In the comments in the youtube video, a guy from Connecticut said they heard the story and that the player was Cam Spencer.

Yeah, the recruiting momentum is crazy. How did they get the number 2, 5 and 6 PF in the same class to commit. Obviously Mbako (#2) backed out but the other two are at Duke and averaging about 2 pts per game. I guess it shows you have to look at more than just the ranking.

Maybe somewhere like Indiana State. They have Ryan Conwell averaging 15.9 pts and 4.9 reb. He's a soph from Indy too, He spent a year at South Florida and seems to be flourishing at ISU. I'd like to see Gunn in a guard oriented system with good coaching and see what he can do.

I think beyond the right type of kid and right fit, there needs to be assistants that can coach to their system. I don't like that coach Hunter is still on staff. He's been a voice in the players ears since the CAM days. I can see retaining him in the first year for recruiting/retention if need be but he should have been replaced by now. As several people have posted on HSN, there is data showing lineups that have been effective and should be exploited and I think there needs to be someone on staff that can communicate that to CMW. If he can't or won't see that, then perhaps he is too stuck in his ways to get the maximum from the roster. As someone over 60, I can understand CMW wanting the work environment to be as pleasant for him as possible but I don't think that will allow him to be as successful as he needs to be. I think he needs assistants that can teach the game and get guys better, much like Painter has done. I could be wrong but i thought at one time he had Shrewsberry working offense and Lusk defense. Purdue seems to pretty good at inserting guys like Braden Smith, that aren't highly rated, and getting results immediately. I just fear at this stage in his life CMW can't or won't do what needs to be done.

They start 3 guards and they all average double figure points. I'd guess he'd still be struggling here. They did lose 5 of the 6 games but I'm glad he's doing well.

For what it's worth, and i know around here it's not much, but Dakich said the other day he heard the real story of what happened at Taco Bell and he said he doesn't blame MM at all so it could very well be there was no need for any punishment.

Talking about the JMU QB, most likely.

That's Daquan Davis so it could be posted in his recruiting thread.

Dakich said there is definite interest from Gruden and he is DD's 2nd choice after Dan Mullen. (Mullen told Dakich today he's staying in broadcasting)

Man, Rocket Watts is still around. He was in TJD's class and ranked #39.

He had 15p 7r 4a on Sunday for the Grand Rapids Gold.

Luke is on the roster at Indiana Wesleyan but apparently hasn't played in any of their first four games.

Good start for Tamar Bates. 7-9 FG, 3-3 3FG for 18 points off the bench. Sean East led Missouri with 21 on 7-8 FG, 2-3 3FG, 5-5 FT but 5 fouls in 21 min. Noticed Khristian Lander didn't start but had 10p, 5r, 3a in a WKU blowout win. Brandon Newman led with 14pts.

My tv schedule for BTN lists B1G Plus Encore Tuesday-Friday 9-11am. Replays of the best action from Big Ten contests.

Logan Duncomb quitting basketball, citing health reasons. I was looking forward to seeing him play this year. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/college/xavier/2023/10/04/moeller-high-school-product-logan-duncomb-leaves-xavier-basketball/71065876007/

Tulane coaching staff also with Indiana connections in Ron Hunter and Ray McCallum.

Indiana was down 77-58 with 7 minutes to go and came back and took the lead but couldn't hold on. No Xavier Booker for IN. Last night IN won 95-74 despite no Myles Colvin. Burton had 26 pts.

They added AJ Storr from St Johns. 6'6", shot 40% from 3, Big East All Freshman team. Started the last 17 games and averaged 11.8 ppg as a starter. With Hepburn, Essegian, Storr, Wahl and Crowl, yeah, they could be tough.

I thought you could enter anytime but now you'd need a waiver to play immediately unless you're a grad transfer.

Can we please stay on topic? There is Dakich thread somewhere if you want to rant about DD.

Verbal commits lists him as a walk on.

Doesn't sound like something Tipton Edits would tweet. I did see one from Adam Howard that was something like all roads lead to Bloomington.

Ohio State picks up PG Dale Bonner from Baylor. Ohio native spent one year at Fairmont State and two at Baylor.

Pierce Thomas (Brownsburg) from Butler to Eastern Kentucky.

How about a compromise. June 16, which is World Sea Turtle Day.
