If the professional ranks have taught us anything, it is that players NEVER get cheaper. So how long before a 5 star kid is asking for $5 million? How quickly does the demands of the best players become too much for all but the richest programs?

Scanlon was right up there with my Numerical Analysis prof
I was fortunate to get into one of his courses with 1,500 or 2,000 of my closest friends, and, yes, he was very entertaining!
Me too - can still see Eddie's sweet baseline jumper, followed by absolute pandemonium..
The Saturday lost to Ohio State was such an incredible letdown. I remember that Ohio State team. Lots of future pros (Herb Williams, Kellogg, Ransey, G. Waiters, and, deep on the OSU bench, a future NFL QB named Art Schlichter).
People crack me up. You wouldn’t be cool with the school paying Dee Brown $2,000,000 to secure him if it was 2001? I sure would.
Not that anyone cares, but I grew up down the street from where Derek lived when he went to grade school and high school. I did not know him because he was a few years older than me. When I was in grade school I remember riding in a car past his house and someone telling me, “That’s where Derek Holcomb lived”. I asked, “Who’s that?” 40 years later his name is brought up over and over on an internet message board. So for me Derek Holcomb is some kind of cosmic idol. LOL
Same. If Davis couldn’t get credits transferred, I assume same with Golden as he is a Junior and not graduated apparently.
Logging into Loyalty and posters are talking the 78-79 team from my freshman year.
Next year's starting power forward. He liked the NIL benefits and is using his covid year. /s

The more I see the more I believe this is not a guy that you put in the corner as a floor spacer and cutter. Skilled and high IQ guy with decent size and athleticism already who could definitely benefit from a top tier workout program.
The game was during Christmas break, so I wasn't in Champaign. My Dad and I were planning to drive over for the game, but a blizzard kept us from making the trip from Olney, IL. I always regretted missing that game. Eddie was one of our all-time great players.Me too - can still see Eddie's sweet baseline jumper, followed by absolute pandemonium..

he looks like a flippin' cheat code
I always thought that Ace Moore (who taught History of Sport) was the most popular professor. That was easily my favorite class of all time.
We’re going to need a bigger bag

For real. And obviously the original efficiency numbers in the first prospect video are accurate and he is killer as a PnR scorer.
Man, without any info from the insiders we really do implode on ourselves like a black hole, don’t we?!?

Can we please get some recruiting news? Even if it’s not real?
The last 5 pages are about encounters with a 66 year old former player, old professors, and wishing a guy who just transferred good luck at IU.

Calm and quiet before the storm.
