QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 1, 2007 -> 03:02 PM) Congratulations to Coach Knight on 880. Yes of course. I liked how he had his own little way of saying 'f*** you Miles Brand'.

Id say less than 60% are good looking. But this thread is f***ed up.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 31, 2006 -> 04:28 AM) Claussen is the most overrated, overhyped prospect i've ever seen. He got fat on inferior competition with great talent on his team, and will be a bust just like his brothers. Not a slight towards Notre Dame though, they have recruited well at QB recently and have some other guys that actually are really good and will step in, Demetrius Jones among others. But ol' Jimmy is Ron Pawlus part 2, just hope he doesn't get as much PT as the latter did. What are you talking about? He did not lose a game in high school! And Marc Tyler broke his leg the last game of the regular season so you can't even say he wasnt the one who led them to another title.

Thats what a lot of Michigan fans were saying about Clayton Richard (Who is now in the Sox minors) who was the first person ever in Indiana to make all state all 4 years as a high schooler and won Mr. Football as a senior. I remember he had an absoulute cannon for an arm too. Also do not forget about Clausen, who has yet to lose a game in his career. He's been getting a huge amount of hype from ESPN since he was a freshman in high school.

God, next year with EJ we should be sick.

I really dont think Purdue is that good. They play all the teams they call 'decent' at home or on a neutral court. I think they have like a 26 or so losing streak non conference away game losing streak.

1. I have a basketball signed by the whole 1976 Indiana basketball team. The last undefeated team. 2. I also have never broken a bone. 3. I went to Hooters all you can eat wing Wednesday for 20 straight weeks from July 2006-December 2006. I didn't go last week because I think my blood was pure bbq. 4. I'm starting a new streak of Wednesdays tonight... 5. I will be attending a Division 1 college and have a scholarship to pitch.

See that Mcknight has dropped ND from his list. Oh well it was only false hope anyway. The AA game hopefully will be HUGE for the Irish.

I dont root for any team, but I got the Bears so put me on the bandwagon!

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Dec 24, 2006 -> 03:21 AM) Hmm, well, I can tell you that you're not gonna get Chris Donald. So, no, no Top 3 for you, and IMO, Chris Walker is a better prospect than Golden Tate, which would make TN have 2/3 of the state's Top 3. You got so f'n lucky w/ Smith too. If he weren't from Knoxville, he would have gone to TN, but he wanted to get out of his hometown in the end. So, if not for the location factor, Weis would have left the state w/ only Tate, who TN wasn't really recruiting that heavily, though I do believe that was a mistake on our part, as I think he'll be a very solid player. I don't know, Weis just publicly stated theres going to be a couple big suprises during the AA game for the Irish. But I've also heard Donald has been an Irish lean for quite some time now.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 07:48 PM) To Oden? Oden is pretty mediocre offensively. He reminds of one of those akward kids who has yet to grow into his body(judging by his terrible conditioning, he is just that). He controls his own fate down low but that wdoes not help in his case. Florida did not even have to double him up. Right now he is a burden offensively speaking for OSU, but he's by far their best defensive player so what can you do? Well he's obviously going to be sluggish on offense because he cant even bend his shooting wrist and his conditioning is not quite up to par yet with what it was last year. To call his offense mediocre though is a little far I think.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) That was exactly my point, actually. Hah, he's playing with one hand and hes dominating. Hes also stated numerous times that he's staying for 4 years. Oh and about the defense thing? Hes getting 4 blocks a game right now!

Ok, Florida won the National Championship last year and has their whole team back. Ohio State has the best recruiting class in the past decade added to one of the best backcourts in the nation. In that class is the best big man to come along out of high school in probably 30 years.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 09:44 PM) It would surprise me. When either of these beat a team of note(each other would not count in this case, of course), get back to me. Your joking right?

Anyone just see Noah chestbump Oden? Come on Greg ODENATE his ass!

Wow, I guess I didnt realize how deep Ohio State really is. And another great recruiting class coming in.... damn

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 04:56 AM) Well that extended rant was pretty pointless. The fact that the waddler can't beat a 2-10 team for any recruits is almost as frightening as Illinois will be with all these players. Oh, and enjoy your slow bad defenses, since that's all you'll see as long as Weis is there. Anybody with talent will be playing for his offense. Maybe before you open your mouth you should check out these past 2 recruiting classes and check out the speed Weis is getting on the defensive side of the ball.

As I assumed earlier, 4 star Harrison Smith picks the Irish! Has a sub 4.3 forty. Finally getting some ridiculous speed on our team.

I'm reading Charlie Weis' new book called "No Excuses". Even if you arn't a fan of him I'd suggest reading it.

Wow, Basset just keeps impressing. He's going to be a hell of a point guard in the years to come.

Thats nuts that he plays on the Indiana Elite and hes from N.H. Come on Sampson!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 22, 2006 -> 04:35 AM) The Waddler gets owned by Zook again. What a class. Is this statement directed at Notre Dame? Because if it is you are a fool, I will take a top 3 class and winning more than 2 games a year. And just so you know, Harrison Smith who is annoucing today has been considered an ND lean and as is Chris Donald. Both reign from Tennesee and that would make a clean sweep for ND of their big three. Lets just remember, Zook also has to coach these recruits. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that Wilson can kiss the chance at a BCS bowl every year away. Weis>>>Zook

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 20, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) This tells me all i need to know right here. Certainly both Sampson and EJ handled it poorly IMO. Hard to be a well respected coach when your conference already can't stand you... Show me where those coaches say they couldnt stand Sampson. Izzo may of said the way he handled was wrong, but he still respects Sampson a hell of a lot. They started out coaching with each other and I still hear they are pretty good friends. And Painter would obviously say that, seeing as he bleeds gold and black and well, they are our rivals, and he's pissed Gordon didn't give him the time of day. Sour Grapes must suck.
