On occasion, a really good wrestler can wrestle up 2-3 weight classes successfully, but the more size disparity you have, the greater the talent differential needed to overcome it. Class basketball is very similar in that respect. Small schools need great talent to overcome the law of large numbers that would apply to the Lawrence Norths of the world. I get that the charm of a single class tournament was a uniquely Indiana thing and it's been hard to let go of, but I can tell you emphatically that now that they have tasted success, successful small schools like Barr-Reeve, they want nothing to do with having to compete with schools of several thousand students. I get it...but I wanted to play the best...as a competitor I wanted to win it all! I thought we were good enough to do it...and in fact I think we had a chance if some plays went one way or another. We were really good. Not saying we should have won but had a reasonable chance. It was a chance to make history...achieve something no one had done. Maybe things have changed with kids...or maybe just parents and admin because I know there are kids out there that want to take their shot at the big boys too. Anyways...genie is out of the bottle...just glad my year was the last for class ball...wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you made this comparison in the context of this discussion. Wrestling is one of the few sports in the state that still has a single class tournament. Makes it way more meaningful IMO.

Sherron credits Knight with helping him straighten some things out in his life, and was actually an assistant under Pat Knight at one time. . I don;t know if the good will extends to the actual university or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Regarding Sherron. He was best friends with my friend so we got a chance to hang out with him quite a bit. That whole ordeal that went down was my first introduction to what is real and what is being reported. By his own admissions he needed to grow up and by all accounts he has. Wish him nothing but the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danomatic Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I get to see Sherron quite a bit now and he’s moved on, but has nothing but positive things to say about IU. He has a pretty decent young team in Madison. Hopefully he can help reignite the Cubs program. Great guy and great leader for the youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a good friend from Indy that has watched several silver creek and reitz games including the Southport tourney and he came away with Jacobi looking better than lander at times Kooper had a solid game. He made 4 three pointers, which is usually not what he does. he normally has a strong mid-range game. But, they were giving it to him and he took advantage. In the first half, SC kept rotating Kaufman and Jacobi onto Leal. In the 2nd half, it was almost exclusively Jacobi on Leal, and that seemed to work well, as Leal only had 2 second half points before the game winner. The game winner itself was off an in-bounds play with Leal taking it out and Kaufman guarding the pass itself to get some extra length. Bloomington South just ran the play to perfection and Leal made a clutch shot. I'm disappointed in how it turned out, but not upset. Both teams played extremely well, but South made the clutch plays at the end of the game. 3 huge three pointers in the last 90 seconds to erase a 5 point lead.

5fouls Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 A couple of in depth stories on Kaufman this week. One in Louisville Courier Journal. The other in IndyStar. On phone instead of laptop, so I don't know how to insert link. But wanted to let HoosierNation know in case you're interested. The Star article, in particular, has a lot of great info.
