Indiana (historically) doesn't have to cheat to compete, but, as with those cheating schools, we've still gotta have a great coach!

I'm hoping we have that solved now, for the next 3 decades.

All of the blueblood schools cheat and usually do the best. Plus, when they get caught the NCAA waits to really punish SMU or other school. Living in the gray areas just has to be done if you want 5 star players that win championships. That and plausible deniability.

Don't forget, that's where Isaiah Stewart plays.   

Yuuuuuup. I’d love to have the player, but i don’t like the background. All of these basketball schools feel shady.

That isn't even required anymore. UNC basically said "yeah, so we pretended to educate athletes to gain competitive advantage, that's none your business NCAA" and won. Pathetic.

Tyler Hansborough is one of the 5 best ever at UNC? He was a very good college player- but that's silly. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,359]

Wonder if he knew he had some problems and that was a part of not aggressively pursuing the NBA job?

 

University of Michigan Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics Warde Manuel announced this morning (Tuesday, Aug. 7) that U-M’s David and Meredith Kaplan men’s basketball coach John Beilein underwent a successful, scheduled double bypass procedure at U-M’s Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center.

Beilein’s scheduled procedure was performed by Michigan Medicine’s Francis D. Pagani, M.D., Ph.D., at the Frankel Cardiovascular Center. He is set to leave U-M hospital in a few days and is expected to be fully active by the start of season.

“Coach Beilein underwent a two-vessel coronary bypass graft surgery Monday morning,” said Pagani, program director for the Michigan Medicine Center for Circulatory Support and surgical director of the adult heart transplant program. “The procedure is designed to improve blood flow to the heart, by taking a healthy artery or vein from another part of the body and grafting it to the obstructed coronary artery. The operation went well, and we expect him to make a full recovery and be back to his usual activities within a few weeks.”

“We are extremely grateful John’s proactive procedure was a success and that he is resting comfortably with Kathleen and his family,” said Manuel. “This university community is remarkably interconnected — from doctors, to professors, to our coaches. It is truly a place of the Leaders and Best. All of us within the Athletic Department cannot wait for John’s return.”

“I feel grateful and blessed that this surgery was performed at the University of Michigan,” said Beilein. “Kathleen, and our family appreciate all of the world-class care that was provided for us. Dr. Kim Eagle, Dr. Francis Pagani, Dr. Stanley Chetcuti and all of their staffs at the Frankel Cardiovascular Center are so talented and performed like champions over this past week. I am going to work very hard in my rehabilitation to be stronger than ever by the time practice begins for this upcoming season.”

With Beilein’s recovery he will not attend the Wolverines trip to Spain, Aug. 17-26. However, it remains scheduled with assistant coach Saddi Washington serving as U-M’s interim head coach, along with assistants Luke Yaklich and DeAndre Haynes.

Beilein completed his 11th season in Ann Arbor and his Wolverines are coming off a program-record 33 win campaign (33-8), a second straight Big Ten Tournament title and a run to the Final Four, and national title game — a second trip in the last six years.

Already U-M’s all-time leader in wins with 248, Beilein has compiled a career record of 799-461 (.628) during his 41 years as a collegiate head coach. In 11 seasons in Ann Arbor, U-M has made eight NCAA Tournament appearances with four Sweet 16 (2013, ’14, ’17, ’18), three Elite Eight (2013, ’14, ’18), two Final Four and national title game (2013, 2018) runs.

UCLA reinstated Jaylen Hands and Cody Riley from suspension. (Last year theft).

Shareef O’Neal reclassified and joins 5 star Moses Brown as part of a 6 man recruiting class.

Wilkes returns as does Prince Ali, I believe.

I guess Alford is going all in. Tons of talent on that roster.

Hands wasn't a part of the theft. He played all year. He and Wilkes both tested the waters.

Suspended players were Riley and Jalen Hill.

They should be really talented this year but Alford isn't good enough to capitalize on it. If anything may continue to buy him an extra year or two. He can also thank the Sean Miller fiasco for gifting O'Neal.

Don't know if he won the Wooden award like Hansbrough, but I would've gone with Brad Daugherty at the 5.

School’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder and a guy that won a natty and went to another Final Four and Elite Eight absolutely should be on the list in my opinion.

Several Crystal Ball picks in for Armaan Franklin to Purdue. Including Jerry Meyer.

If Purdue gets Franklin, Gillis, Newman that’s a cool class. Not blue blood material but a heckuva class.

Franklin 128, Newman 111

 

BTW that Stauskus type kid Michigan just got clocks in at 66. Bajema. They also have a kid in the 30-40 range.

Except for the fact that Gillis just had his second knee surgery and may not play in the near future.

He seems like a REALLY high character young man. Not a good sign, or what anyone ever wants to see.
