Just need to drink more beer...

Hate these vague posts They're meaningless. If you have some info that you can share, just share it. If you can't, then don't. You sound like a magic eight ball...

Actually, change that to a few 3-stars and lower 4-stars, and you've basically got Purdue's formula. It may not have worked very well in the tourney, but it works like gangbusters during the regular season for them. I guess the question is, will it continue to work given the increased player movement each year?

Devries is such a f*cking failure as a recruiter. LOL

It was?

This. A huge part of a coach's job now is to handle each school's recruiting "cap." Unless you're a school that can keep going back to boosters over and over again for specific recruits, you've got to be able to manage your recruiting resources in smart Bill Belicheck kind of way. That means letting players go if they're either not producing or too expensive. This is going to be especially tricky for someone in DDV's situation, given that he's got to fill the entire roster and that the player's salaries seem to have grown quite a bit this year. I don't envy him...

Yep. Duke is a very large mountain to climb this year.

Conwell's dad's family is from L'ville. A bunch of them still live there and he used to visit them a lot there, so he has a lot of familiarity with the city already. I remember reading a couple of articles about that after he commited. They popped into my social media feed.

Your Teams meetings must be wild...LOL

Nah. In both cases, non-money and non-basketball issues won out. IU has absolutely zero control over those issues. You can only control what you can control.

Well-played, sir. Well-played...LOL

I hear that Carlyle is a high-volume scorer too...LOL

Too early in the work day for that...

It's based on his past history. Very past history...LOL

Oh, I know you were kidding, but they must be laying out a ton of cash this season. I wasn't joking about that...
