Actually just waiting for test scores. http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com...ared-to-enroll/ Don't get too excited yet, transcript issue. Laquinton Ross came to OSU with a transcript written in pencil which was way worse.
July 15, 201411 yr SIU released their schedule today and wow...Brian, Kyyle and myself could go .500 in non conference.

Hinson won't schedule tough until he knows the team can take it. He did that stuff with MSU and it cost them at large bids because their OOC RPI dragged them down
July 17, 201411 yr Fred Hoiberg had his pacemaker replaced yesterday. I know y'all miss him from his Bulls days.

Is there any way in hell he can turn that program back around? You guys got any good players yet under Barry?

Is there any way in hell he can turn that program back around? You guys got any good players yet under Barry? He's already turning it around. Kyle, Rowand, and myself talk about it right here every year. In fact we are thinking about starting our own web based show or podcast with weekly staples such as "What else could Lowery screw up?" and "What job is Torres Roundtree holding this week?". Gonna be huge!

Is there any way in hell he can turn that program back around? You guys got any good players yet under Barry? It was the only head coaching job he'd get. And yes, he's doing a very good job so far turning around the program but the weak scheduling does no good for anybody. QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 05:52 AM) He's already turning it around.

I met him in Lawrence and he's pretty much one of a kind. Helluva nice guy. One of the best. The tragedy with his son in law was unthinkably sad.

August 19, 201411 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 19, 2014 -> 09:52 AM) My biggest worry is who will be 2nd scorer to take pressure off Beane or if he's off? O'Brien and Smithpeters will have to take a step forward, and either Lavender or Fletcher(whoever isnt redshirting). I really dont know what to expect from Bola this year. He was two different players last year, the end of the season he was a beast, and in the beginning he looked like 5 fouls in 1 minute.

I think it might have to be one the of the freshman. I like O'brien and Smithpeters but I'm not sure either of them can be that 2nd option.

I really dont know what to expect from Bola this year. He was two different players last year, the end of the season he was a beast, and in the beginning he looked like 5 fouls in 1 minute. Outside of highlight videos I haven't seen Lavendar play but from everything I've read, he's probably the one most ready to jump right in and score for us. Fletcher I have seen play a few times and he might be the best of the bunch by the time he's a senior(super athlete) but he's still extremely raw and I don't think he's going to be doing too much scoring for us right off the bat. I do think he'll help us on the defensive end of things right away though.
September 1, 201411 yr Roy Marble, Iowa's all time leading scorer and father of Devyn, diagnosed with cancer. He has had several issues with the law since his heyday, but this is sad. 3 tumors in his head and it has supposedly spread to other parts of his body. I think he is in his mid 40s.

Hopefully Starks is pretty good, because Tate can't handle the whole load. Cosby can help at the one too. It isn't ideal, but the Illini did okay two years ago when Paul had to handle PG duties for large portions of games.
