College Bball Thread

I went to several 247 team sites and a lot were talking him up. Recruiting is hard and for us fans that don’t have a chance to evaluate them all year like coaches do. We have to rely on others and stats unless you have personally see these recruits play. All of those pgs u mentioned will have terrible nights moving forward and look nothing like a stud pg. last year I watched Waters look like an all-American and then the next game was like 2-15 with 5 points and they got crushed. Archie wanted Rob and he got him and it looks like good news for all Hoosier fans.

I suppose this is true. But Archie wanted Garland too and maybe Akinjo as well. We don’t know exactly how it went. Archie has earned my trust and recruits guys that can play.

 

Crean was a wildcard.

 

I enjoy playing the part of a scout and eyeballing these recruits and “sort of guessing” who I think is better, then watching to see if my instincts are correct. Just a fun thing for me to do.

 

Phinisee is a stud. Better than I anticipated, and I didn’t have low expectations. Very happy camper.

So much substance there. You know why? Because Archie isn’t trying to sell you something. Playing hard, smart and as a team sells itself. Playing faster regardless of the consequences needs some salesmanship. Archie is simply telling you what he’s building.

The Arkansas game is going to be a hell of a lot harder than the Marquette game. Marquette is the type of team we could bully. Arkansas is going to be tough at home. Hopefully these guys, especially the guards, step up and handle the pressure. If the guards struggle it’ll be a long day. Another point of emphasis should be putting pressure on their big man. He’s averaging 6 turnovers a game right now.

They do not look too deep, Gafford their big man is good but like you said turnover prone with the double teams. Bailey and Jones each had 20+ last game. If we get some of their players in foul trouble looks like a bigger drop off in talent

take this for what its worth....I just read the "American Family Insurance All-American Boys Basketball Team picks...They left TJD and Keion out. I hope they come here and dominate.....

Its weird how much ESPN is pushing Garland at Vandy and not really saying anything about Romeo here. Been watching the games today for the Charleston classic, heard Garland's name a good amount, no mention of IU or Romeo. I guess since Vandy is straight garbage last year the leap they made is bigger?

ESPN has a limited deal with Big Ten thus bias for other conferences 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Also owns big part of ACC broadcasts...so, is promo propaganda mouth piece for both them and SEC. Resents BTN’s independence. Starts to explain a lot of what you see/hear on there.

Also makes you wonder why Big Ten players never seem to stay as high in rankings

Wait, are people just now figuring this stuff out?! ESPN shouldn't be without blame in the whole pay for play of college basketball. They've been benefiting from it for a long time as well. They're recruiting "gurus" know the game (runners who are lining recruits up for schools) and that's why they can pump out articles where kids are most likely going to end up. It benefits ESPN greatly to have the top 3 recruits in "their" conference.
