opponents now understand ow to get into his head after 10 years of his blow ups.

Dennis Rodman would have destroyed Green.  He was a guy who excelled in provoking other players.

I grew up in Indiana, land of basketball hoops in every driveway.

When I moved to Madison (WI), I saw hockey nets in every driveway. 

Most neighborhoods have a full sized rink they freeze every winter, many with lights.  They are filled with high school kids day and night, all winter long.  People are sad when Spring comes and they have to dismantle them.  

During summer, little kids practice with driveway nets and tennis balls.

Only six national titles for the UW, but it sure is popular here.

DO NOT OPEN ANY OF THOSE. It's very rare! I found a graded 9 selling for $499.99. If yours are sealed they could grade a 10 and be worth $800 to a $1000 each, or more. Don't send in all 10 at once it would drive the price down. So you know my fee is small.....

after a little more digging...only 200 of them were made. Not many could be left. If you could track down the authors from the company and get 3 or 4 signed, it would triple the value.

You're kidding, right?  I honestly thought they were worthless, and the eBay listing was one of those scam posts that sit there for years.  I almost threw them out as clutter.

Thank you, Indy.  Not sure what I'll do next, other than Google:  "How to ask Hayden Panettiere for her autograph."  I'd fly out to Calif for that.

I’d say he’s doubting and the parents/coaches are doing due diligence.

I'd say he's doubting the due diligence his handlers already did.

I have 10 of these from someone who worked at NBC.  Mint, never opened.  No idea what to do with them.  Only one I can find is listed for $169 on eBay (and not selling at that price, which means it's not only worth less, it may be worth a LOT less.)

It's called the Heroes NBC TV Nosfratu comic.  #2.   From 2007.

I'd like to sell, but don't want to deal with eBay.  Any advice?

(Ware) can step out and shoot the long ball.

I've seen this on multiple sites.  Over and over, writers saying he can shoot the three.  Almost every article says so.

Why?

He's a 27% 3-point shooter.  Justin Smith and Race Thompson were 26%.  People cringed when they shot threes.

Illinois was last in the BigTen at 30% 3-point shooting.  Ware's 27% was below the worst team's average.

I hope he has a great Indiana career.  Maybe he will improve.  But until he does, he's exactly the guy other teams want to shoot from three.

I know tons of JPC folks. Zach got close to $900 K last year.

I feel your pain.

HSN has tons of Just Purdue Conversations, too.  It's part of life.

Sounds good! 

 

 

This Holbrook guy has all of 248 followers, drops F bombs like they're on sale at Costco, and called Iowa losing in the NCAA women's title game a victory for America.

I hope we get Dalton K, but there's nothing on this guy's feed that says he's connected, or even smart.

Lmao, it’s back to IU

Insiders, watching each other's Twitter accounts for "news"

April 8, 2024 total eclipse!  Right through Indiana.   

These are so cool.  If you've never seen one, this is your best chance until 2045.

I want Knecht, so every time he scores the crowd can yell

"The name is Dalton." 

Then recruit a wingman for him named Wade Garrett.

Mods, any way this can be merged into the other portal threads?

Mods, can you prevent the OP from starting threads altogether?  He only comes here to advertise Steve Risley.  A new thread each and every time. 

This is spam.

Fans are funny.

Love hits the portal and we all scream "no thank you, no way"

Mutual interest is announced and we are all on pins and needles like its a make or break transfer.  😅

I'm still upset we missed out on Moses Abraham, and his sweet 1 . 6 points per game over his 4-year career.

Why not hang a "2024 Preseason National Champion" banner?

Ha, exactly!

Hang it next to their "2023 Mid-Season National Champion" banner.

Why start threads like this because it only leads to splits in the fan base.

Agree.  Why is this a thread at all?  It could be a post in the MW thread we already have.

That aside, for someone to imply we should show Coach Woodson the door, in order to chase this year's shiny new object, is beyond silly. 

The "he's .525% in the BIG" totally discounts just how terrible Archie Miller was (who himself was once a shiny new object).

Can you imagine starting all over with the '24 and '25 recruits?  

Nope, nope, nope. 

Purdue isn't good enough to win a real national championship, so now they want to redefine what one is.

From their board:

"Then why not have 2 national champions like they do for the conference? 1 regular season and 1 tourney NC?"

 6'6" wing Dalton Knecht.  20 points per game.  Indiana involved. 

Article and video, just posted this morning.

FAU has nine guards on their roster.

Over a dozen small tornadoes yesterday all over southern Wisconsin, right around sunset.  Plus a cool rainbow after the storm.  Damage here was not as bad as Indiana, but still lots of cleanup to do.

Out of curiosity, what did Sallis do at Gonzaga to deserve to start over Galloway?

 

Exactly.  Sallis shoots 25% from three, with 70 games of stats. 

4.4 points and 2 rebounds per game.
