Me seeing todays slate 

 

What? You don't want to watch UConn squeak one out by 60 over Stonehill?

[Hoosier987 1,149]

Watching Knecht is a kick in the nuts. The one skillset this team needs… He may end up being an All American.

Bradley/Utah St probably game of the night.   
 

interesting stat on Stonehill who recently became D1.   Stonehill beat Army by 13.  George Washington beat Stonehill by 45.    IU plays Army tomorrow

I was more surprised to see that Army only scored 44 points against Stonehill...

Army has shot 31% from the floor in their 1st 2 games. Not on 3’s, combined.

Like I said, I don’t really follow recruiting that well. I thought we had a visit scheduled? Or rumors we led or something…I dunno.  Either way, I am not taking a shot at our staff. More of a “what-if.” At least we were smart enough to target him, I guess. 
 

It’s just a testament to how crazy the recruiting portal is. Between him this year and KSU’s haul last year, I don’t even know how you would begin to reliably account for it in the preseason models and predications. 

As far as I know, IU was never able to get the visit scheduled. They wanted him but he didn't seem to reciprocate that interest.

Had some zoom calls but never got him on campus.     For me a recruit has to step foot on campus before I get to invested in their recruitment

Bellarmine, Nov 29.

When the locals see them use to a school they all probably assume is still a D2 school, that'll be curtains.

And 2nd year in a row, no less. 
Side note: It’s hysterical how quickly the Derik Queen narrative for Maryland fans has become how he didn’t sign with them because of how Kevin Willard, who was a UL Asst like 15 years ago, will be going to Louisville. Yeah, that’s exactly what’s gonna happen.

The Willard/UL noise sounds to me like contract jockeying from Willard’s agent more than anything. Maybe KW has interest, but would not guess he’s too high on their shortlist. Billy Donovan, if he’s looking for a soft landing and/or the Bulls rebuild? Jerome Tang or Dusty May making a leap? Scott Davenport, Ryan Odom, some other guy not top-of-mind with more recent juice? All seem as likely or moreso to get a sniff before Willard

Oh, for sure. Willard’s not a candidate there. May would certainly make sense. Personally, even with Tang’s age as a factor I’d make that guy an offer he can’t refuse. Temperamentally, he’s perfect for a rebuild like that.

This is a case where on both sides  it doesn’t make any sense for either.   Willard was a Pitino guy and has publicly expressed how he felt about Louisville after  they let Pitino go and why on earth would Louisville settle for a coach that hasn’t done anything in the post season in his entire career.  Louisville could and will do better then him.

I doubt Billy Donovan ever comes back to college.
