We need perimeter shooting, badly.  With that being said, I’m adding the best shooter in the game in Steph Curry.

Hope it is on rotating neutral sites with Indy and Louisville like the old days.  Miss the split crowds, was awesome to watch.  I could care less about a home and home series and don’t understand why people get so hung up on it.  There’s other programs, like Kansas, for that.  Gotta start thinking like a national program and not a mom & pops setup.

Civil War is the best one of the bunch.

Close W over a very bad team.  I’ll take it, could be few and far between.

Probably Maryland.

Saw Chris over at BTB say the same thing. 2023 class is starting to thin out so hopefully we can get Page and Harris-Smith. 

Yeah 2023 not looking to great.  Not too concerned, I’ll only be concerned if we’re in the same boat in 24 & 25.  Good news is 8,000 players will be in the portal next spring.

Got any interesting Russell stories Bgleas?

PAC/B12 alliance and or merger isn’t happening as talks were called off.  Sounds like the B12 will instead target the four corner schools (Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State).

Trimming his list down to the top 6 on July 25. 

Anyone with any intel?

This kid is going to be really, really good.  Want him in the candy stripes.

ACC GOR is nearly ironclad…..unless 8 or more schools fight it.  They can bleed out and fall behind til 2036 or make a move.  I think it happens eventually, they have no choice or they fall behind greatly.  Big 12 would be foolish to not finish off the PAC and take the four corner schools.  They need to be proactive.  Schools SEC wants are in ACC.  Big Ten wants Notre Dame, no secret there.  Lots of craziness going on.

Notre Dame, followed by Stanford, Washington and Oregon, rumored to be next.

4. Invest some more money into Assembly Hall.

I understand, but does not change how I feel.

My dream Big Ten

Illinois

Indiana

Iowa

Michigan

Michigan State

Minnesota

Northwestern

Ohio State

Purdue

Wisconsin

 

This, except kick Northwestern out and add one of Louisville, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Missouri, Iowa State or someone else.

Probably Oregon for sure to follow.  Still have heard rumblings of Kansas eventually as well.

Sometimes I really really hate college football and how it’s driving all of these moronic moves.

UNC was a completely different team with Manek in the game. His competitiveness really cranked up their intensity, and fired up their fans. He also looked for the big shot in big moments.  Manek was also very physical and did all the small things not seen on the stat sheet.

He was their Race Thompson, maybe just a little more clutch.

Sucks.  He was a terrific player for Purdue.  Rip.

Everyone wanted a tougher schedule, looks like we got one.  Time to show up and show out.

I saw on BTB that Galloway is expected to be able to start doing shooting drills in a matter of weeks. I hope that's true and he commits to making 1k 3-pointers every day. 

I hope the whole backcourt is taking 1k 3-pointers a day.  We need them to be efficient to really have a run this year.

All for it, and though I think it'd be better on the campuses, if the only way to get it is a neutral site, so be it..

I liked it better when it was played at neutral sites.  Sea of red on one side and sea of blue on the other.  Don’t know why most are hung up on the home and home aspect, there’s other big name programs we can get for that.

Top 15-20 with TJD returning.  If this team can learn how to hit threes and score consistently, could be a top 10 team and a final four darkhorse imo.

Honestly if i was a player, I wouldn’t care.  Costs would be covered either way and I could be making some extra as well.
