Supposedly he gained a decent amount of weight and is out of shape. If you watch his highlights, he is noticeably heavier his senior year compared to his junior year.

This is the same jersey style all of Nike’s top programs have been wearing the past two years. Duke, Oregon, Arizona, Kentucky, Ohio State are a few of the many examples as well.

It's 24 in a two year period. From April 2017 (when Alstork visited) to now we've had somewhere around 14 officials, so we can only have about 10 more to use until April 2019. It is rolling from staff to staff, but I don't think it was an issue because we didn't give out that many officials in...

On my phone so can’t link it but Xavier hired Travis Steele as it’s next head coach filling the last power conference opening.

I listened to the podcast of Derek on the Jeremy Werner show and he said that Tevian hasn't given him a date that he's going to announce. He said that with the dead period starting today and Tevian wanting to take another visit the April 11 date seemed about right but made it sound like it...

It certainly seems like we’ve cooled on him and I doubt the staff is actively recruiting him. He’s taking an official to Kansas State next week and they are considered the favorite.

I know it was awhile ago, but many people at Xavier were unhappy with how he handled leaving for Ohio St. I think enough people with say (boosters) would be against him that it'd be unlikely. I think it'd be more interesting if they made a run at Sean Miller, but I doubt their AD / president...

Pitt hired Jeff Capel from Duke. What's the over under on years until Pitt is under NCAA investigation?

Not saying he's going to be better than Lucas, but if the staff doesn't view him as an upgrade over Lucas, I feel like they would've made a harder push to keep him.

Feliz is the #1 JUCO PG in the country (I'm well aware JUCO talent is nowhere near the level it was before prep schools). He seems to be an offensive upgrade over Lucas (shoots 42% from 3), but I'd imagine would be a downgrade defensively. Staff must think he's an upgrade overall or else they...

Great to hear! I strongly disliked pretty much everything about the uniforms since the day they were announced during the rebrand.

By adding two, do you mean keeping the existing five (white, orange & blue with zigzags, Fighting Illini and grey alternates) and adding two more alternates or replacing existing ones with new ones?

Weber returns his entire team. This seems like a ploy to get a raise from KState.

Mark Alstork was in the same boat, but took summer school classes to graduate, which was why he couldn't join the team until the fall. If Cunningham wanted to transfer, he could theoretically do the same thing. If there was a 0% chance he could transfer, Piper wouldn't be mentioning his name as...
