It's weird how Izzo had a little recruiting dip for about 2 years where he missed on a bunch of top targets, and now all of the sudden he's back with a vengeance in the '16 & '17 classes. 


Wasn't that a little after he said that most of the top players were dirty?

Non Conf schedule could use a little boost but i also like what Tim Buckley said about the schedule today at the press conference.

What did he say?

 

That graphic shows us something we have all known and hated for a long time. When our 6th toughest game is easier than anything UofL schedules. 9 of 14 games in top 100 for them, 9 of 14 outside the top 100 opponents for us.... and UK is basically the same.

NCAA has declared Texas A&M freshman guard JJ Caldwell ineligible this season, source told ESPN. He will remain enrolled.

I did some further research and Caldwell's problem is homeschooling and an affiliation with SATCH, which stands for Sports Association of Texas for Christian Homeschoolers, founded in 2003.   Interesting article about a growing trend to home school which is in many cases just a sham to provide more time to work on basketball skills.

From USA Today:   NCAA initial eligibility review has determined that freshman F Omari Spellman will not be eligible to compete for Villanova this season.

 

Then shortly thereafter this from 'Nova which suggests they won't appeal.  Villanova announces Omari Spellman not eligible for 2016-17. Will take an academic redshirt.
