After Nunn's "incidental" contact.

Yea Nunn got away easy on that call, he maybe should've gotten a flagrant for that. However, love the toughness of the freshman in that game. They didn't back down but also didn't instigate farther when they could've easily.

 

2 open scholarships but I would guess they would take 3 more if it is the right 3 (i.e. Charles Matthews). They will want a PG and big with the 2 open ships and would obviously take Matthews as well.

Yup, Matthews has to be target #1 imo (Brunson would be right there if we had any chance). After that we need a big, someone like Moore, Thomas, Bragg, or this Sharma kid would be great to balance out the class.

Newbill deserved his ejection, but Nunn probably deserved a technical or something, blatantly ran into him. Do like to see a freshman show some toughness though.

 

Penn State is really really bad at basketball, that was ugly

Aaron Jordan commits. Good recruit and Crean really wanted him.

 

Heck of a pick-up for Illinois. Crean was all over the kid, but became fairly obvious he wasn't coming (a lot like Malachi Richardson) when Blackmon re-committed. With Fischer leaving, Crean's main focus has to be on big men. Need them bad with the backcourt of Ferrell, Blackmon, Robinson, and Johnson in the future.

Definitely bigs. TJ Leaf and Stephen Zimmerman, yes please. Also Carlton Bragg (isn't he more of a big 3/stretch 4 or am I mixing him up with someone else?).

Maybe Thad will let Crean borrow Bragg for a game or two?

Haha that guy is a beast. Think he ends up at UK though. Would think Crean will wait it out a bit and wait for some coaching changes and see who becomes available. Also would be ideal to grab a 5th year transfer from somewhere. They'll be another transfer by years end from a SF/G... Of that I'm sure. I can't see Vonleh staying, but if he does, a very, very big year will be expected again for the team.

Yeah, UI is in on Bragg too. I also think he ends up UK.

McCaffery ignited Wisconsin. Dumb

lol

 

Put this in the wrong thread

 

Wow McCaffery just went ballistic and got thrown out of the game giving Wisconsin 4 free throws.

 

Dave Sobolewski was so confident and cocky at Benet. At NW, he looks the opposite.

These refs are pretty bad both ways.

Ya I saw him play his senior year at the Proviso tourney and he was definitely a cocky sob

I mean he and Kaminsky beat a Jabari/Steve Taylor Simeon team.

Sobolewski seems to be getting worse. He was capable as a freshman, okay considering he was carrying too big a role last year, and god-awful this year. He was never an athletic marvel, but he can't even make open shots anymore.

The SIU team is stuck in a ditch on I57, SOMEONE GO HELP!!! Actually, just leave them there.

Not Hinson though. Was on recruiting trip.

 

Stuck in a ditch literally and figuratively.

The way Vonleh has lost a little bit of the hype he was getting early in the year, I wouldn't be surprised if he stays a second year. Wouldn't be surprised either way.

Damn it. Iowa couldn't hold onto their nice 1st half lead.

Those calls were f***ing absurd.

That was a great day of HS hoops at uic. Their student section was awesome.

He is still projected as a top 10 pick, if it stays that way he is gone.

I thought he had fallen into the 14-20 range. If that's the case, and with a presumably weaker draft class the following year, I could see him staying. But top 10? He should go.

I think we are more in on Kennard, but Bragg is at the top of everyone's list.

Its clear to me how talented he is, and I think his production kicks into high gear near the end of the season which will keep him up there.

Those calls were f***ing absurd.

Yes they were, but it is SOP on the road in the Big 10.
