That might cost him an NBA career.

Yay! They got a guy! Fred Hoiberg helps my team again.

So Bo Ryan is done after next season. I'm not sad.

Yeah, me either. I respect him, but I'll be glad to see him go. I wonder who they'll bring in? He wants his assistant but I would imagine they'll look at trying to get Tony Bennett. I don't know what Shaka's contract details with Texas are but I would imagine they locked him in and he can't go without Wisconsin paying a small fortune. I doubt that would happen.

Doubt it would be cheap since Texas just paid his buy out and signed off on playing VCU for two years as well. He was also the only coach Texas interviewed so I would imagine he's locked in.

Northwestern landed Benson. I am... Pleased.

Nice get. I was hoping Purdue would land him. His dad played football for us.

Really wasn't expecting it. Collins can really recruit.

A depleted KU team--representing the US--won the World University Games, whatever those are. First time the US has done it in a while. I think we have a chance to be pretty good this year, though I think our front line will still be a defensive weakness.

Sounds like JCL got hurt and will miss the European tour. Super.

[ARCubsFan]

Tracy Abrams out again for the season.

[Old Style]

ESPN pre-season poll is out, for what it's worth.

Maryland is #1.

Purdue got a commit from a 3-Star PG from Texas. IU fans apparently made fun of this shortly before IU signed a 0-Star SG out of northwest Indiana. :hello:

what, no mention of the Illini player arrested in France?

what, no mention of the Illini player arrested in France?

The one who was suspended before anyone even knew what happened and is probably never going to play a game for them now?

Sure, that one.

Sure, that one.

What's there to say?

 

"He should be suspended!" ...well, he was.

 

"He should be kicked off the team!" ...well, he'll probably be kicked off the team when they get back home.

I just heard about it briefly. Was curious what this meant to the team. Was this a bench guy or someone projected to do something?

Darius Paul, a player already suspended for last year for getting into trouble. He got a second chance from Groce already, he won't do anything. Expectations were extremely low already for him at this point.

Emmitt Holt and Thomas Bryant busted for underage drinking. Why can't our guys just sip their vodka in peace.

Isn't Holt the guy that hit someone with his car last year? Taking the freshman out for a few drinks, I like it!

WTF is going on in Bloomington? Since when do basketball players get busted for anything? Aren't these cops [expletive] fans that want the team to win? This is like the 5th time in the last year an IU player (usually Holt involved) has been busted doing something. Need some transfers from the Tallahassee police in Bloomington, they know how this [expletive] works. Hell, Cris Carter pep talk, anything at this point.

[Smack]

USA Today Coaches poll is out.

 

Holy [expletive]. Purdue is ranked again!
