  1. BBN will have a meltdown reminiscent of Three Mile Island if that happens and somehow find a way to blame John Higgins.
  2. Carlino was highly ranked early, but the more he played in AAU the more his stock dropped. We really didn’t miss out.
  3. Pete and RePete sat on a fence. Pete fell off, so who is left?
  4. Don’t forget that player who didn’t shoot well until his junior year had a pretty significant wrist injury, along with other injuries. Plenty of elements involved with some guys who historically performed decently shooting the ball.
  5. Taking rushed 3-pt shots In limited minutes is also not an accurate indicator of a player’s ability to hit from long distance consistently. Is college different than high school? Without question. But it’s not like Gunn was playing 6-7 minute stretches in games where he had time to get into the flow of the game and THEN was missing shots. The guy played in what is arguably the best conference in the state and averaged in the high 30 percent range in his junior and senior years. It’s pretty disingenuous to say a guy like that “only connected on 8.3% of his 3-point shots “, don’t you think?
  6. Multiple guns?? He’s gonna fit right in there in Tuscaloosa.
  7. Agreed. Having X back is big in that regard, although Trey will take on a lot of the leadership role this season.
  8. Cupps is as athletic RIGHT NOW as Smith - without the benefit of summer workouts at IU. IMO he’ll be better than Smith, but maybe because of IU’s situation not have the same numbers/minutes.
  9. I think both players are going to surprise a lot of people. Newton had the meniscus surgery, but he should be 100% by the time he gets to IU. Gabe isn’t the athlete Newton is, but he’s very polished. If you could clone both into one player you’d really have something. Both are going to be solid pieces next year and IMO stars during their time as a Hoosier.
  10. Ok, didn’t know if you knew anything more. Thanks.
  11. Where has that been reported? On a message board post, or on his Twitter/IG etc?
  12. Is Knecht dead? Haven’t heard anything about him.
  13. Hey - don’t you dampen our enthusiasm!!
  14. Do we truly know anything about Knecht? @Chris007 have you heard anything?
  15. I can imagine if social media/cell phones existed when some of us were in school - we’d be pariahs . . .
  16. Thanks. As always, appreciate your feedback and tidbits. Please advise if/when a Dalton sighting might occur. lol
  17. You, sir, live in a fantasy world. There is NO SUCH THING as a pure, totally innocent and ethical program within college basketball. You can pontificate all you want and it’s only going to make you look silly. Has Coach Ya deliberately tried to do kids dirty? If your answer is no, then there’s really nothing for you to be b*tching about.
  18. @Chris007 - have you heard anything about a possible OV?
  19. And the player ought to be WORTH the money as well.
