ESPN is horrible for college basketball stuff. The RPI is now defunct, but they weren't even using the right formula for providing their own calculations the last 5 years or so that it was being used. I guess they didn't want to link the official RPI at the NCAA site, but at least get the...

I'll let the discussion get back to recruiting, but by no means do I think its a light undertaking or something to be expected. But its clear its possible to crack the blue blood club as dook did it from a position more tenuous than ours. I'd say there are maybe 20 programs that have a shot at...

I think you missed the part about it being "possible" at a school with ohio states brand "over time". people would have laughed at duke being included in the blue blood talk prior to '90s or even thinking it possible.

Have ucla and indiana dropped out of blue blood status? right now I'd say it only includes uk, ku, unc and duke. obviously there is no hard set criteria for what makes one a blue blood or the tier levels, but I would say matta got us to the top of tier 2 in about 6 years. In 2011, we were...

I;ve mentioned this before, but with the osu brand, there is no reason we can't (over time) approach blue blood status. It takes one really good coach. Matta was moving us there, then developed health issues and made a couple of hires that didn't work out so well. I won't put that kind of...

Its always tough to tell from photos, but standing next to his dad I'd say definitely over 6'. I believe Holtmann is right around 6' tall, so I would say 6'1 at a minimum.

Really good pickup. should be a top 50ish player once he's back to full go and fills a big need. If he grows another couple of inches should be able to play both guard spots.

like others, I have been somewhat confused at the offers that have been extended, specifically in the '20 class. Is Holt signalling maybe a style of play change after kaleb moves on? seems we are gearing up to have a lot of wings and combo forwards, so it seems we will probably looking at a...

We made the top 5 for Ware and he visits the end of the month. probably prefers uk, but might want to go somewhere he can stand out right away. The way holtmann is recruiting pf's, I get the feeling he is fine playing a couple of pf's instead of a c. Its something I;ve been advocating sinces...

“I would list myself as a power forward,” Key explained. “In college, I’m not really a center at this height. So I’ve worked on my guard skills and footwork away from the basket. “I’m definitely not a center.” If Holtmann is pitching the center position to him, then I don't see much chance of...

Oh, we totally agree that I wouldn't add another wing in '20 unless it was a stud. I personally don't understand why we signed Sueing and are still pursuing a wing in that class. and I agree again that I wouldn't take a wing that isn't going to play right away given our scholarship situation...

what center do you think we have a decent chance of landing in the '20 class? I'd rather have bediako in '21 than any we seem to have a remotely decent chance at in '20 and our chances seem as good or better at landing him than any other big on our radar. I think there is a big range for what...

ITs tough to say he's a waste of a scholarship given you usually only play 7-9 guys and have 13 guys on roster (5-6 guys are going to be on scholarship and not play much). May not have worked out in the first year like they hoped. OF course you also could have used Reid Travis as an example of...

It will be interesting to see what he does this year at Purdue now that more PT will be available at the 4 (will probably split time at both positions). Don't know that I have anyone in particular in mind and understand there is a lot of competition to land any good big transfer. However, if...

I prefer we go for a juco or grad transfer big in the spring. We need someone who is ready to bang in the b1g.

ITs difficult to project what someone might become physically (size/athleticism), but Jones has all the tools you'd want and a good understanding of the game for a PG at his age. Gahanna has put out some good guards/wings in recent history, but from a pure basketball standpoint, this kid could...

Its wise to always be cautious about evaluating someone from highlights and I know nothing of the competition he is facing here, but I really like the touch he showed on a strong drive without forcing his way all the way to the basket. shows nice touch and understanding that getting closer to...

Wow, brain fart. i read it at least a half a dozen times and still didn't see it. Guess it was the Maryland connection. But it wasn't just dickerson that made the comparison according to landgrant. "Williams is a hard nosed ball player who can play either guard position on the court. What he...

If you are referring to the kam/dixon comparison, it was dickerson.

The last guard we had that was compared to francis was kam.
