Any of you get jaw pain while/after running?

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 04:49 PM) As in the Colorado coach? I know he was at Northern Colorado before that -- does he have some deeper connection to the area that might prevent him from heading somewhere else? I mean, K-State is a step up, but it's not such a massive step that it's reasonable to think he just might like where he's at better. Yeah. Kansas State is definitely a step up in that they actually have a lot of fans that care.

K State I hear is interested in Boyle, Eustachy, Jank and someone else...

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 11:59 AM) Sounds like no announcement of a coach today either. I cannot believe some fans want Reggie Theus. His roster at New Mexico St. was full of transfers, with some due to criminal reasons. It would be funny to see Theus and Hoiberg go after the same reclamation projects. I think Illinois fans would be happy with what we had on the floor this year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) In all seriousness, who's really out there? Groce is probably the best of the worst, at this point. I think you have to look more at his background as an OSU recruiter than what he's done with Ohio U. The main question you always have is how much was this guy responsible for bringing all that talent into OSU? How much of it was Matta and his reputation? It reminds me a lot of the Lickliter situation at Iowa. It turns out that Barry Collier, Matta and Stephens were much more responsible for the success of that program than Lickliter, particularly Matta and Stephens. And the assistants he brought with him to Iowa were the least experienced and unable to adapt to the B10 in order to hit the ground running. Then he lost Tyler Smith (many said the same thing would have happened anyway, had Alford stayed) to Bruce Pearl and UT, and managed to run off half the players from the Alford days. It wasn't until the last year, when it was too late, that Lickliter's staff finally started getting some "decent" guys like Ben Brust, Aaron Fuller and Cody Larson (Florida). In the end, you have to be able to protect your neighborhood, and Iowa lost too many players like LaFrentz, Collison, Hinrich, Jason Bohannon (his dad played for the Hawkeye football program)...when you have a Harrison Barnes in your state, Iowa and ISU can't lose him to a Kansas or UNC every time if they ever want to be very good basketball programs again. The funny thing is that by the time Alford really started to learn how to handle the media and coaching, had a good staff and recruiters, Alford saw the writing on the wall and bolted for UNM, where he's done much better than he ever did at Iowa. Of course, there's no way anyone in Iowa would take Al-FRAUD back, despite his recent success. But if the Board of Trustees if resisting...and there are questions about the reception he would get from the CPL coaches, then Groce is better off staying put and waiting for another opportunity. Just because one member of the BofT wants Shaka Smart or Anthony Grant or whoever doesn't mean it's going to happen. I can just imagine they will end up with someone like Johnny Dawkins from Stanford now, or Quin Snyder, haha. I agree. While it's not the determining factor, there's no good reason that good Chicago kids don't go to Illinois. (Side note: Harrison Barnes ends up at Iowa State if McDermott leaves sooner.) I'm not sure what other target Illinois can get with head coaching experience. I wonder if Tad Boyle at Colorado would be someone they'd be interested in/could get interested in Illinois. He's a pretty damn good coach.

Carl Everett starts a game in CF.

After experiencing the Hoiberg hire....(I'm willing to bet that you guys would have went after him if there was any chance he'd leave) What kind of system does Groce run? How would it fit into the Big Ten? Also, it sounds like he was a recruiter for Ohio State....be interesting to see what his plan was to recruit Chicago. His hires will be pretty important. It's important at least that he's been a part of some good programs.

Shameless was damn intense tonight.

As Lee Corso once said, "f*** it." 15-8.

The thought was that he was unhappy with the A.D. at K State. I really don't think he'd consider South Carolina otherwise.

So, yeah.

Looks like the Frank Martin train might be headed to South Carolina....

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 22, 2012 -> 10:09 PM) :lolhitting Apparently we're looking at Alex Oriakhi too.

Yay, looks like Iowa State will be landing another teams leading scorer as a transfer. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball...6/trent-lockett

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) Why is it shady to recruit players playing for other schools, but not coaches under contract at other schools? I certainly hope coaches who feel free to leave whenever they feel like it wouldn't have a problem with another school talking with their better players about perhaps a better opportunity. Regardless of what you think about it, it is VERY much against NCAA rules.

So which of these guys are transferring to Iowa State? Royce White already said he'd recommend it to Lockett from Arizona State.....

Sounds like Royce White is declaring.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 05:22 PM) Yeah all the rumors seem to indicate that Shaka is hesitant because of the "murkiness" of Chicago recruiting. If that's the case, I dunno that he's ready for a D1 job. There's murkiness for just about every high level recruit, especially recruits coming out of big cities. And I said last week in a dream world you'd have Smith and Howard as your lead recruiters. That would be amazing. Ummm....D1?

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 18, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) Shady yes but not surprising. I also wouldnt be quick to judge if I was a fan of a school that brought in so many transfers. The next time you hear about something shady with Fred Hoiberg as the coach, feel free to post it.

Lehigh can beat both Xavier and Baylor.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 17, 2012 -> 08:26 PM) Iowa St. tied it up, and then played as bad as you can for a minute to give Kentucky a 6 point lead again. We never hit 3's. 3 for 22 obviously isn't gonna do it. Proud of our effort though. This season ended much better than I thought it would after the start. We gave Kentucky our best shot for about 25 minutes but couldn't take the lead. Hoiberg proved he could coach this year. (Him getting a T is about the craziest thing ever) We have a chance to be really good with Royce coming back for one more year. If not, it's a question mark. But if he goes pro I'm glad the nation got to see a little bit of him. He's a crazy special player that the city of Ames fell in love with, and not just because of what he does on the court. Can't wait for next season.

God I hope Royce White comes back.

America gets to meet Kevin Pangos.
