The NCAA has turned a blind eye to a lot of things for a number of years. Is it really any surprise that another agency had to step in to start righting this ship?

While so many of these guys want to show us how bad they can be at rapping (which I don't care for anyway) Victor brings back a classic. Donny Hathaway, Aretha Franklin, Leon Russell....the list of great performers who have done this song goes on and on. He actually has a certain amount of Donny Hathaway in his voice and phrasing. Darn nice start Victor!

I know very little about this condition. Could this be something that lingers throughout his career?

Sounds much more feasible to me. Sir, you have regained my trust! (HA! As if that really makes any difference.)

I am going to admit to some ignorance here. Is this kid seriously really that good? Best all-time? I ask because I've never seen him play. I don't look at youtube highlights because mostly they just show guys doing a bunch of dunks, but never show how they play defense, fit within the team, or make their 'mates better. Plus, who is truly going to put any bad games in those clips. So, I ask again. The best all-time? Really? Better than Oscar? Better than McGinnis? Better than.....well, you get the idea. I'm just a bit skeptical of that statement.

Nothing against the kid himself, but I just get an upset stomach every time I see that name.

I'm hearing he has picked up a new nickname out in LA. Hoosier Mamba!

Around here, they just poop on my truck.

Sure it is used in sports. When Isiah was coaching the Pacers he made the comment "We have to many "pretty" players, we need some Dawgs. He was talking about guys who compete until they have nothing left. Guys who battle for every possession. Who are relentless on defense. Who don't back away from a challenge. The Pacers got Ron Artest, who fit the description, but had issues. But that is the basic idea. Another good description is your own signature here on the forum. "You must operate with a level of toughness in everything you do....."

I think you meant Madison Square Garden for that third game. Market Square arena was demolished around 2001 or so.

I went to WLKY's website to see if they had a podcast of his "special". When I did a search for his name, this is all that came up: Romeo Langford among finalists for Calipari's U19 World Cup team Anyone think this might give UK a bit more of a chance with him?

Are you still waiting at the airport for Billy Donovan?

That's his "filled out" look? How skinny was he before? A stiff wind wouldn't blow him over......it just wouldn't even notice he was there.

I meant, Hoosierfan2017 said (two-three posts ago, about an hour or so) he hoped CAM makes an offer to the kid "after tonight's game". From that, I assumed he meant an AAU event currently going on, not a state tourney game from last year. "Tonight" doesn't equal "Last year". Or does it? I'm blaming DST for the confusion.

What game are you talking about? An AAU game somewhere?

That is a really good answer. I like his thought process. Hope he is right.

So, this is like when you can't make a move on a girl who has starting dating a guy you know? Even though you and the other guy don't get along to begin with?

So let me get this straight. It was a horrible, inhuman thing for OSU to contact our currently employed coach (Archie), but it was OK for them to contact another currently employed coach (Holtmann)? Yeah, OK. That makes sense. By the way, wasn't Archie already employed when IU contacted him?

Well, they sure fooled me! Ha! OSU must have come back to him with a pretty sizable increase in salary. I guess we will see if Butler can work their "next coach up" magic one more time.

Why woulld he leave Butler for OSU? With the state of both programs, I'd stay at Butler.

I think it points more towards health reasons being why Motta is leaving.

Sounds like he is a bit fascinated by the idea of playing for Ewing at Georgetown.

No surprise. He always has been one!

Have you ever seen anyone actually clamor? Gotta tell you, it is not a pretty sight.

I don't remember!
