Especially when there isn't any reward at all for being certain and eventually proven right.

Last week, there was a posting that they had reached out to Eaglestaff (committed to South Carolina), Gavin Walsh of Binghamton (forward who led conference in rebounding), and Bryce Lindsay of James Madison (good shooter). Both Walsh and Lindsay are sophs

From what I read, $300,000 cash prize to the winning team, $100,000 to the runner up, and $50,000 to the other semifinalists. Supposedly that is to go to players so there definitely is some incentive to win or get close in this tournament.

Another CSU player has hit the portal: Jalen Crocker-Johnson. He's a soph big man who had a pretty decent year. We'll see if he ends up here.

It's also only a week long. One other factor: weird, altered lineups due to portal and other defections. I watched parts of two games. In the Georgetown v. Wash State game, Washington State had a distinct size advantage but was without two starting guards who hit the portal. Georgetown was...

Agreed, which makes it unlikely that he would come here but I hope he is at least asked.

If that is true, good for Niko. It's also worth remembering that, as impressive as a 51-point game and an 18.9 ppg average are, North Dakota was 43-55 in Eaglestaff's three years.

Our transfers out have compiled a pretty good record of being picked up quickly.

I won't miss seeing him on the sidelines in Big Ten games. He and Cronin were the two sourest coaches in the conference.

I don't know what he said because I have him on ignore but I'll give him credit for at least being an equal opportunity troll. I would have thought that he'd curb his efforts after Johnson was fired.

Also, if he wanted to play in a power conference but not so far from home, that would have given us an edge. Obviously, that wasn't a significant factor.

I would agree. I would attribute that to the following: 1) the preponderance of elite basketball preps that play tournaments and schedules with national participation; 2) traveling AAU teams; 3) athletes playing basketball year around; These types of things give elite basketball players...

From the way people around here talk about him, I guess so. I didn't live in Minnesota (hadn't even visited here) when he played so I have no personal knowledge of him.

Yes, the meaning of words is always very important. By "developmental" I mean a player who is not expected to contribute much in the present or near future but could gradually become a productive player to one degree or another. Payne and Hawkins don't qualify under those terms because they...

True but some of them were developmental throw-ins like Betts and Kleinys. Betts was recruited with the intention of redshirting him. I thought that was a bad move then and time has made it look even worse!

He was not a "great" player at Penn. He was a great player at the Philadelphia area La Salle High School. First Team All-City in 1977 on an all-star team that included Gene Banks (Duke, NBA), Clarence Tillman (Kentucky and Rutgers), Louis Lloyd (Drake, NBA), Jeff Clark (St. Joseph's, NBA...

I hadn't thought of that!

That's very abstract reasoning. Medved has a fresh clock and a free pass in year 1 but he has a fair number of players to recruit. He should treat this as an audition year. If the players don't play, they'll likely transfer anyway. How is he going to know how well they'll fit if he doesn't...

Good! Hopefully we get to play them twice.

Apparently, his parents challenged themselves to see how many vowels they could place in his name.
