Like an imminent type thing for Rice? That's what is being floated other places. 

Decisions been made but no clue about an announcement.

I ask this in all sincerity, was there ever anything other than message board speculation on him?  Did any of our posters who hear things even mention this?  I really can’t remember. 

I’m the one who shared it. I was told he was going to enter after the NIT. Apparently Diebler was able to hang onto him. They will be good next year. 

Well, Thornton back to OSU. Not good.

Apparently not so fast on this one.

(fine by me)

I graduated with about 750 or so. By the time my youngest sister graduated nine years later, her graduating class was literally double the size.

I had 43.

Can you give me a breakdown of Perkins? I know you posted he was a winner and a bulldog but these stats just don’t excite me unless these last 11 games he was injured then that changes things a little. We need ALOT of shooters and adding him as someone who will need/want big time minutes just doesn’t excite me especially if we are adding Tucker who isn’t good at 3’s and not sure Mgbako is gonna be good at threes next year either. 

I didn’t say that. I said I haven’t heard anything about him but would love to have him. 

We will add shooters. That’s just what we are working with now (sorta).

Perkins

Tucker or Trey 

Mackenzie

Reneau.

Technically that's two.  

Oh I was just talking about Tucker. No ones told me anything about Perkins but I’d love him

Yes, we got him. Now six more to go.

Guessing this means Thornton fell through?

No. We need 7 players. And several guards. 

I'm sure he will throw his name into the draft to get feedback. Can't hurt. But yeah, nowhere near ready. 

Really want Perkins but haven't heard a peep.

Well the NIT ended last night for OSU. Thornton is the PG I wanted for IU

Im aware scott. Im talking about the entire tournament to end. Then his name will pop up. 

Can't speak on them. 

"Trey and Ant think so". In regards to Tucker and Blazi. I still dont understand Blazi....hes not much of a player.

Bruce is just waiting for the NIT to end. He'll be our starting PG. Thats what it sounds like as of now. 

After being done w/ my pouting, this is who I realistically think we land as of now.

Tucker

Blazi 

Bruce Thorton 

4 more to be named.

i think this staff will take the first 7 warm bodies that say yes

Yep. I heard they just found 1 bouncing a ball outside Teter. Looked like he had good handles.

And yet you sort of are, by insinuation, no? Maybe it is just me.

I stated why hes gone, which is true. But didnt expend because going into detail would get me kicked off the forum, again. Anything else Tom?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I've seen you post that repeatedly. Even just in this thread. Got anything to back that up?

You can DM me. We can’t talk politics here.

Way more *

We will take anyone that has a lick of talent. We need 7, SEVEN players. We will be asking players from the HPER like Crean did soon.

TW was what I thought of, as well... TW was more refined than this kid, at this age, IMO---- but Blazi is 1-2 inches taller, but TW's wingspan, somehow was only 6'8. This kids is 7'2. 

Troy played at Oak Hill and was almost a mcdonalds all american. This kid has nowhere near the talent troy had.

Fife was the smartest basketball mind on the staff at the time. He was pushed out because him and Woodson didn't get along at all and that's putting it mildly. Thad wasn't pushed out. He worked for Dolson and not Woodson. 

We cant talk politics here but Dane was "let go" for his political views. What a sad world we live in.  Now look at our program. A disaster.
