I know and we did the same thing to Semrau. Just seems like a crappy way to do business. The NCAA really favors the coaches over the kids. Rephrase that as dollars over kids and I think you've got it. Ok that's very true.

You get that he s going to be less efficient now, right? And his usage is going to go up as well.
-
He is a very good supporting player, I think Jeremy lamb is going to be as good. Maybe I'm just too high on lamb.
-
He would help Miami...... And it would be awesome to see.

I know these kids are getting their diplomas and everyone recruits over now, but man if it doesn't seem crappy of Crean to run all the kids off who committed to IU when it was toxic. This is assuming that creek also doesnt get his fifth year.

Depends on if you're comparing one season of Harden or if you think they'd actually be able to re-sign him. For a single season of Harden, I think OKC got good value here. Well, sure. If they had to trade him, then I'd say they did pretty well. But, all things being equal -- which is what I think people mean when they say OKC "won" or "trade rape" -- OKC came out behind. Perhaps they came out as well as they could have; that's hard to say. They did have to trade him. And they got damn good value back. I think people overrated harden, let's see what he does n his own now. I bet he's not an Olympian level player anymore.

Trade rape.
-
I think OKC just pulled off a trade rape. Rizzo for cashner style. lamb is a stud, they get two picks that matter, and a volume scorer to help their second unit.

Sure looks like it. @ TCU is probably their toughest game left. If this happens does a one loss sec team jump them? No. K-State has played a legitimate schedule. Good. I'm praying for a KState nd final.

Is KState gonna win out?

Having seen a pretty similar situation last year, I really think you need to see how the roster adapts to the new coaching staff's system. There was no reason to expect Mizzou to have the year they had last year, but they had some talent and experience and took off with a new system. I don't see why that couldn't happen to Illinois as well, although I wouldn't call it a likely outcome. You had a very good point guard though, surrounded with good shooters. Those things tend to work well regardless of the coach. See our 05 team. We don't have shooters and while I like Tracy, he isn't in pressey's league yet. That's true, but Illinois's season would be a success with far less than the 30 wins Mizzou had last year, too. Good point. I want 20 wins. We do that it was a good year on the court.

Why did we fire Zook again?

Yeah I do as well, but I'm going to need to see it in games. The last staff had a history of claiming how great everyone was in practice. As a result I'm a bit gun shy.
-
Depends on Egwu IMO. If he can be decent I think we will be good. If not, long year.
-
Yeah and last year they were preseason 2. I guess it won't change it as much.
-
I wonder if that will change now that Cal gets all the one and done guys? It's hard to rank a team of all freshman number one before they have played a game.
-
Guys, the preseason number one is usually pretty good. Usually.
-
Was that supposed to be shocking?
-
15 carries for Peterson, 35 attempts for Ponder. The Vikings are awesome.
-
Lol at the Vikings. You have Adrian Peterson, yet you let Christian Ponder throw the ball a ton.

Lance Armstrong to be stripped of Tour de France titles

Yeah with Linda McMahon running for Senate the WWE has a very strict policy in place. That isn't to say some names just don't get selected to be tested though. -
God bless you Giants of San Francisco. I now sort of forgive you for 1989. Sort of.
