It’s not impossible.  Does anyone know if they have a postseason band next year? 

I heard it is gonna be Nickleback (band)

[yogisballin]

I'm not going to say her name on here. But the NKU volleyball roster has a girl on there from NA. That's her.

Thanks. Idk why I didn’t think of that lol

No kidding, that's going a bit far.

Only reason I asked what her name was, was to see if that one poster (don’t recall his name) knew it or not. Bc he claimed to have insider info of her transferring. Which isn’t true. He never answered so...

Keep in mind, the title and game forfeitures and 4 year postseason ban are all just for Hooker U. The punishment for being University 6 is still impending.

Long story short, they’re well past screwed.

Yeah but there is no post season ban. They self imposed a one year ban back in 15-16 when this came out.

Yeah, no ban. They were placed on a 4 year probation. I think people are confusing what that means.

Oh, well that’s real dumb.

Hope the Uof6 punishments rollout in the next year, just as they’re getting going again.

Did they lose any scholarships?

Don't know why we're talking about University 6 right now. The real question is who do I root for tomorrow, Duke or Kansas?

My heart says Kansas because....well...F Duke, but my brain says Duke because I don't want Kansas becoming any more attractive to Romeo.

WHAT DO I DO GUYS???

Okay my friend, I am here to help:
Deep breath; you can still watch the game.
Have a beverage poured - scotch rocks preferably.
Keep composure - one of these dirt factories will win.
Nova will be waiting... patience.

Ugh. Now for the sake of an entertaining title game Michigan has to (and will) beat Loyola.

I don't want them there. I have a close friend who is die-hard Michigan, so I'll try to be happy for him.

Wait you think Loyola will get whipped in the title game if they get there after beating Michigan, Tennessee, Miami, Kansas St (who beat UK), and Nevada (who beat Cinci).

You can do what I do and appreciate that the uber-talented Kentucky Wildcats got sent home by a team with a fraction of their talent and the Purdue "It's our year" Boilermakers did their usual Sweet 16 disappearing act, and just enjoy the games knowing we won't have to deal with either of those clownshows winning a banner.

 

I really don't get why people still get worked up over Duke. Yeah, I know, '93 and whatnot, but we don't compete with them for recruits and they aren't a rival. They're just another team we envy because they win more than us (just like a bunch of other teams this century).

 

Kansas is Kansas. Romeo knows what they are and what they can do. He isn't going to base his decision on whether or not they're the last team standing.

None of those teams are of the caliber of Duke or Villanova (and I suppose even Kansas). Michigan is close because they are peaking. Cincy may have been close, but Loyola played a Kansas St team who just happened to beat them a week ago. It doesn't translate to beating Cincinnati.

 

I root for the underdog as much as anyone else. But, and I hate saying it, they just don't have the horses.

 

If they make me eat crow I'll gladly take a heaping serving of it with more crow on the side. And you can plaster my post all over this thread [emoji846].

 

On a side note, I would love to see Kansas get crushed tomorrow with a terrible lack of coaching from Bill himSelf. I think they are number three in the race for Romeo, but they're still our competitors. And they should fail.

Except they completely misrepresent the 247 expert rankings model that rewards picks the longer they’ve been held. I get everyone likes to take swipes at the recruiting experts, but 1) they’re just a bunch of college hoops junkies like everyone here who found a way to get paid for their addiction and 2) they do usually have way more information than the general population

Sounds like this guy has been reading the board and translating it to articles haha.

I might be one of the only ones who agrees with you here but it’s completely valid. As much as I love the underdog and a team from Chicago making a run, Id like to see a competitive championship game. Bagley will have a double double before halftime against LUC’s 6’9” center. Or there’s no way Cluster will be able to prevent Brunson from scoring 30. Just not happening. Cincy, KState, UK, Tennessee don’t even compare to Duke, Kansas, or Nova. I’ll be happy to be wrong though.

If they had any real information it would be out in the public.  I think that is fairly obvious.  I don't have an issue with how they make their money.  It's a really good hustle actually.  But if you are going to hold yourself out as an "expert", you better expect to have that questioned. Whether or not there is a model is irrelevant.  No one cares how they internally rank themselves after the fact.  Everyone just looks at their predictions on unsigned recruits, which is a hodgepodge of long held predictions and last second changes.

Ah so you wrote the article. Do you understand the ranking model over at 247? Because based on your article and your above comment, it doesn’t appear that you do. The Crystal Ball even locks up some period of time prior to a recruits announcement if that information is public. Expert rankings are impacted by incorrect picks as well. It’s a pretty solid ranking model.

On your point about information being public, there is a lot of public information on Twitter. These guys have a reputation that they have to uphold. Thus, they can help act as a filter for what information is valid and what is not. They have relationships that they can use to privately vet this information.

Additionally, we being Indiana fans probably have a lot of information about Indiana recruiting. We lack a lot of information due to interest, proximity, and resources to understand recruitments elsewhere.

Look at Romeo's prediction history and tell me all about how solid it is.  It's a bunch of guys guessing based on the limited information that is already out in the public.
