Agree but at the time of the draft it wasn't so apparent that OG would be this good.  Also he was coming off a knee injury. Hindsight is always 20/20

Agree on OG. My biggest issue is that they used 1st round picks on guys that couldn’t stay in the NBA. 
Kind of strained, but it reminds me of that Colts draft (2013 I think) where every pick was out of the league in a few years. It’s not the individual picks so much as the fact that the franchise completely whiffed. 

I think I’ve posted our puppy. 
He’s about 6 months old now. He’s tall, lanky, and uncoordinated.

My guy Tank gave us a scare today. Not necessarily out of the woods, yet, either. Please pray for my wife and Tank. 

Tank had a stroke last night and turns 10 years old at the end of this month. Strokes aren't usually as serious in dogs as humans, and it appears that's the case with Tank, but nonetheless he has lost (at least temporarily) some motor skills. 

We simply worry about a relapse or whatever. 

Anyways.. he's a goooooood dog, shew. Tearing up now. 

Is Tank a mini Aussie?

Pacers fans seem skeptical of drafting because of Goga and Leaf.  They were 1st round picks that couldn’t really make it. 
Not picking OG wouldn’t be a huge deal if the guy they picked over him could stay in the league.

So Tshiebwe is a fit but TJD is not ?   Pacers just didn't think their fans would approve of a similar agreement with TJD ?

If Tshiebwe was a fit he’d get a 3 year contract. He’s more of a gamble for the Pacers.

Was that your quote on Scheyer, because I saw a picture of CMW hugging JHS as he was selected? He did the same as what Scheyer is being lauded for.

Except Woody did it with a …few years on Scheyer a few weeks after knee surgery. I don’t actually know him, but Woody seemed genuinely excited.

The nuts it takes for a Kentucky fan to accuse another school of wrongdoing is breathtaking...

 

You’d think they would be a little wary to call out tampering after it got them Oscar.

I tell myself this about once a week. I won't get ticked off we had this guy in the holster for 20 years.....I won't get ticked off we had this guy in the holster for 20 years.....but thank you Scott Dolson. Coach Woodson is just a perfect guy at the right time for this program. Perfect blend of past to present and I couldn't be happier about him leading the charge. 

 

I just tell myself he hasn’t always had this much experience. 20 years ago He wouldn’t have been this coach. 
 

That said, 6 years ago…

I’ll admit I wasn’t the biggest fan of the hire initially, but I came around about 8 hours later after hearing some reactions.

Got a commercial, but I’m watching from the FanDuel Sportsbook in Atlantic City. 

It’s a nice night for some yard work and a Bells Oberon.

Browsing the Boiler's board, I found this...

Where is @Purdue7 to condemn this...this...this travesty! This abomination! Oh, the agony!   

Though I seriously doubt $5 or $10 million dollars a year are in play for Edey, my real thought on the Boiler anguish is...

You suckers are finally getting it  

I saw something floating around that seemed fake, but this could be different. This definitely raises some questions. 
It seems like PU doesn’t have a ton of NIL money, but they’re getting $10 million now?

If he uses his Covid year not at Purdue, is he transferring?

Why would he have to walk on? If they can get him $10 million you’d think they could save a scholarship. 

Purdue fans haven’t seemed very happy about NIL. Now they not only have lots of money for it but are ok with a player changing his visa for it?

Wonder what the dude who saw the X text messages between him and Ware is hearing right now lol. 

What was that story? I must have missed it.

Bringing a little humor to the board tonight. Got a great doctor report today while being overly anxious about the potential. Here’s to the off-season!

Congrats on the good news!

This was a heck of a post to start by reading the tweet and nothing else. 

We always do a cookout for derby that runs all day. There isn’t a book, but we do jackpots on every race. Each race has a $0.50 one then derby usually has $1, $5, and occasionally $10 or $20. 
 

I don’t follow the race a whole lot other than trying to catch a few between grilling. 

Per Twitter Sampson James is officially back as a walk on. 

We’re at Upland in Jeffersonville and got Breaking Away in a flight. That seems appropriate today. 

We added another puppy to our pack. This is Remi - short for Remus. We’ve had him about 2 months now.

Someone’s who’s a member on BTB tell Stuhoo to get off my nuts. I don’t post stuff to post stuff. I have a life. College basketball is now the Wild Wild West. I won’t hit every time. I share what I hear. I don’t claim to be someone I’m not. been posting for over 15 years all the way back to the Scout days. 

Showoff.

There's that loophole we were looking for. Love it!

I had the idea now someone else can bring the cash and we’ll do it!

While understanding the NCAA has a ton of rules they don't enforce, I believe with NIL you technically can't tie it staying at a particular university. 

But, there are always loop holes and I'd bet if Nijel Pack transferred again somehow his Ruiz deal would magically disappear. 

I’ve thought about this a few times. You can’t tie it to attending a school, but you can make the deal contingent on physical appearances. 
 

If the deal is $x for 8 appearances at an event that happens to be near campus it makes the legal NIL deal tough to fulfill from a different school.

I figure you guys will lose Morton, Furst, and TKR.

Does Edey come back?

He patched a lot of holes this year. Even tonight they got a lot of offensive rebounds from him tapping the ball out. 

Montana State in a close one early. 
 

Relevant here considering all the recruiting battles that come down to them and IU.

They were so limited with their guards lack of passing skills and athleticism. They fronted Edey and had backside help and the guards couldn’t get him the ball because they didn’t trust their passing skills. It was a good coaching decision by FDU’s coach.

They were in a tough spot. Their guards just struggled and there wasn’t much else to do. 
I didn’t really think they could lose until a late possession where Gillis looked scared to shoot a wide open 3.

That’s good for him. He seems like a likable guy. I’m surprised ND hasn’t contacted him.
