  1. 1028 Transfers listed on Verbal Commits this morning. The A10 transfers on their list: 0 - Dusquene, Richmond, VCU 1 - Dayton, GW, Loyola 2 - Fordham 3 - St. Joe 4- SLU 5 - LaSalle, UMass and St. Bonnie 6 - Davidson and Rhode Island
  2. He is on the "contact list" for P5 schools which means $$$ that he wouldn't get here. 43% three point shooters are high priced. The Indy Star reports he has been contacted by IU. And it goes without saying, the chances of Dancing are higher at P5 schools than at Mid's. The next time I talk to Parker will be the first time. I have no idea what his focus might be.....money, big fish in a smaller pond, education, setting career marks on the SLU Career list, smaller roll but with a higher chance at a Dance appearance?
  3. Ware going pro. I already saw that. But a huge thanks for nothing.
  4. I am. And a Butler fan. And an IU fan. (Not so much a Purdue fan.) And a SLU fan. I like basketball.
  5. Back home again in Indiana And it seems that I can see The gleaming candlelight Still burning bright Through the sycamores for me The new-mown hay sends all its fragrance Through the fields I used to roam When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash How I long for my Indiana home
  6. Our Town's Connor Turnbull transferring from Butler. He was hurt most of this year. He could qualify for a red shirt season, giving him three years eligibility. He showed offensive promise, but had difficulty defending in the Big East. In a very limited sample size, he hit 45% from the arc (14 of 31). https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/butler/2024/03/26/butler-bulldogs-basketball-sophomore-connor-turnbull-enters-transfer-portal-roster/73111671007/
  7. The Road to Hinkle goes through Terre Haute. Support the Trees.
  8. The tournament operator is guaranteeing that sponsors and other tournament partners will offer each school a total of $1 million in NIL money for participating. That money will be funneled to collectives, boosters, or other NIL entities, and the coaches and teams will be able to distribute that money however they see fit, as long as the money goes to current players. The winning team will be eligible to earn another $1 million, to be distributed in the same way. Taken from the linked article.
  9. Interesting. Missed this when it was first announced. Sources tell FOS the tournament organizers are in talks with: • Alabama • Duke • FAU • Houston • Kansas • Oregon • San Diego State • St. Joe's • Syracuse • Virginia. This is definitely a recruiting tool for the chosen teams. Would the potential of a payout entice Eric Reynolds to stay at St. Joe's, if they are selected?

  11. Fun article https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/2024/03/21/pat-mcafee-offers-indiana-state-basketball-robbie-avlia-nil-opportunity/73056248007/
  12. The FAU campus is 2 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The SLU campus is 2 miles from the Mississippi River.
  13. Runner up to Mastodons was the IPFW Old Guys.
  14. If you recall your history, (they still teach history, don't they?) Mastodons roamed the southern region of the Great Lakes thousands of years ago. I'm guessing @Old guy was around back then. Anyway, IPFW [Indiana-Purdue Ft. Wayne - that's what it originally] was built in the late 1960's. About that time a mastodon bone was found in nearby Angola IN. The full skeleton was later found. When IPFW got around to sports nicknames, the student body voted and hence became the Mastodons.
  15. During his time with the Sycamores, Larry Bird played a college baseball game.(1979) Bird was often in the training room icing his legs and getting massages when Indiana State baseball coach Bob Warn took a shot at Bird. -You're a real wuss,'" Warn recalls telling Bird. "'Every night, I see you. You're just here in the training room icing,'" The marketing ploy worked. Warn estimated that some 3,000 people flocked to watch Bird, the basketball star, play baseball.He had two injury scares. One was when he collided with the catcher and, for a couple of seconds, did not move at all. The other was in an infield pop-up between first base and home plate. Bird once again collided with the catcher and did not move. "All the time I'd been playing basketball, I've never been knocked out," Bird once said. "One baseball game and I get it. I was really hurt. So, end of career — one for two, .500 average, two RBI. I figured I couldn't do much better than that."
  16. From the SBU Forum, which is as creditable as our forum. So take as you wish. Just so everyone is clear, this has been brewing a while and is not primarily related to the NIT stuff. This week’s fiasco just served as the last straw and accelerated things.
  17. Ok. Thanks. I'd be looking at the list of coaches whose team has been eliminated from the NCAA tourney these past three days. No coach will dump his team in the midst of a tourney run. Or did the email say "as early as....."
  18. The NIT Quarterfinals are Tuesday and Wednesday. The next potential game for ISU would be Tuesday. Cincy has already moved into the slot as the opponent. I assume this email didn't come from anyone official. Or is the Search Committee communicating with the band and not the media or boosters? Could be.
  19. https://www.sbunfurled.com/post/navigating-the-offseason-s-turbulent-opening-week This article reads to me that they wouldn't have had enough players, and there was some apathy on the tourney for those still left to play. They notified the NCAA/NIT before any offer was made that they didn't want to be offered. The Bonnie AD didn't expect the NCAA to leak this, but come on......what isn't leaked these days. The departing AD does admit the communications on this issue weren't done properly.
  20. Louisville was paying Payne $3.4M and bought him out for $8M. They have the money to go big time.
