Not to get off topic, but personally I would have stayed at Utah Valley another year and checked my prospects next year than take the California job.  Mark Fox is a pretty good coach and he found out how hard it was to win there.

When Devin Askew is arguably your best player... You're gonna have issues.

I’m all for people posting info that they hear. But it’s important for people to be honest about whose info should be listened to. 
 

And besides this isn’t info. It’s idle musing for attention. 
 

Info is something like “ Caleb Love is going to commit this week or next”

Thats very different than 

“I’m hearing we should hear big news about a commitment soon”. 
 

Iirc the first time Chris007 made a prediction was Clif Marshall would be coming on board. It was out there and a bit crazy and then it happened. That was a specific verifiable piece of info.
 

He didn’t say “gonna be real interesting hire for strength and conditioning.”  That’s vague and attention seeking. 
 

If you can’t think of one thing that a person has been right about that’s fine but don’t call what they are peddling info. At best it’s rumors.

Wouldn’t it just be better if people stopped trying to leak “ insider news”? 
95% of the time it’s BS, the other 5% will be known for a fact within 48 hours anyway. It’s such a joke. If you need attention, seek it elsewhere. If you thrive off finding out a day or two before everyone else, get a life. 
I fully enjoy swapping sports opinions and discussing IU athletics but the obsession with recruiting is pathetic and a complete waste of everyone’s time.

Not portal news, but Armaan Franklin his last year and putting his name in the draft.

 I've spent a few hours trying to think of the best way to fix this problem and  think I have come upon a solution. If you don't click on the thread titled, "NCAA MBB Transfer Portal" you easily will avoid a subject you find "pathetic" and beneath you.That way you can save your energy and act superior in infinitely other threads.  If you are really looking to not have your time wasted, I suggest deleting the B'town Banners link and 99% of everything else you look at on the internet.

I read both boards and the crazy thing is he did say it was Love. It was like 3/4 posts later. He also said some crazy stuff is happening the night before all the Love talk started. Said a new name just showed interest.  Next morning was tons of Love talk and mutual interest. 

who know or cares if he is right 

Good post. RTZ has been correct on plenty of recruits/info whatever.. especially football. He certainly doesn't post info for attention.

Sorry. Hunter is definitely moving back East. I won't be surprised to see him at Maryland. But I do believe Love is coming to Bloomington.

The University of Maryland is closer to DeMatha High School (Hyattsville, Maryland) than Georgetown..".right down the block from DeMatha."  Georgetown is starting from scratch after the Patrick Ewing debacle whereas Maryland has good players coming back from a successful first season under Kevin Willard (but no natural center). Transfer players don't necessarily transfer to schools they considered in high school which is what these commentators suggest.

Maryland has me concerned overall. They seem to have nice momentum going and that’s the last thing we need in the DMV. Fortunately lots of other teams in the region who’ve been down are hot schools with new coaches so more competition at least. Maryland has the cash to be a problem overall, and we don’t need anymore top end challengers in the B1 G.

Teams’ talent levels rise and fall.

Maryland and Rutgers seem to be rising, Iowa, Wisconsin, Penn State seem to be falling.

I know that. I'd just take him.

And who knows? If Maryland gets Dickinson, it could flop. Young, Dickinson and Reece sounds like a great group, but how well do Reece and Dickinson play together? How does that work offensively. 

You just never know. Remember that Maryland team that had Trimble, Stone, the Suluiman (sp?) and Layman? They were really good with Layman at the 4 and that core group. 

The next year they added that transfer at the 4, I think from Georgia Tech maybe? But, that pushed Layman to the wing, taking away his advantage of being defended by 4's the previous season, and the transfer 4 and Stone didn't really mesh. 

They had a decent season, but weren't close to being National Title contenders that they were touted to be. 

Long story, short, the pieces don't always fit.
