[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

I agree with you rankings aren't the end all be all in the 30-200 range.

For example, I like Justin Smith and Clifton Moore better than Jordan Tucker.

I also agree about College success and NCAA success are different. Of Note. Ben Simmons and Noah Vonleh.

I DO think 5 star players in general are VERY good and getting multiple players like that will make you a winner in NCAA with all other things being equal.

Last thought. Landing primary or secondary targets has always been important to me and I think it reflects on "our/your" program. We start off offering 5 stars, then 4 stars, then 3, then UR. To me, public perception of that is that our staffs recruiting assessments often mirror the corporate ratings. Also, when you miss down the line it's a bad look.

Smith & Moore have huge upsides!! I think both of these guys are gonna make us happy. I could see both being top 50 guys. I don't expect a JBJ or Victor impact but I see them both having a middle of rojo with Moore having potential as a OG, Vic type kid.

Cody out another game.

Good numbers from CWat but limited minutes due to foul trouble.

Sheehey has not played in several games and last night his name did not even appear in the Raptors905 box score.  Don't know if that means anything or not.

Super Bowl Sunday so limited NBA action today.  The only game today with IU guys is Portland at OKC at 3:00.  No D-League games scheduled.

Paul Pierce to play his final game today in Boston Garden.  This is where he stands in Celtic franchise history.  Not too shabby!

[Class of '66 Old Fart 91,268]

Double-double for Victor while his slacker teammate (Westbrook) could only manage a single-double - 42 pts.

No D-League games today for our IU guys and they don't have any scheduled for Monday either.

Pacers with 7 straight wins I believe!

So LeBron misses the wide open layup....... then hits a fade away three off the backboard. Because of course

Sports aren't allowed to make sense anymore. 

[Hoosierfan2017 25,033]

Hopefully this game puts an end to the "Kevin Love for Carmelo" trade rumors. 39 and 12 on 11-17 shooting, 6-10 from three. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,533]

Yogi -26 in 21 minutes tonight so far. 1-4 and 7 points. 3rd quarter.

Dallas was smoked by Denver but Yogi still had a very respectable overall game and at a minimum accounted for 25 of the 87 pts. Dallas scored.

Another bad shooting night for Vic

No D-League games for IU guys.

It won't because friendship > production in LeBrons eyes.

I sure hope not this time. Maybe if Melo was 5 years younger, but now, no thanks. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 91,268]

Mavs win streak came to an end, but Yogi had another steady game and the team was +7 while he was on the court.

Vic's shooting touch re-appeared.

Cody misses yet another game.

Troy with a strong shooting night.

Don't know what to make of Sheehey.  He's still listed on the teams website as on the roster but has not appeared in several games and not even listed in the box score.  And, I haven't seen any kind of injury report on Will.

And by another fluke in scheduling, none of our guys have any NBA or D-League games scheduled for either Wed. the 8th or Fri. the 10th.

I miss when the Pacers actually played defense 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 91,268]

At tonight's Knicks game as if they don't already have enough problems!

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

right when I thought the Pacers were finally a good team they go and play the worst f****ng basketball I've ever seen. Outscored by 22 in the 3rd. 

[HoosierRob 1,042]

Worst game I've seen the pacers play this year. Very disappointing.

I can't stand lebron. All he does is cry
