mdn82 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I'm not sure, exactly. I know it's mostly a measure of how scholarship athletes perform academically; and I THINK it matters if the kids who leave are in academic trouble....meaning they were struggling. Lots of schools have kids leave for myriad reasons, so I don't believe it's an issue...but I truly don't know.You are correct. As long as they complete the school year and leave on good academic standing it isn’t an issue or I think we would have saw a lot of this go down in January.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Old Friend 1 Quote

Popular Post Chris007 Posted April 4, 2019 Popular Post Posted April 4, 2019 My goodness after reading all of the posts from last night, it must have been a wet Wednesday with some mid-week drinking. Jake was a reach, to begin with, and if he couldn't get any time on the floor during a losing streak then it was best that he moves on. Race was in concussion protocol for over a month and came back to pass him on the depth chart immediately. You need 3 maybe 4 good big men to compete in the Big Ten. We have Davis, Brunk :-), TJD and Thompson. Everyone calm down. Meetings will be over by the end of the day so this might be the last one besides Romeo.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Everyone thought Quinones was a Memphis lock after his visit a few weeks ago. Time passed and he didn't commit, to the surprise of many. Then he schedules his official to Indiana, and this thing is real. Two nights ago he was on Instagram Live and listed his top 4 as Indiana, Memphis, Maryland, and Michigan.

Popular Post pumpfake Posted April 4, 2019 Popular Post Posted April 4, 2019 As this disappointing season finally came to an end, to varying degree, we were clamoring for changes. Now we are seeing just that. In my view Archie spend the first season getting his feet under him and began teaching his concepts of play (to an entire roster of players unfamiliar with it). I believe he had to "spare the rod" to an extent because of the learning curve. That time is over, and he knows what he has and what needs to be improved. He knows his job is to win and he will have to take some steps that may be unexpected or unpopular - he knows his job will be evaluated on results. We don't have to agree with or even like his strategy, but he's the one with skin in the game yogisballin, ALASKA HOOSIER, HinnyHoosier and 8 others 10 1 Quote

He was terrible but archie must have seen something not to play jake. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Jake was a horrible defender. And a freshman. Fitzner was not terrible defensively; rebounded okay, and could guard without fouling. Forrester could not do that and was frequently out of position. Lots of fans look at points and base their opinion solely on that statistic or maybe one or two more. Forrester averaged almost 11 fouls per 40 minutes. That's a pretty big number. He was also a freshman. Not long ago, it was common to redshirt freshmen because many aren't ready for college basketball. Especially in a physical league like the Big Ten. Now? Expectations of fans, and apparently parents are that players come in, play big minutes, and contribute right away. Some - Zion Williamson - are ready to do that. Most - Anderson, Forrester, Moore (even 2 years removed from high school) are not. If Forrester is a kid who thought he should be playing over a senior....who he did not out play; that's on him. Fitzner was what he was; but he did some things much better than Forrester did. ALASKA HOOSIER, Str8Hoosiers, mookied39 and 10 others 12 1 Quote
