yeah, just can't get any top-rated recruit to come to champaign. if Groce is able to achieve success with the second and third-tier players, he won't be there long.

Lol, we just got Jalen Coleman. Who is ranked like a spot lower than Thomas.

 

meh, needed a big, not a similar player to jordan.

While I wanted a big, I think the college game is all about guards. Especially ones that are lights out shooters. I think Coleman is huge for Groce. Just need to get him signed. I don't trust Indiana guards.

He is. Supposedly he helped get Gilder to commit to A&M last week. We offered Elijah back when he was in 8th grade and College Station is only a 2.5-3 hour drive from Dallas so his parents can see him play whenever they want. Our recruiting class is shockingly great right now. I can't quite figure it out. If I didn't know any better I'd swear we were shelling out some cash. And I don't say that because I think my school is squeaky clean but because I don't think enough big money donors care enough about basketball to pay for recruits. Assistant Kyle Keller is known as a great recruiter and last year we signed Avery Johnson Jr. That kid is like the blue chip whisperer. I don't expect him to get much PT but everyone seems to follow him.

 

apparently Illinois has to win to attract recruits but other schools can just waltz right in and grab them without proving anything.

It's the SEC, one of theirs just hired Bruce Pearl. He's raking in recruits. Whole different world down there.

UNC announcing the results of an independent investigation into academic irregularities tomorrow. Rumors around Chapel Hill is that it's not going to be pretty.

The NCAA doesn't punish it's blue bloods. You'll be fine.

So probably every player on the 2005 UNC roster was enrolled in a fake class?

Well, at least that didn't end up affecting any team's special 2005 season in the long ru...EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE.

Seriously, what a load of [expletive] and probably a slap on the wrist penalty. I would be so pissed if I was an Illinois fan. Kind of surprised we haven't seen a Sully meltdown about this yet....

I watched the game. I am still pissed about the screwing we got from the refs. Without Fat worthless POS Sean May getting every [expletive] call we win it all anyways.

 

Could have been 39-0, but we still would have tailspinned after anyways.

I'm fairly certain that numerous UNC bball wins will be vacated by the NCAA. This is a huge story and it's transcending just sports news. Roy Williams is probably done too.

Illinois offered Marcus Lovett today. Nab him and it's all better from my perspective.

 

Oh, and Bragg can come, too.

If they can just fork that NC over, that would be great, thanks.

I'm serious, if you have to vacate a national title, the runner - up should get it.

Lovett would be a nice consolation to missing out on Brunson and Evans. Sounds like he'll wait until spring to decide.

 

I'm not even going to bother getting my hopes up for Bragg.

I know that's just a mix of pickup games, but the number of offensive fouls he made was kinda crazy.

I counted about 300 "palmings"

yeah, i don't know what to make of him. i feel like there's a decent chance he gets eaten alive once he gets to college, but there's also a chance he's the second coming of frankie williams. i feel like evans and brunson are much safer bets, though.

evans and brunson don't have dribbles like that.

 

some dude said that's 300 palmings? lol. college refs don't call that unless you stop the ball and hold it or dribble over your head, those are just crossovers, watch a pro game, you'll see crossovers.

 

those guys he was playing against are mostly d1 prospects themselves, that was Nick Irvin you saw on the sidelines there.

no, but he's pretty small and seemed to favor his left side a ton. i'll take him on the roster without thinking twice, but i don't think he's without risk (obviously no high schoolers are, but i'm mostly speaking relative to brunson and evans).

Posted

that guy has been going to his right since he was 3 years old, i wouldn't worry about that. all point guards appear to favor a side, you just notice more with him becaue he's a lefty.

 

as far as being small, he's got wide shoulders and he's athletic. i'd like to see him create a little more space instead of pounding the ball so much, but he can learn that.

Man, I don't know about the Frankie Williams comparisons. That's some high praise. I hope we get him and he is close to Frankie though.

This basically this is just bipartisan's new "If we don't get him God hates me and all my teams" guy?

 

Ok, got it.
