The recent news is that one of the guys in the Louisville/Adidas scandal wrote a book and in it he says Pitino knew about / authorized payments to players. It is just re-hashing old stuff that most people already knew about / assumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, a 1st-teamer returns. What else? 2 backups with experience, and then transfers + frosh that seem no better than a middling haul. Not great coaching. I'd be shocked if they finish above 100 in KenPom or above .500 in A-10. SLU_Lax likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 My review exactly COL. Plus I don’t think Burton is a one-man-do-it-all gang. Gutavson and Grace are weak and only are slightly at grade due to. fifth COVID year. Crewsorlose likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of makes the player a pimp but it should qualify as a NIL deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 http://www.collegesportsmadness.com/mens-basketball/top-144-previews Billiken opponent Drake coming in at 66, 1st in Valley. They have a lot of returning talent. It should be a good game. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Right below Drake, at number 67 is Maryland, who we play in the early season event. MD is losing its top 2 scorers, one of whom we were familiar with, Fats Russell. MD is picked 9th in the Big Ten. It seems to me that Miami will be the favorite to win that event. As I look at the remaining teams I am hoping we come in as part of the 30-40 group. It is nice to be rated ahead of teams like Cincy, Louisville and Syracuse.

The free transfers are really ruining the concept of the conference nemesis. The days of guys like Holloway at Xavier, Nicholson at SBU, Crutcher at Dayton for what seemed like forever appear to be no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 With 3 returning players, MIZ comes in at #62, 9th in the SEC. I know gates has a couple of good recruits, but he better get them playing together quickly, although if I recall they have a OOC schedule filled with Little Sisters of the Poor quality teams. Butler 63, K-St 61. Maybe the two recruits out of STL a couple of years ago should have picked SLU, if they wanted to go to a better program, with a better chance of going to the NCAAs Davis likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted Monday at 09:54 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:54 PM I’m convinced Davidson is rated too low. Last year picked 5th or 6th in conference and won regular season title. Yeah, dad’s gone and son takes over but guess who’ll be sending notes to the bench? Davidson is never bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and we don't play well at their house,albeit a small sample size, 0-3. The team I'll be watching, particularly when they get to conference play, is UMass. They likely will take time to gel, but they could start 6'10" Leveque, 6'9" Gapare, 6'7" Cross across the front and 6'2" Diggins and 5'11" Fernandes in the back. Then bring 6'8" Woodley and 6'8" Thompson off the bench. Martin set up a relatively easy OOC schedule for the Minutemen. They will be better than the 9th in A10 where Top 144 slotted them. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
