For most men, it can't just about what is of interest to them. It's simpler to be concerned only with one's own interests but it's also lonelier.

I've seen you bring up McLaughlin (note the spelling) a number of times. If you're not doing so, you should look up the years of D1 these portal entries have played to see if they have any eligibility remaining. McLaughlin has played four years of D1 already. There's no way anyone in those...

Yes, but sooner or later they will be right. We're not Ohio State who can be confident of beating every conference team except one or two every year.

Yes, and it's not just sports entertainment options. The Twin Cities likely has more non-sporting entertainment options than a multiple Big Ten hometowns. All sports and no culture makes John a dull boy, especially where most women are concerned.

I doubt it but one can always hope I guess.

I've had my eye on this kid since before the end of the regular season. He is a very promising prospect and this is a good acquisition for Indiana. I was wondering why it took so long for him to land somewhere. Now I think it's because he probably had a high price tag and Indiana was willing...

I don't know if the coaching staff showed any interest in him (or whether he had any interest in returning) but I would have been fine with him returning. I think he's a bit better than the average forward available at this point.

One of the recruiting sites says that Noah Amenhauser committed to Oregon State.

He's one I've been looking at for some time too. I'm a bit surprised that they're recruiting him after the Turner commit but more the merrier I guess.

April 22nd or 30 days after the player played his last game, whichever comes later. Johnson doesn't fall into the second category so I'm not sure what he's doing. He's also out of eligibility like many of these later entries.

Good analysis! Still, most of those players were upperclassmen. This guy was just a freshman and improved a lot in that one year. From what I can see, he had very little in the way of D1 offers coming from high school but he was one of Central Arkansas' best players, albeit on a poor team, by...

I think IU got more good players transferring in than what they lost transferring out although they lost two very good ones in Mgbako and Reneau to the portal and lost Ballo to eligibility.

Assuming the exact same set of grading standards can be applied across all groups is folly. The students at Minnesota Math and Science Academy will not be graded the same way as a students in a class for those with learning disabilities and Minnesota basketball fans will not grade their coaches...

All good points! A much more comprehensive set of criteria than I would have contemplated. Well done!

Almost sounds like a topic for a Gopher Hole poll!
