  1. Lots of good college players end up in the euro league. Pullen was a baller. He was a crybaby and apparently still is.
  2. He's losing draft position by the minute.
  3. If the Hawks can't beat Nashville on a night Rinne gives up 5 goals, yikes.
  4. Oh, and lol at Pullen's butthurt. Oh boy, Weber didn't fall all over himself for a guy that ended up a euro league player.
  5. Bunch of B1G recruits playing tomorrow In the All-American Championship. McGary, GRobIII, Ronnie Johnson, Dekker, Woodbury, Gesell, Perea, Hollowell, Loving. http://www.gazellegroup.com/events/aac/schedule.htm Edit: live on ESPN3 in the afternoon and replayed at 8 central on ESPNU. Two different games.
  6. Robbie Hummel wins Lowe's Senior Class award.
  7. 16 year old? Yikes.
  8. They're one Zeller away from a bottom third finish. Hopefully he wises up and cashes in. he will be there all 4 years. Then he's as dumb as he looks. I guess if he blows out a knee his big bro can throw him some cash. I don't think he will leave early barring an IU title. The Zellers stay in school. Plus I don't think his game will translate all that well to the NBA. He would be a lottery pick. Some projections have him going in the top 5-6. Take the money and run!

  10. I mean, things are pointed in the right direction. But has he really exceeded your expectations? Absolutely. I didn't think he'd get Cody Zeller. I certainly didn't think he'd get Yogi Ferrell. IU's long-term recruiting is on more stable ground than it has been since the early 1990s. I thought Crean would comfortably settle IU into 20ish wins and 10ish loss seasons with better seasons randomly sprinkled in; it seems very likely I was overly pessimistic. That said, I cannot stop you from myopically viewing Crean's tenure through the prism of his first three years as if those years have predictive quality. Ok so your expectations of him were low, if you didn't think he could recruit 5 star players to IU and have consistent success. That's all I'm saying is that I was surprised he had exceeded your expectations.

  13. Crean has exceeded your expectations? He's 34 games under .500 in the B1G in four years. lol. If he wins the B1G and gets to a Final Four next year, I could see that as exceeding expectations.
  14. Chanson Randle had a good night whipping Minny for the NIT championship.
  15. La Lumiere High School playing on ESPNU this afternoon at 1pm central time. Rapheal Davis Purdue Jalen James Illinois Hanner Perea Indiana Jay Simpson Purdue
  16. Bears sign Devin Thomas to a one year deal.
  17. If he's got extra recruiting cash, Weis could use it.
  18. That's not new. That was going on last year during the Painter debacle. It was going on with the Smart debacle, it's common now.
  19. The guy can say whatever he wants to the extent it doesn't run Groce off. Groce will still get hired, and then he can proudly proclaim he fought it.
  20. Seriously....this guy is way out of line. If I'm Groce, I'm headed back to Ohio after reading that. Hello Reggie Theus. Haha, that won't help the negotiations. Do they just need a majority vote from the BOT? Or do they all have to sign off on it? majority So it won't even matter, this guy is just politicking.

  22. How awesome would it be if Illinois got turned down by a Colonial League coach, a Horizon League coach, and a MAC coach?
  23. On another note, there was a funny story in the Titus book about Groce giving Jamar Butler 4 Technical Fouls during a scrimmage at practice.
  24. it's embarrassing I clicked that link and identified you and SSR in about two seconds.
