I think he later got fact checked and admitted it was 108%

If I were Target. Auto Zone. And the other businesses in that part of Minnesota.  That got looted or burned to the ground.  I would never open up again.  Those people that rioted last night don't deserve businesses like that.

Having said that.  Protest. Peacefully.  And ask.... why is not that police officer not arrested for murder ? 

Yeah. I know. Not Caronavirus related.   However, during this time.  Just had to get this off my chest.

I might be wrong but from what I saw the riots turned violent after police attacked peaceful protests with Rubber bullets and tear gas. 

I alternate between Enders Game and the Moon is a Harsh mistress as my favorite fiction book. 
 

Favorite non fiction is probably Six Frigates by Ian Toll.  It follows the formation of the US Navy up through 1815.  Stephen Decatur you might have heard of a place or two named after him.  Was pretty much the first American action hero.  

I doubt the university would let that get started.

Had a GF that made me say that a lot. Didn’t know that’s how you pronounced the state capital though. 

Now with a spare scholarship any chance this kid wants to reclass and red shirt?

Enough can’t be said for how important Ostrom is to this staff. He’s been the key piece for several important commits in the Archie era. He does a terrific job of knowing who the key players are in a recruitment and being laser focused on building those relationships early. If he’s the lead recruiter on a kid who lives in Indiana and that kid tells the media that IU is recruiting them the hardest, the odds are pretty favorable for IU as he’s been able to close most of those kids. 

Yeah I have never understood why some in the fanbase are unhappy with him.  

The best shot is actually going to the line with decent FT shooters. 
 

3 point shot at 45% which is a bit fantastic is and expected point total of 1.35  

Set of Free Throws at 80% which is frankly something that is very attainable despite our failure to do so. Has an expected value of 1.44.

Thanks for info on Kaufman. Didn't realize that. Always tells or whatever you want to call them in recruiting but appears to me Archie is zeroing in on a couple of kids. Probably means the kids from Fort Wayne aren't the priority. Does anyone agree that's fair at this point to say? Or no?

Gonna need multiple bigs

I think I read he had made unofficial visit to UVA, but I don't think they'd offered.

Yeah Virginia was interested but not all in on him.

And?

These things happen thus class size isn’t as big a deal.

And yet the new talking point is class size doesn't matter in this day and age. 

In order to achieve that balance Archie had 2 transfers and a one and done depart.

In case anyone is wondering.  Bruiser Flint was the lead recruiter for Geronimo

Hopefully this is another Phinisee not a Forrester.

Not sure if itd work the same or not.....but could you cover it with Purdue bumper stickers????  Maybe get them in trouble and if the question is asked why an IU fan has PU stuff all over their boat......just say its cuz shit floats.

I’ve always wondered if you could sabotage a schools chance with a recruit. Like could somebody donate a bunch of money to U6 then take the Landers out to eat after a game

With the way the scoring works (more points for longer correct picks), I don't see why anyone would pick "?", just make a guess or don't log a pick, but what do I know?

Do you get points for that if nobody is right or if the kid foregoes college?  Just pondering why because your right it seems odd

Bump.  In response to question about a 2021 thread.

Gracias 

An all Indiana/Top 50 class would be incredible here.

I love all the Ken Burns documentaries, Civil War is my favorite. 

Not Burns but the 12 part mini series America: The Story of Us is top notch.

Been wanting to rewatch that lately.
