Someone who knows the recruiting and AAU calendars please chime in. If I remember, aren’t there some live recruiting periods coming up? I’d think we’d want someone in place prior to that, but also know that Covid has altered those schedules....

Robbins’ uncle was on the staff at Minnesota, which partially explains his move.

A couple of semi-related items:

- The DMR is reporting Iowa is actively involved in recruiting Robbins, which makes sense. They also said there’s...

I’ve seen the same. Smith tested really well too. 41” vertical, or whatever it was - that’s really something for a guy that size playing D-End.

I haven’t seen the draft guide mentioned above, but it’s possible it went to press...

He could be a star, but not if they keep their five star PG from Milwaukee. If he stays with his commitment, then the entire offense will run thru him, or at least a large portion of it. Their rebuild is centered around keeping this recruit, not on...

He’ll have others around him at KU who are threats to both drive and bomb away from outside. That will create some space for him. He’ll be fine, and won’t be expected/needed to put up 30 a game....

If I remember correctly, wasn’t his uncle an assistant on the staff? Guessing his uncle is gone along with Pitino. Also guessing Robbins will have a lot of interest. He played pretty well for them....

As a former city resident, the info is correct. When he/she says “touches” Lake Michigan, that’s semantics. There are plenty of high rises which “touch” Lincoln Park, or Lakeshore Drive, which in turn touch the lake....

[QUOTE=BCPanther;n707523]The money that Loyola is sitting on in boosters, alumni, endowment and real estate would make most of the Big East blush.[/

Correct on all fronts. The value of the real estate alone would probably shock many. Not...

He didn’t make a FF off one recruiting class. Krutwig and Williamson were FR on that team. The core of that team was a group of 6’4 to 6’6 athletes who could guard and score against the P5 teams they faced. They had length and athleticism you...

Rice is a good analogy. I know a lot of people here hate Drake, but if you’re one of their fans you’d feel pretty “snake bit” over their basketball fortunes. Key players on recent good teams with season ending injuries, key players transferring...

Yesufu is an exciting player. That said, he was behind Roman Penn before he got hurt. Penn is a hard nosed, intelligent, crafty player and he and Hemphill will be POY candidates next year. The threesome of Penn, Hemphill, and Tremell Murphy makes...

There are news reports that Porter Moser is on a short list of candidates at Oklahoma, along with the North Texas coach. This could bear watching.

Agreed. Yesufu could go just about anywhere and be the ultimate high energy, ignite the offense type 6th man. Drake has a lot of guys returning next year, so that had to factor in....

I’d heard that Eric Crawford is really active in recruiting, as in the face of the program to several players we’ve signed. That doesn’t mean he’s automatically the coordinator now, but it’s another name to consider....

The DMR’s recruiting mailbag is reporting we’re taking with 6’10 center Robert Jones, a transfer from U of Denver. Averaged around 9ppg last year, and from Minnesota I think. Iowa State, VA Tech, and Bradley are also in the mix.

...

I’ll take recruiting connections over UNI connections all day, every day. I’d assume Ali is building some, but no idea where. It sounds like his current salary is prohibitive anyway....

I’d think he’d have his sights set higher than a MVC assistant’s job.

Off topic, but what a job NWMSU has done building both their football and men’s hoops teams. Football has been a DII power for several years, and now add men’s...

According to the afternoon crew on KXNO, KG and Otz have been close friends for several years. I doubt he’s planning that contingency....

If AJ was Born’s age, following his dad would seem to be a viable choice. However, with one realistic year left, why go? It’s a rebuild, and they also have a five star incoming freshman guard from Wisconsin, who from what I’ve read is a “ball...

No offense to Gauger, but agreed. Carter may simply want to transfer either 1) upstream to a P6 school, or 2) someplace he’ll get more touches and more shots. Can’t blame him for either if that’s what he wants....
