Wow, you must have one hell of a life. Go push a senior citizen off a curb or kick your dog for fun. Sorry that I read that at 5 am on the TOS and my buddy in WI sent me a text at 8 am giving me crap about Uthoff not being good enough to play at WI. Yet another reason why visiting this...

Some rumblings on TOS and from a friend of mine in Madison that Uthoff is looking to leave. Once I saw Dekker in the all star game, I wondered if that might spell major loss of PT for Uthoff. Also lots of hoops action at the rec center in North Liberty this weekend with the AAU tourney...

I believe it is Shaq Stoakes you are referring to and I think he ended up at TCU with another east coast kid. There may have been another who went to Hawaii and has since left school or transferred, but I think he was the dude McCaffrey said no thanks to after his conduct on his visit.

Agree that the NBA is unwatchable. Little / no defense, terrible fundamentals, traveling could / should be called on every possession and outside of a handful of teams, the talent just isn't there. The result of years of one and done and high school kids getting drafted who would rather get...

Wow Ghost, really great contribution to the forum. Unfortunately this is not a Game of Thrones thread. Seriously Jon, why do you allow people to do this silly stuff over and over and over again? It's a big reason I seldom vist your site. At some point you have to determine if you are...

Thanks for the list. Interesting Glover is leaving PSU. If memory serves, he was the kid we passed on once the staff locked down Hubbard. Having watched Glover play quite a few times, I am glad we passed and expect him to transfer down a level or two. Solid defender and hustle player, but 0...

Easy out...suspend him without pay for the first 2-3 non con games, make him go before the media and do some fake crying for the cameras with his wife standing by his side, then all will be forgotten. Beat LSU or Florida and he will get a raise and extension out of the deal.

So do you think KS, OSU and UNC recruited Woodbury because they had a scholarship to waste? When is the last time we have landed a kid with offers from those schools? If you are comparing him to one and done guys at UK, I guess you have reason to be disappointed.

Not sure why anybody would be down on Woodbury after the all star game. As others have stated, not much bigs can do when shots get jacked up and there is a fast break to the other end on 50% of the possessions. Literally I think Woodbury got 3-4 post touches and scored or got fouled on all but...

Just my opinion, but I think if McCaffrey knew at the beginning of the season he was going to get almost nothing from Brommer-Archie, he would have thrown Olaseni into the mix early on. I think he expected Brommer to take the next step and Archie to benefit from more PT, but for whatever...

We need multiple backs in the mix from day one. Enough of this screwing around ordaining one RB as starter and wasting everybody else. We don't have a Barry Sanders caliber back, so find out what these guys excel at and use them all in different packages. Canizeri, Bullock, Johnson and...

To echo what others have said, Gessell impressed me with his handles, sneaky quickness and abilityto see the floor. His court vision, especially in transition, will reward guys like White who run the floor. After seeing the other talent the big ten is getting, I hope Ingram and Clemmons are as...

Illinois is showing the country why nobody wants the job. Geez, two members of the board voted against hiring the football coach because he is white and now there is similar opposition to hiring a white basketball coach. Ahhh Shaka Smart, ok Leonard Hamilton, ok, Lorenzo Romar and rumors they...

It's all relative. I don't remember what McCaffrey made at Siena, but I would guess it was around $400K-$500K. So he comes here and doubles his money and has a chance to be closer to his wife's family in MN, have his kids grow up in the Midwest and rebuild a program he knows will have the...

I think Neal would struggle to recruit to Manhattan. Talk about a hard sell and a state with little / no basketball talent. Juco, Juco, Juco for whoever takes that gig. I bet they take a run at Scott Sutton at Tulsa.
