So the question becomes will Alford get a pass for under-performing this season due to the injuries?  

Guess it depends how bad the season is

Just saw that Pitino will have his own podcast on iTunes starting next Tuesday. That could be....awkward. Lol.

Fun read from batstool.  Stevie A. leads the list and it includes 3 B1G coaches - Little Ricky, TURDgeon and Miles.

Was it conceived in a booth in an Italian restaurant?

Pitino: "Welcome to my podcast. You're in for a real treat. I've got a jam-packed show 1-2, maybe 3 hours long, so informative that it will send shivers down your spine and leave you begging for more. So let's get started... (shuddering, his eyes roll back in his head) So that's all we've got for this weeks edition, hope to see you again soon, please."

Hmmm surprised to see Carey and Steward landing at the same school (MSU), their game is similar & I am not sure you can play them both on the court at the same time.

Yeah not sure I expect that either but Stewart wouldn’t surprise and the rest of the picks make sense.

But then again, if I was picking I’d probably select the same schools.

There have been several recent CB flips to MSU for Stewart which makes sense given TJDs visit is over and Brooks won't commit to a visit with MSU. The only real threat if there was one for TJD was MSU so this should be seen as a very good sign for us. IMO the only threat I see for Brooks is UNC. We should have a commit or a date for TJD to commit by next Friday from what I've heard.

Jon Rothstein -  Wake Forest sophomore Melo Eggelston has left the Demon Deacons' program, per release.

And bad news for new Evansville coach Walter McCarty   --  Deandre Williams academically ineligible for '18-'19.  Interesting read because it has to do with his schooling in Texas and exactly just how much NCAA eligibility he truly has left.           https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/college/evansville/2018/10/10/ncaa-declares-prized-evansville-recruit-deandre-williams-ineligible/1569492002/

I wonder if the comment about IU needing to do more work in the facilities department was made before the new players lounge and locker room were completed, although it is true Minnesota and Nebraska have better facilities which is unacceptable. 

I also don’t think it is unreasonable for the fans to expect Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, or Michigan type success. Hopefully the days of idiots undermining and mismanaging the program are gone.

They listed us 6th in facilities, 6TH!

[VeevlandBrowns]

This is conducted now by The Athletic and the Columbus Dispatch (used to just be the latter, IIRC). 28 media members from around the conference coverage area participated.

Order of Finish
1. Michigan State

2. Michigan

3. Indiana

4. Nebraska

5. Purdue

6. Wisconsin

7. Maryland

8. Ohio State

9. Minnesota

10. Iowa

11. Penn State

12. Northwestern

13. Illinois

14. Rutgers

That’s relatively close to my own. The top 3 are inexactly the same order. I have Purdue 4th, Wisconsin 5th but it’s close. They’ve got Minnesota a shade higher than I do but if everything breaks right and they stay healthy, that kind of finish is certainly possible. They’ve also got OSU much higher than I do…we’ll see if Holtmann makes me look bad two years running. I just think they go from a very experienced core to one where they’re relying on a lot of youth and I think it’s going to show up.

MSU was 1st on 22 of 28 ballots and 2nd on the remaining 6. That’s a pretty definitive #1 according to the media guys. Personally, while I expected MSU to be the consensus favorite (and they are), I also think the league has less at the top than it had a year ago, so it doesn’t feel much like last year’s preseason, even though the view in terms of order of finish is pretty similar.

The bigger surprise to me was seeing Winston as 1st Team All Big Ten. Not that I don’t think he can end up there but I thought there might be a little more support for Cowan from Maryland. Haven’t seen a vote total so maybe it was close. Good for him getting that kind of recognition and I absolutely think he could make good on it.
