I'm a big believer in profiling what you want and not deviating no matter how much you like a kid, and 5'10" PG's are not my cup of tea. At all. But that kid's just a tough, competitive, winning player.

Sad story. Familiar with Palm from keeping track of Georgia kids. Played with Ace Bailey at McEachern, but didn’t play and wasn’t mentioned in the couple of games I watched last year. Hopefully a suitable donor is available.

Well, this was confusing on so many levels.

Couple of '25 kids with possible IU interest squared off tonight in the championship game of the Indianapolis City Tournament.  Dezmon Briscoe of Attucks vs Brady Koehler of Cathedral in a game won by Attucks 71-68.  Briscoe had a strong second half and scored 9 straight in the 4th.  He finished with 16p, 11r and 4b.  Koehler led all scorers with 27p and added 9r.

Even though they go by KU, it actually is University of Kansas. They just can't get their initials correct.

There’s some weird phenomena where some old Big 12 schools have their initials bass-ackwards. Colorado does it too and I believe there are others.

Yeah. OU is another I can think of off the top of my head.

Video of Fogle killing some non-D1 kids. Guessing he’s closer to 6’7” now. Looks to be a good enough athlete. Makes a couple of deep, deep 3’s. Dishes a couple of assists that show vision. Plays through some contact.

I just came across this article on MSN.  It shows we have offered around 20-30 2025 players and 12 of them are 5 stars. After this year, I really don’t care about the rankings as much anymore; however, I do care if they fit IU’s style of play, which we are all confused on that, have a will to win, have a toughness about them, can shoot, have good fundamentals and have a team first attitude.  Most of these 5 star recruits have 1 agendas and that is getting to the NBA as quickly as possible.  I just wish Woodson would stop recruiting that way.
