It didn't work well for Michael Jordan's genes vs BAM

Don't forget Patrick Ewing's genes and Doc Rivers genes v Mike Davis andTom Crean.

What's the difference?

One is for underclassmen

I don't remember too much about Pat Ewing Jr other than the crazy behind the back jam at Midnight Madness... But for some reason, I always like Jeremiah Rivers. Why? I don't know. I've never really had a reason but I guess anyone willing to have played on those Crean teams should be given some respect IMO.

Why would it matter if someone other than an underclassman withdraws from the draft?

The answer is no. But what this team will probably do is age him about 10 years due to the sky expectations combined with the fact that his highest rated recruit has coach-killer written all over him and his 2nd highest rated recruit has a father whom I have been reliably told is a problem.

Booker finished at #14. Wasn't he up in the top 5 about a year ago?

So Fears isn’t going to react well getting maybe 15 minutes per game as Walker and Hoggard’s backup.

Booker is like Ware only thinner, shorter, younger, and hasn’t yet learned lessons the hard way. I’ll take our new guy all day every day.

Fears might be alright with it, from what I gather he’s an ok kid, but I doubt it’s a coincidence that after the family visited Bloomington IU stopped recruiting him. A friend of mine in a position to know described dad, charitably, as “a handful.” Fears left Brad Beal Elite for Mokan without any kind of heads up and they weren’t sorry to see him go. 
Booker will be a fascinating follow. That kid has the all-time range of outcomes. And, yeah, I would take sophomore Ware over freshman Booker, no question.

At 1 point ESPN had him #1.

MSU has a great roster though. 
 

Walker and Hall are proven gamers.  Hoggard too, to a lesser degree.  Akins is a dog.  Sissoko is a dog.  Therefore anything they get out of the Freshman class is a bonus.  I mean chemistry issues are possible but Izzo somehow finds a way to work it out.  
 

Im keeping my eye on Illinois and hoping they don’t get Hawkins, TSJ back then add RayJ.

Three thorn in Indiana's sides (Goodman, Harper Jr, and Dakich) going at each other.
 

The more Dakich tweets his idiotic rants, the less I like him

Just saw that IUPUI will no longer exist in a year. It will be IUI(Indiana University of Indianapolis). They just hired a new AD and heard him on the radio and  president Whiten is behind the athletic department for this campus

I wanted IUPUI to become University of Indianapolis back in the day. It seemed like the perfect fit. Give what IU has invested there, I never realistically thought it would happen. Don't mind kicking the Purdue part out though.

Hate to see that. Normally I like seeing kids come back to school but not in the big ten except for our players.

I think Hawkins will too. Illinois will be solid again if so.
