB vs. Marquette 11/14 at 8:30 ET

    Durham really impressing me tonight, seems to have really hit a sophomore bump. LOVE Fitzner.

    Impressive game by Michigan, but Nova is a fringe top-25 team, nowhere near the 8th best in the country. Still, being up by 30 on the road against a top 25 team is pretty impressive.

    De'Ron Davis is....... husky

    (2019) PF Trayce Jackson-Davis to INDIANA

    If MSU lands Hall and Stewart, and we get Brooks and TJD, looks like it's IU/MSU/OSU at the top of the B1G for the foreseeable future. However I would never count out UM. And lol @ Purdue if they miss out on Malik Hall. He was their darling lately, but Izzo looks like he's going to cuck them once again.
  5. Excited that De'Ron Davis got cleared for contact and was able to play 10 minutes. Still not expecting much from him until probably B1G play, but that's a good sign. Hopefully Devonte isn't out for too long. I'd rather we're able to ease Phinisee into the starting lineup rather than force him by necessity.
  6. Undercover as a Sister Jean look-a-like.

    (2019) SF Trendon Watford to LSU

    True, but UK is also going after someone else at that spot who is probably a higher priority. I forget who it is.

    Holy sh1t, I just saw Louisville got Aidan Igiehon, making it their fifth 4* player in the 2019 class. They won't miss a beat at all. Pisses me off that we got taken to the woodshed for freakin' phone calls.
  9. Keion was always going to take his visits, not sure we need to be alarmed here yet.

    Well put. I just can't envision a scenario where people are tuning into a G League game (are they even on anything other than NBA TV?) even if they had Zion Williamson type of players. The games mean nothing, are played in front of a few thousand fans in cities like Fort Wayne, Canton, Westchester, and Sioux Falls to name a few, and don't even get any run time on ESPN. Plus, a $125,000/yr contract paid out over 8 months to a year is a lot less sexy than a $125,000 cash bribe to a lot of these kids' handlers, especially because the former is taxed, while the latter is almost certainly not.

    Sounds like he was set on IU but has become somewhat intrigued with UCLA. Hopefully it's a passing thought, and he comes back down to earth after realizing how far away it is and how much he'd love IU. It probably doesn't matter who the coach is out there. So even if Alford gets fired, UCLA would be no less appealing.

    Yeah the fact Tremont Waters, a kid from the East Coast, would go to a random non-power school like LSU in a football conference should be proof enough that Wade is more than wading into dirty waters.

    Victor Oladipo - Memphis Grizzlies

    Well I think he's a good-hearted person and genuinely wants to do good and help too, but that has nothing to do with supporting one candidate over the other.

    Victor Oladipo - Memphis Grizzlies

    What? Where did I try to tell him how he should live? He's got the right to do what he wants, but I never said I had to like it, nor do we have to listen to it.

    Victor Oladipo - Memphis Grizzlies

    I don't dislike someone who has different political opinions than my own. That would be foolish, and it would cause me to be very lonely. I do, however, dislike sports stars or celebrities who use their status and fame to push their beliefs or candidates onto others, which is what Oladipo did. We all like VO for his accomplishments on the court at IU, not what he does in the ballot box. He appeared at a rally for Joe Donnelly and told everyone within the sound of his voice to "Vote Donnelly". Why should we listen to him? Because he's good at basketball? I hate that crap. And before you ask- YES, I would hate it just as much if he appeared at a rally for Mike Braun, or any other Republican and told us "Vote xxxx" A huge part of what's wrong with this country is celebrities trying to use their status to advance their beliefs onto everyone else, and worse, people who listen to them.

    $2,000/mo. for the Bowens? How poor are they.
  20. There's not a more pathetic fan base in the entire country. So obsessed with their rivals.

    (2019) PF - Zeke Nnaji to Arizona

    lol @ Purdue.
  22. The scrimmage and event is probably the most boring part of their entire official visit. They would rather be hanging with all the current players at someone's apartment, or at Archie's house, at a party, etc, but instead all the players are out on the court. Watching a meaningless scrimmage for a few hours could get pretty boring for them.

    (2019) PF Trayce Jackson-Davis to INDIANA

    Visit is the 5th/6th then probably takes a few days to think about it. The week following his visit is when he announces his announcement date which will probably be the next week. I'm going with October 18 lol.
