That's a good thing. Last time they went quiet, we got Mayer. Before that, ClarkThe insiders have been very quiet lately.

Nance isn't coming here since we took Mayer time to quit beating this poor horse and move on.. Not happening period end of story.. Nance only wants to be a 4 and not a 5 so he will end up at UNC most likely.
I want to see Lieb get the extra minutes at the 5. Is he able? I think it is possible if not bring in Butz..
That class was Miller, Curbelo, Hawkins, and Lieb with Grandison & Hutcherson transferring in - not exactly triage mode. I made the comparison with the other guys just because long term they didn’t hurt us. I really don’t remember the particulars of Lieb committing but was he a guy that just filled the fourth spot and we were thinking long term he’d transfer or was he a guy we really thought would develop into a B1G quality player?Man, there's no way you can compare Underwood's recruitment strategy when we were triage mode versus where we are now.

You really think Lieb is going to be productive as the backup 5?Nance isn't coming here since we took Mayer time to quit beating this poor horse and move on.. Not happening period end of story.. Nance only wants to be a 4 and not a 5 so he will end up at UNC most likely.

Why not if he was hearing the same thing from different or (perhaps) the same source? Maybe that source shared the info with both of them at the same timeThe account is 24/7, not affiliated with 247. It's a play on its name to get a bigger following and to look more legit. According to ActionJackson it is legit. The timing of that tweet specifically wasn't the best.
Doubt there are that many roids in the state of Illinois.This boilermaker muscleman killed us. Limited basketball skills but strong. Need to get Lieb to follow his diet/gym routine.

Giorgi wasn’t so bad as a flyer. It’s the end of the bench, hard to get a lot of impact guys who want to hang around for less than 5 mpg.It's always seemed like BU has been willing to take flyers on guys to fill scholarships. I can't think of a single one that's really worked out long term and most of them (Kane, Greg E., Vesel...) have transferred out after a year or two so there's been no long term impact. It seems like Lieb is a guy that's probably not going to contribute but is going to use a scholarship for four years. We're seeing a little bit of that crunch now where we probably would have liked to take two more impact guys and leave a scholarship open, but can't. Any chance BU rethinks his recruiting strategy when it comes to filling the end of the roster with four year long shot developmental guys?

No 'roids. He worked very hard in the weight room to get strong, and even more so on the court to become among the top players in the conference. As much misery as he caused the Illini, I admired Jim Rowinski immensely. He was a walk-on who became First team All-BT and the conference MVP through sheer hard work. Dude is a legend.Doubt there are that many roids in the state of Illinois.
I’ve also been pumping the Mav Morgan junior year surprise contributor storyline for Lieb.I have this very uninformed suspicion that we will be pleasantly surprised with Lieb's contribution this year, however limited it may be.
If we have Nete Pance, we really need a Butz to fill in.Nance isn't coming here since we took Mayer time to quit beating this poor horse and move on.. Not happening period end of story.. Nance only wants to be a 4 and not a 5 so he will end up at UNC most likely.

He was a beast... but not limited in his skills. Was All-BT and Player of the Year. Killed us repeatedly in the paint. Went from walk-on to the NBA.This boilermaker muscleman killed us. Limited basketball skills but strong. Need to get Lieb to follow his diet/gym routine.

BTW, that's what Coleman Hawkins physically needs to look like. At 250 min, not 215-220.

Wow. Good for him.
I've no doubt that Rowinski worked on his physique maniacally. But he had the frame and musculature. Guys like Tisdale, Lieb and Hawkins (to varying degrees) don't. Doesn't matter what type of peach tree dish you have, you can't turn a Durant type into a Rowinski type.
I don’t know how much Duke will help him in terms of preparing him for the league. I don’t see him become a different player simply because he goes to Duke. We shall see.Wow. Good for him.
I'm guessing that deep down even he knows that. Probably not a bad place to finish out a college career in hopes of winning a Championship.I don’t know how much Duke will help him in terms of preparing him for the league.

Petri dish, I think you were meaning there. No big deal.I've no doubt that Rowinski worked on his physique maniacally. But he had the frame and musculature.

I know the one in the NBA has kind of been a bust, but he's still in the league...probably just finished his 4th or 5th year, I'd guess. Not bad.Does this Knox brother actually know how to play basketball?
