We weren't in his Top 4. Is Woodson losing Montverde!?! 

Lol

Arizona crystal balls are coming in. Does IU still get a visit?

Booker is a serious student too 

ND & O$U in the hunt too 

cathedral vs Kokomo game was fun to watch…both bigs are elite talents 

They are totally different players. Flory is more of a paint area type but is quick enough to play out on the floor just doesn’t have any range. Booker seems to be the better fit in todays game. I doubt either would be guarding each other in college. Ultimately Booker drew him out of the paint all day. That’s the nightmare guarding Booker.

   And you should face some facts, 4evr; your man is, at best, a mediocre coach; and he doesn't even consider winning games and championships to be his calling; he has sold out the team and the Program for the individual many times, the culmination just this last season with the Sharpe carnival sideshow. Like it or not, the measure of a collegiate coach is NCAA championships; Knight had three, Rupp had four, Coach K had five and they all were ten times the coach Calipari is. There have been 31 Div I coaches with the same number of titles as Calipari; there have been 16 Div I coaches with MORE ncaa titles. Maybe an analogy would help; think of Calipari as a rock star, he got lucky once, he has one hit and that's it; he will go down in history and be remembered as a one hit wonder. I did enjoy your ad hominem attack; but, I am already a rich man.

   Love this comment on the article. Some are done with Cal.

Who is runningunnin.454? Looks like he has some standing.

I think it's cute that the Turdue fans think he's going there.

They think it’s his dream school.

What did he supposedly do to screw things up?  I’ve seen it referenced several times but have never seen an explanation of what actually happened.

Supposedly talked down to them about NIL and went on a political tangent. Totally turned them off. 

@kyhoosier29 it was Fife.

I haven't seen Queen play as much, but it seems that with both having ball handling skills and both able to shoot from deep that a team could put them anywhere from the 3 - 5 spots and they can co-exist. There's a lot of "position-less" basketball being played. 

I think that’s the key. Queen can play with his back to the basket and finish. His shooting is almost icing. Booker is different. He plays more like a wing. You could go 5 out with those two on the court.

Are things looking better with Booked? For awhile, it was being discussed as IU was on the outside looking in. 

Yes. The dumba$$ that screwed things up was shown the door. Booker scheduling this visit with everyone on campus’s bodes well. The whole staff will be there.

He is visiting soon and may look to reclassify and with the the other 2 Montverde guys committed IU is a very serious player here. 

For 23 and beyond we are going to be turning away some very very good prospects.  If you want the scholly better pull the trigger quickly

With NIL and a no nonsense/straight up coaching staff IU is sitting nicely. When was the last time IU had 3 legitimate top 5 kids looking. Booker and his parents will be on campus with the full coaching staff. Setting up nicely.

I’d be willing to wager if we get him on campus again, he commits. No inside info, just a timing hunch

He’s visiting again this week. Not sure he commits. He is very interested.

You're likely right.  I'm just saying I that if I had to compete with that lying scumbag, I wouldn't hesitate to try to burst the illusion balloon that Kentucky is the quickest way to those NBA millions.  That path in Lexington is littered with broken dreams.

I’m betting most parents see it already. Booker is definitely listening. His visit is no coincidence with the Queen news from what I’m seeing.

If I'm Mike Woodson recruiting against Kentucky, I'm asking Xavier if he wants to get better or just wants to get drafted.  I'm also showing him how well Keion Brooks developed under John Calipari.

I’m not sure woody uses negative recruiting. I think he’s taken the “this is what you need to work on” type approach. Negative recruiting does happen though. 

Anyone hearing Queen might reclassify? He’s supposedly interested in IU.

This isn’t a pre-trial diversion meeting, it’s a pre-trial conference. They’re very different. Let one of the lawyers weigh in more than me, but I would not say it’s a guarantee he gets diversion when there is a felony on the table. 
 

He can likely still get a plea deal but they’re gonna take a bite out of his rear end. 

Monroe county will most definitely get the felony plead down or dropped. The other is a fine. He will get offered unsupervised probation and lose his license probably. He’s already had one pre trial conference. He will have a few more. All they are doing now is making sure he won’t screw up in the meantime.

In 1988, I got a 1987 Daytona Pacifica 4 cylinder turbo to 127 mph west of Washington before I had to lift for a big curve coming into Wheatland. 

Hard for me to get excited about what X did.  Foolish, yes, but except for Scott, we've all been young and foolish at some point.

I raced in the exact spot X was caught at. Except I had an 86 Buick grand national. Used to pick on the college kids and their mustang 5.0s. Foolish and fun.

Swain was a little bi... 20 yrs ago. before he wanted to be a bigger fish in a small pond. All hat, no cattle. I will give him credit though, he's weathered the politics of Monroe County (while being a contributor in the storm).  

Won’t argue that. His comments showed that the officer probably got a talking to. Probably no video evidence of what happened. In the spot this occurred it’s easy to lose sight of either car which changes how it’s prosecuted and defended.

It's honestly the biggest of no big deals in the history of no big deals (in the eyes of the court).....pretrial diversion program and it's removed from his record or small probation. Not an issue. Most cases however small or large they are have multiple pretrial conferences on the docket. Basically it's an update to the court....otherwise no big deal.

 

 

This. They keep setting dates making sure you show up and walk the line. Then they will plead everything down. Swain actually walked back and clarified comments.

2nd offense is 25% of games?  That's making it a bigger offense, not less. 3 game suspensions have been for the 2nd offense, at least that's what I've always heard.

I might have some of it wrong. I do know the threshold is so low that it might not even show up and in the past the you sit 3 games for any failed test. I know the criteria has changed. It might be 25% of games after 3 failed. I do know the urine screen trigger has been raised to 150 nano. I think most tests trigger at 50. So basically they raised it to allow recreational numbers.

I honestly could give two s$&ts if anyone smokes week anymore.  But, if the rules of the team or school are that you cannot smoke weed while attending or playing for a university, then you need to follow the rules or face whatever consequences are set forth.  Same thing for the NFL, NBA, etc...  If its legal in the state and by the organization, smoke away.  If its not and you do it anyways, well be prepared for the consequences.  Regardless if its behind the time, doesn't fit with social norms or any other reasoning.  You know the rules.  You don't have to follow them, but you then have no rights to complain afterwards.

 

Those are the old rules. The ncaa changed the thc level rule in February. It’s no longer as big offense. IU even changed their rules to mirror the ncaa. No more 3 game suspensions. They are even considering leaving all of it up to the schools. I believe it’s no punishment for first offense. Second offense is 25% of games. Third is half the games. They rushed the change and are still talking about it. This of course if the school even drug tests and reports it.  I do know Fife made a bigger deal out of the NW incident. He accused players of doing drugs so they tested them when they got back on campus and only one failed.  It pissed Woody off because he took Fifes side. This is second hand info so take it with a grain of salt. Cav reported it.

And according to them Zeller wasn’t a five star and the NC offer was just token. Good grief they are terrible spin doctors.

Its been so long since i have been back to Indiana and Evansville in general. I spent my freshman year in 97 there and it was a good, albeit an expensive year.  I spent most of that year hanging out with the freshman girls soccer players and playing football for its last year before it was scuttled.  Sean Bennett was our running back and was a beast.  I didn't finish out the season, was struggling to be a non-traditional student, commute and play football.  Only time in my whole life i quit a sport.  But academics was more important to me at the time.  

I couldn't tell you where anything is anymore.  growing up, i spent so much time all over evansville once i got my license.

Food is getting better. Pizza is still crap. Everyone told me to go to turonies. That crap is in violation. Only about 3 decent pizza places. The rest is saltine crackers with ketchup and plastic cheese cut into squares.
