cabiness42 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Why couldn't the upcoming penalties to the women's program have been determined before April 3? Would have been nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) I've barely seen any of them play. The Hoosiers look more explosive from that extremely limited sampling, but the OSU guys have a much clearer path to major minutes since there are two starting spots open. One thing is for sure, the conference is going to be f***ing torture the next few years, I hope it doesnt hurt our seeds in the dance. Once again holding serve at home and hopefully taking a few on the road is going to be how you win a conf championship. I was ready to concede next year's but with Thomas back we have a chance. IU, MSU, OSU, WI, UM and maybe even PU if their freshman are as good as advertised are all going to be very dangerous next year. Â And the similarities between OSU football fans and IU bball fans are very funny sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically did a Kelvin Sampson and so did their womens coach. They also paid scouts, convinced AAU coaches to lie to the NCAA among other infractions. FTM comes with a pretty harsh penalty at times, definitely scholarship reductions and MAYBE vacating wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough kid, great shooter, nice handles. Big drawback is he is a bit short. Light too IIRC. The PG's in the Big Ten are pretty physical these days so we'll see where the guy fits in. There's going to be some really good guard and wing play in the conference for years to come. Its too bad post play has been one and done for the most part otherwise that would be good as well.

GR is going to be a beast, I heard that McGary was fat, slow and limping at the last tourney he played in. Any insight on that? Â I haven't seen Mitch live since three years ago. I watched him play a prep game on ESPN very early in the season, and he looked amazing. Work ethic on and off of the floor has always been his issue, so I wouldn't be shocked if he started reading his own press and slacked off again. This is a kid who almost failed out of school as a sophomore. He also played the single best game of HS basketball I have ever seen, so you can't teach that part. Â Trey needs to learn to play hard for an entire game, if he does that, he will be a very good player. He has NBA type athletic ability, but just goes hard for spurts. Â The conference already has a couple of other young kids to keep an eye on for the next couple of years too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only see Scout rankings but he is up there as far as positional rankings. Is he a legacy or something? He really only holds a badger offer.

Soxbadger Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Not a legacy, his dad is the coach at the HS and I think Wisconsin was one of the first schools to offer. Im pretty sure when Wisconsin offered he was a 3/4*, but that was mainly because he was at a small school. Once he started getting press, his stock has risen exponentially.

He's going to foul out in 10 minutes a few times next year. Purdue needs some shooters, BAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also paid scouts, convinced AAU coaches to lie to the NCAA among other infractions. FTM comes with a pretty harsh penalty at times, definitely scholarship reductions and MAYBE vacating wins. Â I heard Sampson held a recruiting seminar a couple of years ago. I believe Drew sat in the front row! Â I can't personally verify it, but it has been reported at least amongst IU circles, that one of his assistants told Hanner Perea's coach (by voicemail or text) that if Perea chose IU he would never see IU's campus because he had enough info to get him deported out of the country. Of course, if he went to Baylor, all would be just fine. Stay Classy Waco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what makes college basketball great. Now let's get Watford to join Burke and Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
