Yeah, the quotes coming out of this Clowney visit are more like "the fans are crazy" not "the fans are awesome". This seems like a pretty quiet laid-back kid. I wouldn't be surprised if these idiots scare off another recruit.

The kid reported it on his Instagram. That was enough. Media types reporting that a high school kid has an illness so they can be an "insider" crosses a line for me. Just kind of creepy.

What kind of weirdo reports on a high school kid being sick? Ridiculous.

It doesn't really say anything. Just generalities about the schools and quotes we've already read about IU.

I don't believe that it was even really a thing. I think what you really have is Rabjohns stirring the pot because he had recently said IU wasn't going to recruit Colvin. Now he is creating cover for that comment like this is some shocking development. Woodson knows Colvin's dad. Colvin's dad is interested in his son having a national recruitment. If there was anything Saturday, it was Rabjohns and other media types cackling about it, not anyone that actually matters. Hooks and Booker don't care if they are offered last week or this week. They just finished their sophomore years. Self important people like Rabjohns are just awful for IU with this kind of ginned up negativity to protect their egos.

Probably just so he didn't have to face his former teammates.

Some interesting names I haven't seen. The Nuga kid put up some pretty crazy numbers.

Rabby all but said Stevens was a done deal, and he put Beilein and Moser at the top of his board after Woodson was pretty much a done deal.

That is a great read. I forgot that too.

Really nice to have a free option to read this kind of stuff.

Indiana's rules allow that student to continue to earn a degree for free if they so choose. If the IU degree was their priority, they are welcome to stay and finish. That is why that rule was created. Let the coach make hard decisions while allowing players to keep their options open. The solution is not to force Moren's hand and try to win with subpar talent. She is paid to win within the rules, plain and simple. On a team of 15 you are always going to have a handful of players who are unhappy. Almost every team has a couple transfers per year. now. That five whiners who quit over the last few years have taken to social media really doesn't stand out. It speaks poorly on them and reflects why they couldn't cut it. They are clearly soft.

Until you can actually show something concrete or something from someone on the inside then it all comes off as a bunch of misfits whining because they couldn't cut it even though their mommy and daddy said how awesome they are. There isn't this much depression in the world and frankly I find it infuriating that people are marginalizing REAL depression which is a potentially deadly issue. Depression IS NOT when you are sad because things didn't go your way. For example, one of the tweets talks about how Moren brought in a girl from overseas and then ran her off a year later. You know what, if she wasn't good enough then GOOD. That is exactly what Moren should do. It is her job to win, not coddle marginal players.

I'm sorry, but "depressed" has become a grossly overused word. How much of this is pampered athlete hit their ceiling in college and now they are sad that they are just another person in the world like the rest of us.

Hmmm. I seriously doubt Alec Lasley, whoever that is, has actually watched Trey live. These guys trying to be scouts crack me up.

I couldn't be more impressed with that kid. And I really enjoy Dakich when he is interviewing people. It's just when he is flying solo and looking for attention that he gets bad.

So strange to bring up Durham in this context. He led the team from three at 38%. EVERY team we face is worried about that. The problem is Smith, Brunk and Jackson-Davis, who pose no threat outside the paint. Any combination of those guys on the floor helps the defense, and all three together is a nightmare.

Wow, New Hampton is like IU East.

and yet 18-19 was an improvement on 17-18.

I got a new credit card number once and they still somehow tracked down the new number and started charging again.

It is a hustle to get people to subscribe because they know most people are too lazy to unsubscribe.

So when he is stretches his arms out that is longer than Cody Zeller? That's crazy for someone 6-6.

He and Ballou came from Avon. You can thank Ballou for tanking his alma mater.

I was thinking he shot close to 50% from three as a sophomore but could be misremembering. He is clearly very good inside the arc.

If the staff is compromising with him then they deserve the trouble he is causing. They are enablers.

But people keep subscribing for what reason I have no clue. Haven't missed that rag for a decade. I do remember that I literally had to cancel my credit card to get them to stop charging me though.
