IUFLA

I don't know why Joey left IU, and I especially don't know why he would pick Ohio State...I mean, I'm sure he thought his playing time would be cut at IU, but it's not like OSU was starved for post players... I know Liddell is going to test the NBA waters, but that still leaves Zed Key, Ibrahima Diallo, and Kyle Young as essentially post players. Kinda a crowded front court to transfer into...

Illini pick up Alphonso Plummer from Utah...6'1 PG averaged 13 ppg last year. The Illini Puerto Rican pipeline continues.

Don't look at me...I'm just waiting for a haircut... 💈

Maybe she'll push to rekindle the rivalry... That is way overdue...

😄 OWCC actually won the NJCAA National Championship the year I got my first AS (1995). I use to play pick-up with some of those guys at the school's gym and at Eglin's Base gym (a lot better competition than on campus). Never met Yasir that I know of though...

"Rosemond then played at No. 1-ranked Okaloosa-Walton Junior College in Florida for one season during 1995-96" Hey! That's one of my alma maters...But it was Okaloosa-Walton COMMUNITY College. Now Northwest Florida State College (4 year).

Make the eggs over easy and ditch the syrup for about 10 shakes of Trappey's Red Devil Hot Sauce and that's my favorite breakfast...

Theo John of Marquette now in the portal...a 6'9 PF, but although he was 3 for 4 from 3 last year, not a strength in his game...But a steady 10 pts/10 boards, good defender type...

Anthony Gaines leaves Northwestern for Siena... He was a solid back-up and part time starter for the Wildcats...

Yeah, after review maybe I was reading too much into it... Just struck me as odd that TJD in his presser talked about having Joey back, and then he decides to transfer...

Most managers at a pizza joint will take a pizza that had been made by mistake or had the wrong toppings, and put it out for the drivers/workers to have...this guy would throw it in the trash...said he wasn't going to reward incompetence... The one time he DID put 2 of them out, it was 2 anchovy and onion pizza someone had prank called in...He said we always beeyotched because he never gae us any freebies, so have at... I had never had anchovies on a pizza before, but I was starving...I liked them...Still do...

If they're honest and tell a kid like Joey that he doesn't figure to be in the rotation or he doesn't fit the style of play Coach Woodson wants to employ, that's one thing regardless whether he takes up a scholarship or not. The transfer portal would be pretty much the only choice for a kid that wanted to play. On the other hand, if they explained his role and he didn't like what he heard, that's another. In that case, I simply wondered what Fife thinks he could have said to change Joey's mind based on what Dane said during the interview.

I heard the same... I also heard Dane say that he didn't get a chance to keep Joey from leaving... Didn't sound like Joey was "forced out" but rather made up his mind when they told him his role...

I think that's exactly right... And I also think that when Dane says they're looking to "insulate" the program through himself, Woody, and other former players he's talking about defending the program from that same negativity...negativity that a lot of times was undeserved in my opinion... When Tom Crean or Archie Miller defend IU basketball, that's one thing...when it's Scott May, Quinn Buckner, or Randy Wittman, that's quite another...what journalist in their right mind are going to "pick at the program" (Dane's words) against guys like that?

He sure did!

Internet tough guys have been around as long as the internet itself...Shoot, I've seen fans from other IU boards challenge each other to fights... Anyone else remember the infamous Stellhorn Photo incident?

Devin Askew from UK to UT...

Or how about Tuffy Rhodes? 13 career HRs...3 of them on Opening Day 1994 against cokehead Doc Gooden and the hated Mets...
