    Yes, but uhigh and Bates-Diop were in that same conference back when he was there. So a previous poster saying uhigh wasn't a typical small school could be countered by that. They were in a small school conference, just like Central Catholic is now. That said I understand the point, uhigh is...

    Oh my.... I am so sorry to hear your daughter goes to school there. Please accept my condolences.

    Do you have names? I've seriously been thinking of recruits that were reasonably touted out of small schools and the list I provided are the only ones I can even think of. I mean a couple more obscure names went midmajor, Carlton Fay (SIU) and Shawn Jessup (ISU), a long time ago, but as I recall...

    Small school guys underperform?? You mean like Myers Leonard, Mike Tisdale, Brian Cardinal, Ethan Happ, Keita Bates-Diop, Ryan Kalbrenner, LARRY BIRD?? Always good to ask oneself before posting, is what I'm writing actually true or just an unfactual bias? Fact of the matter is there just...

    Others have commented on this already, but seeing such a ridonkulous comment about the racial makeup of big ten contributors, I have to laugh at the inaccuracy of this post. I really only want the best players wearing Orange, and ideally guys who will be committed and want to wear the colors...

    I'm not new to the board. I've been reading for years, but only sporadically... so somehow I either missed your previous posts or you recently changed your profile pic. All that to say: I did not expect to see MR. BOH on here!! Love it!! Used to live in the Charm City. Lotsa good memories with...

    Arkansas 73, Illinois 63 Postgame

    As far as I can remember, the only time there was any accountability the entire season, as far as PT goes, was Mayer sitting for the last several minutes of the game today. Where was that discipline throughout the season? BU's a lot of bark, no bite. No accountability. No real expectations.

    You love these players individually? I like four: Goode, Rogers, Epps, and Lieb. The rest consistently never showed up to play and weren't prepared. That's largely coaching too, btw. So pathetic.

    Arkansas 73, Illinois 63 Postgame

    Well they did turn heads right? I mean so many of those turnovers, forced 3s, and bonehead shots turned my head and Chuck was obviously shocked at the pathetic nature of our care for the ball based on what he said from the studio after the game. So all in all, they shocked people with an all...

    Maybe he and curbelo can go to the same school next. Boy, imagine trying to coach those two!

    Anybody else watching this game right now, Moline/Benet? My thoughts about Harding being a wizard who is going to torch us in the future are only being justified from what I'm seeing right now. Moretti would have be too D4MN good to be better than Harding.

    Well, apparently BU would like Certa on our team but not Harding... Just based on scholarships that have been offered. YIKES!!

    He plays in 2A of course, but his conference is likely the best in the state. Their schedule was grueling. Did he play d1 guys probably a handful but not a ton they've played good teams though and he's dominated.

    Certa is definitely not getting the same love as others, but I know the Illini are HOT on him. Underwood has been to two of his games and has visited his high school an additional time during the school day on a random day back in November. Is that normal for a head coach to do? In addition...
