Anyone see this video of Lamelo Ball on Twitter today?

Honestly though his dribbling is slick when he's not turning it over.

So bad lol. He's the kind of player that makes his teammates give no effort because they know they won't see the ball. 

Lonzo's the only one of the three that'll make the NBA imo. The other two will get crushed by their dad's hype. You could tell the guys on the other team wanted to go after Lamelo every possession.

The one clip said "when your 2k profile is 55 but you're a shooter".

Jalen Lecque is a freakish 2019 PG from Southern Stampede. Durhams buddy. Rising into 5 star territory. Wonder if we reach out at some point.

Thad Matta and O$U AD Gene Smith are having a joint press conference at 2 pm. No headline for the presser given yet.

If Thads out is it too late to let kids out of their NLI. And if not wonder if we make a run at their 4 star center

Maybe it's something along the lines of '17-'18 will be my last season?

[WayneFleekHoosier 50,159]

Shocking how much O$U has crumbled last few seasons considering Thad's career.

Also, could end up being very unique/lucky timing regarding Archie.

Lastly Bazleys recruiting comment and stance would be so demoralizing to a program.

Very curious to hear this news.

Sources: Matta to announce he will retire after one more year

A pair of sources have confirmed to Bucknuts.com that OSU basketball coach Thad Matta will coach one more season and then retire. An announcement is expected at 2 p.m.

[Brass Cannon 25,176]

Wow I would be very annoyed if I was an incoming recruit

[Class of '66 Old Fart 88,167]

And it certainly isn't going to help '18 recruiting unless they're also going to announce who his successor will be or at the very least when they hope to announce who his successor will be.

Solid job by Thad Matta lasting just long enough so Ohio State couldn't go after Archie Miller. Fist bump from Hoosier faithful.

[LamarCheeks 21,250]

According to the OSU website, Matta is finished as of now. He won't even coach next season. 

[Brass Cannon 25,176]

Well he's done we should make a run. Kid is from Ohio Archie has to know him. 

If we don't get Moretti that is. Still think PG is our biggest need

He gone!  

...Athletic director Gene Smith said a conversation between him and Matta led to the determination that a change was needed.

"I felt comfortable after the season when I sat down with Thad that we had a plan. Recruiting is a major part of it, and we weren't winning the recruiting battles," Smith said. "As we started talking about it Friday, the flow of the conversation took me to the realization as I said to him, 'This might be the time to make a leadership change,' and he agreed."

He committed 2 years ago and prob hasn't been on anyone's radar lately. Probably wide open as far as where he could go and adding a kid like him could change our prospects for next season dramatically. He's rated 6th best center in the class.

That 4 star is 6'9" 300+ according to his profiles.

Yes. So on paper Deandre-esque but believed to have better skills

IPFW to play at UK next season on the anniversary date of knocking off our beloved Hoosiers.

 

I got UK and whatever the spread is.

Indiana outside looking in. No surprise. We will have zero critical acclaim entering this season.

I still like our top 7-8 guys, but Our top end isn't strong enough to really compete at the top level.
