Yep. I have actually never had a job that requires my KSOB degree.  Product of graduating during the recession maybe but still paying off that piece of paper

Hey I'm an Indiana grad and I don't really care about their academic rep, truthfully, college is a scam.

Undoubtedly you scammed IU to graduate.

Most college degrees don’t teach indispensable technical skills.

College teaches life skills, working with others skills, dealing with adversity on your own skills, networking skills, and suppressing your lesser instincts skills.

Meh.  Depends on profession.

Fair enough. I think fatherhood was a much better teacher of most of those though

Different lessons, but fully engaged fatherhood is uniquely and supremely life important 

[Sardinefarts1991]

Both my 5 and 7 year old sons have autism, and without a doubt fatherhood and how to deal with these 2 monkeys have taught me more than anything my nursing schooling ever did. Lol.   Named my second son, first name Reggie, middle name Miller, last name mine of course.  Doctors and nurses at hospital thought that was funny.  Absolutely love being a parent, nothing to me is even close.  You want to talk about adversity and stress..jeez man.. I've battled so much, no life difficulty can rattle me anymore.  Sorry for the ramble.

 

I'm anxiously waiting for some Caleb love news.  Personally..with Xavier..I think that's one hell of a guard duo hardly any team could handle if they are both clicking.  National title good if both are playing well...

Have to say that Reggie Miller Sardinefarts is a pretty silly name.

Maybe, but the drop out rate of fathers might even be higher than the drop out rate of college students.

I am not on the Caleb Love bandwagon!  I honestly think he was some of that team’s problem and I don’t want that potentially filtering into the IU locker room!

Don’t know whether they go after Love again or not either way I’m fine with it.   No matter what NC problems were last year he played hard and never quit.   Was he inefficient at times? Yep but he played hard every game I watched and that was a lot.     He was one of the few players that wanted to play in the NIT.    Change of scenery does wonders for certain kids.  Love in my opinion fits that description.    Woody is the type of coach I would guess would take a gamble on a kid if it gave him a better chance succeed in March.    Woody gets paid a bunch to make sure he is a plus instead of a negative.

Well said.

Sounds like IU is out of the picture on this 2nd time in the portal. I'm glad for that. He may have been worth the risk before landing Mgbako but I don't think so now.

Texas, AZ, and Gonzaga are who he's looking at now.

Can’t see Love at Texas….already have two six foot guards who will likely start.  6’, 6’ and 6’4” at the 1-2-3 doesn’t sound good

Right, it would basically require someone to take a sixth man role. Maybe you can sell Abmas that any NBA future for him is probably as a Bobby Jackson/Lou Williams type of high-minute bench scoring guard? “Hey, we’ll showcase you in the role you’d play eventually, we think that will boost your stock?”

Yalls obsession with height in college basketball is so weird as if teams are never successful playing 3-4 guards.

rattle off the teams with a high degree of success whose 1-2-3 staters had an average height of 6’1”.

Baylor was literally the best team in the nation 2 years ago and started 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 and 6-5 and their 6th man was 6-3. We just got whooped in the NCAA tourney by a team who played one dude over 6-7. Purdue just lost in the first round to the smallest team in D1. Indiana's last 2 B1G titles didn't start anyone over 6-4 at the 1-3 spots. Hell the last time Indiana was #1 we started 6-0, 6-0 and 6-4. It's college basketball, you can start dudes at the 3 who are 6-3, 6-4 and 6-5, especially if they are good defenders.

Oladipo is in fact listed at 6-4.
