Who knows what the reason is for the departure. hate it for him. love how hard he plays. seems like a good thing for us as much as i hate to see it. maybe he is getting "Creaned?" remember when we used to call it that? LOL. anyway, i hope he is gone, but wish him the best. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 2 hours ago, IU Scott said: So much for IU being his dream school. Probably should have stayed at BSU which was a good fit for him.

In a second. “He walked in and we had a good conversation and he had a strong desire to play basketball at the highest level, and how am I going to sit there and talk him out of it,” Lewis told Kris Norton of WITZ radio in Jasper. “I had that opportunity, I had the same dream that he had, I was very fortunate to be able to live that dream, and now he’s got that opportunity. “I said, ‘if you want to play the highest level, you have an interest in Indiana, and if they have an interest in you, it doesn’t get any bigger than that dude. You’ve gotta go do this. Don’t overthink it.'” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it would have worked for him at IU. He’s a good kid. And I like Mike Lewis. Edited my comment to better reflect thread title. Also I don’t know the reason he’s leaving.

I think we posted at same time so it wasn't directly at you by any means. Just a general comment on all the threads. Season has been disappointing for sure but the decision has been made and we move forward....it just seems like whether it's a specific recruit or portal or any of the other threads the folks that hate our staff get in those threads as well. Again just my two cent opinion. Back to the portal talk. Heard some guys talking today that the average portal cost right now for 3-4 starters is 7 figures. What a world all of the adults have created. Geez. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MoyeCowbell Posted March 19 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 19 A lot of people knock Sparks for his limitations as a basketball player at the P5 level, but he always appeared to give effort and I didn't notice any negative attitude. I completely applaud him for putting himself out there and attempting the jump up from BSU. Should he return there, or somewhere similar, I hope he does so with his head held high. He can thrive in the right environment and I'll be rooting for him. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
