Wonder who the leader in the room was on this proposal I'm not big on it.

Probably want to try and get 12 teams in instead of the usual 10.

The football argument is stupid. There’s way too many bowl teams in the first place

With one more weekend, you can expand the tournament to 256 teams. Problem solved.

Except for the 50 or so teams that don’t get in. Stupid is as stupid does.

CHICAGO — Kevin Huerter has opened a lot of eyes at the NBA draft combine this week.

The Maryland guard, who arrived to Chicago as a projected second-round pick, is rising up draft boards after turning in a solid performance in the combine’s first five-on-five scrimmage and producing eye-opening results in the agility and shooting drills on Thursday.

The Heat currently don’t have a pick in this year’s draft, but they were interested enough in Huerter to use one of their 20 allotted interviews at the combine on him. The Palm Beach Post confirmed the Heat also interviewed former Hurricanes guard Bruce Brown this week.

“It went well,” Huerter said of his meeting with Miami. “It wasn’t an intense environment, which is nice. It really felt like we were just having a conversation and they were just trying to get to know me.”

On Thursday, the 19-year-old made sure the rest of the NBA knew about him. Huerter, who is looking to prove he’s more than just a 3-point shooter, had the top shuttle run among the 40 players tested Thursday, was fourth in the three-quarter-court sprint, seventh in lane agility and finished 14th in maximum vertical leap at 38 inches.

This was less of a surprise, but the 6-foot-7, 194-pound sophomore also proved he’s one of the best shooters in the draft Thursday. He finished first in the spot-up right-side shooting (a perfect 100 percent), right corner NBA shooting (a perfect 100 percent), and on-the-move 15-foot shooting at 87.1 percent, while tying for third in spot-up left-side shooting.And Huerter was also solid in the first scrimmage of the combine, finishing with nine points on 3-of-9 shooting (2-for-7 on 3-pointers), two rebounds, three assists and one turnover.

The Ringer projects Huerter as a second-round pick, but that was before the combine, and describes him as “a sharpshooting wing with range from deep and a feel for playmaking.”

Huerter averaged 14.8 points on 50.3 percent shooting from the field and 41.7 shooting from 3-point range to go with 5.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists as a sophomore at Maryland this past season. He has not hired an agent yet, so he has until May 30 to announce whether he will return to Maryland for next season.

But with the way Thursday went for Huerter, the NBA draft could be in his immediate future. And if he somehow lands in Miami, he won’t be upset with that.

Seeing tweets that Mike Davis may be the new head coach at Detroit who is now in its 8th week of its coaching search.  Had also seen his name mentioned for the Houston job if Cell Phone Sampson bolted to the NBA.

All because a basketball school didn’t do good at other sports (football) so they aren’t making enough money. Man, some people on here wouldn’t like that or understand that at all. When those fire Fred Glass convos come up... Yeah

Plus Kansas sucks.  They might get all chest-thumping about dominating the putrid big 12, but they'd love to have OUR Banners.

Romeo Weems (top 50 player in 2019) picked DePaul over Michigan st, Ohio st, Michigan and Oregon.  The state of Michigan’s top rated player for 2019

Respect. Kid wants to write his own story. Said he was impressed because DePaul's coach told him what to improve on instead of hammering him with how good he was. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Wow to DePaul though.  Will likely hardly hear about this kid again.

Wilson Chandler was also the top recruit from Michigan and chose DePaul. They're still a P5 school. I don't know anything about the direction that program is headed though.

Mark Aguire made a pretty big mark on the NCAA while at Depaul.

Michigan fans see this as a blow to Sparty. Evidently, Sparty thought they were in the lead and were making him the focal point of their recruiting.

They are upping their recruiting, no doubt.  They had Tyler Campbell for a bit and a lot of folks considered his recruitment shady.
