Greenwood plays at Jefferson City, OG’s old haunts, Dec 12th. I reached out to the school last week and as of then they were planning on allowing 20% capacity into a gym that seats, if I remember it correctly, about 2500. So 500 or so. I’m debating driving over for that one. I’ve dm’d a few times with Harmon and would like to meet him in person. 

Maybe I’ll just go ahead and close this one for Archie.

Always be closing! Make sure to give him some IU bumper stickers.

They only cost Hanner and Jurkin, what, 9 games? Small price to pay.

Story more on what Aminu's done and not about his recruitment.

From what I hear Aminu would still have to pay his own way for a semester if he wants to go early

Heard that too, but Crean’s making moves. Never doubt him. He brought Thon Maker to Hoosier Hysteria, lol. What’s the going rate for OVs? 10k?

Which is hysterical since we fired Sampson for Text messages and had to compromise quality to get somebody squeaky clean

From things I've read, as long as a team has one open, he can go on scholarship right away if he heads to college early. Which makes me wonder if Crean has the inside track now that a Georgia player has "decided" to transfer.

It's not a matter of IF a program is clean or not.  It's a matter of how dirty are they.  I highly doubt even the "cleanest" programs aren't dipping their toes in the mud.  When there is that much on the line coaches and programs are going to find a way to get ahead.  Hell, Creighton is caught up in the fallout of the FBI investigation.  I wouldn't be surprised if they're hammered while others skate.

Aminu's game in tonight's Willard Classic should start around 7:30 ET.  Haven't found any streams, but you can listen to a radio broadcast at https://www.willardschools.net/domain/340

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,958]

Aminu's game against Willard was effectively over early with Greenwood leading at the half 42-26.  Final score was 88 - 62 and Greenwood will play tomorrow night at 9:00 ET in the championship game.

Aminu's stats are the best I could keep listening to the radio announcers so they're not perfect.  He finished with 32 pts. on      14-18 FG almost all of which were dunks or layups.  He was 0-4 on his 3s and 4-7 on FT.  8 reb; 6 asst; 4 stls; 1 blk; 2 TO.

I’d like to point out that Old Fart just listened to an entire radio broadcast of a bad Missouri high school basketball game to keep stats on a recruit to post for you heathens. 
 

Old Fart is a treasure.

As much as I want to hate Sampson and blame him, it’s embarrassing to see Houston top 10-25 every year and to wonder what could have been if we had an admin that wasn’t so worried about PR. I have no doubt we would have been to multiple E8s and beyond had we never got rid of him

What's even more embarrassing is that he was hired because Adam Herbert thought he was black.

That DJ White/Eric Gordon team would have been in the Final 4. 

Follow that up with Armon Bassett and Devin Ebanks.  Those teams would have been really good.

Frustrating.

Agreed, but I wonder if they would have been eligible to play in the tournament.  Tu Holloway was involved in a really disgusting incident at Xavier that would not have played out well here.

My thoughts, would they have passed drug tests administered in the tourney?
