But then of course there’s that off chance that the following happens.

Nobody is leaving or it’s just Ayo and Miller feels he won’t get his. I suspect there’s more here than just “Momma”.

If that Nil deal goes thru I dunno.



Well, things aren't going so well, that is for sure. The Miller thing is not about losing his ppg , it's about the narrative that could come out of this for Hulka and staff in recruiting Chicago, and recruiting overall whether that is fair or not. Other teams will use it and Miller camp is yapping is my guess. He had way better game than Ayo vs Loyola but played a lot less minutes and got less shots. 

We better hope to hell Curbelo is happy and stays. He could go wherever he wants and he does have an NBA chance if he develops.

I'm chuckling after reading Truth's string of posts on the previous page. He thinks today's recruits are Millennials.

And speaking of the generation gap, Mike Woodson seems really old. I'm watching his BTN interview on YouTube. He's not senile.

Juwan Howard is 48, which seems too old to learn a new trade. Woodson is 63 and doesn't appear to have a lot of energy. He says Indiana high school basketball is still run by the coaches. Maybe that's true. But it seems like a huge learning curve for a guy who'll be eligible for Medicare when his first recruiting class arrives.

He has had a long career in pros. Kids might respect that as they all like to think they are going there. He convinced Jackson-Davis to stay who was borderline prospect right now.
Who knows. Maybe some of these other Indiana kids in the transfer portal rethink it.

I do think he is in for an education if he thinks HS coaches run HS basketball anywhere.

And another thing is Underwood should be gone within the year unless he catches fire in the recruiting and transfer market over the next few months, but I suspect he’ll never live down the Loyola game. It’s not like he’s Bill Self and can just reload and survive it.

He not only managed to wake up the fan base this season to putting it to sleep early, then waking it up, then punching it in the nuts to finish it off. This was a lighting in a bottle moment that he managed to royally screw up. I don’t see how he survives the year to be honest.

Probably the first time I’ve ever read anything you’ve written and said to myself “yes, I agree;” but yes, I’ve always thought that Underwood needed to piggy back off this team and keep most of it together to keep things at a pretty high level. I don’t see Underwood being consistently successful if he’s scrambling often.

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

I like that Tre Mitchell from Umass. Perfect pick and roll type of center.  Can shoot the 3 ball and from all over the court.  Pretty decent ball handling and moves for a big dude.

Apparently, Asswolf didn't bother to tell his teammates about transferring or answer phone calls from staff or the team.

He will be a never was in terms of their NBA expectations bullshit.

Is a P5 starter and OK secondary contributor, or he can go lower D1 and be handed the keys to try and put up big numbers.

Not a lead guard. Not a great shooter yet.
Not a scoring guard as he has no breakdown handle to draw fouls, get his own, or finishing moves.
Really too small and not athletic.
He is kind of just a guy.
