My initial reaction was "Why the generator? Just run a power inverter and possibly install a 2nd battery...."

My next reaction was "Why am I trying to improve the engineering on a window A/C unit duct taped to a Geo Prizm?"

Next reaction was Geo Prizm??

Crean and Tim Buckley were excellent at developing shooting skills. Yogi, Vic, Watford, Zeisloft, Bielfeldt all improved their three point shooting under that staff. We haven't seen the same since then. 

That’s were I am. We have the players they just don’t seem to be developing their shot? Where’s Jordie at? He learned from Buckley!

Old people don't necessarily have to have old perspectives though.  The ability to see that change is necessary despite it being against our own personal preferences is wisdom. 

Exactly! I think it stems from people getting to a certain comfy place and they stop learning.

That's because for you and me, those are our "good old days".  In 35 years, there's going to be guys in their mid 30s-50s saying "Can you believe that as little as 35 years ago, they weren't paying these guys? But I don't know about XYZ-change....I think it ruins the integrity of the game."

35 years ago, it was "Can you believe that 25 years ago, the slam dunk was illegal? It's part of what makes the game exciting.  I don't know about this 3 point line stuff though...ruins the integrity of the game."

To this and your above post change is inevitable! The change isn’t the real problem though, the inability of the majority to adjust is the problem! It’s what makes ‘Old People’ ‘Old People’

Is there any reason to expect Carlyle not to commit this weekend? I'm assuming that is what he is waiting for. Not sure if will want to think it over for a few days, take another visit, etc,

I wonder if there isn’t an agreement to hold off announcing so as to not scare off others that are being recruited? I think that ship has sailed and it’s time to make it official!🤷🏼‍♂️

My expectations are the season goes well enough I can actually finish watching games. That I don’t need to stay off the board for a day or two after a game. That things go well enough this board is actually enjoyable to visit during season.

That’s not how sanding wood floors works; it’s also not the same tolerance of flatness that smaller metal surfaces or machine work requires

I will defer, not my specialty. Hence the 🤷🏼‍♂️

He still has time but I have my doubts?

I have terrific news for the big ten 

Having worked with some mold polishers that put mirror finishes on steel, in order to maintain a flat surface you have to work in a crisscross pattern. Just saying.🤷🏼‍♂️

Okay I’m going back to Popcorn5 this is getting boring 🥱 

Moving on up to Popcorn2 with all the Coach discussion.

Isn’t that supposed to be ‘To The Moon’?

The hatchlings are out.

So out hiking and hear a snap, pause and about 6ft away a branch crashes down. In my time I’ve had a few crashes but this was the closest!

Where’s Moreldo?

I thought it was one of those IQ tests, if you can find 3 your IQ is 140!

He isn't visiting Arkansas. He's ours. We should see that officially very soon.

In the art of negotiation sometimes you have to play the ultimate card, the walk away card! Could be he was told if he goes to visit Arkansas looking to drive the price up the offer you have goes away! Just my 2 cents!

I’m now at Popcorn 3 on the Popcorn scale!

Speaking of glass cleaners, does Ballo fit the description?

Of the guys ranked in the 16-25 range (Tucker is ranked 20th) from last years 247 composite, only 1 played more than 60% of his teams minutes. You can think whatever you want, but outside the top 10 or so guys, it’s very common for freshman to come off the bench as 20ish minutes per game type of players.

He’ll get minutes, but I sure hope we’re not relying on him to start unless he has a college ready game - which most freshman don’t.

Maybe I caught too much second hand smoke from my neighbor when we were talking.

Contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of top 20-30 recruits that do not start or play starter minutes. There were only 19 high major freshman who played more than 60% of their teams minutes. About half of those weren’t top 20-30 guys, but instead were guys on bad teams.

I would say I want what you’re smoking thinking he’s coming to IU with the thought he’ll be on the bench but my neighbor works at a grow house and said she would hook me up if I ever wanted.

Just now, Kdug said:

There’s only 5 starting spots. If IU gets Ballo, Tucker will almost certainly be coming off the bench.

If that’s what he was sold how long before he or someone else decommits?

If yall think Galloway came back to be a 6th man, I want some of whatever you're smoking.

Not to mention the smoke around any of Malik, Mgbako and Tucker coming off the bench. Burger Boys don’t plan on needing to develop from the bench!
