I think Sheehey’s senior year was less enjoyable to watch than any of Archie’s teams. That team was horrendous. Vonleh was the only bright spot. 

Crean misused that roster about as badly as one could. Not that it should have been a great team, but the talent was there for an NCAA tourney birth. We weren't the only B1G team to lose a lot of talent either. And we had Yogi, Sheehey and Vonleh.

When coaches talk about recruiting parents, this is what they’re talking about.

Just like Troy Williams'  moms, right?

That is a bummer, I’ve collected them since 1990 and it’s always had the schedule.  I like it on there

Did they IU - Auburn game tickets go on sale this morning?  I got an email from the site saying tickets would go on sale at 10am today but it seems it may be the other game.  Firewall blocked me from checking here at work so navigating on the phone it appeared to be the other game.

Didn't know where to put this

Just go to 1:15 and watch Ware’s reaction.

Jordan Rayford and Jackson Creel added to the roster as walk-ons.

Surprised Rayford is walking on. He had some other D1 offers out of HS, and surely could have landed somewhere else on scholarship. 

Makes sense for us obviously. Get what appears to be a high quality kid, with skills above your standard walk-on, but doesn't take a spot for multiple years...especially with the 2024 kids we are on.

Love this as a walk-on spot.  Why not.

NIL changes everything. He could get a scholarship and go play somewhere else buy very likely can make more here in NIL and pay for college
