Watford just officially announced for

apparently the ncaa has no teeth any longer. started when north carolina backed them down. there was some talk about schools abandoning the ncaa and/or starting a new governing body. don't know how all that would work out but perhaps the ncaa realized they might let the cash cow out of the barn if they starting laying the hammer down on the cheaters. seems they turned a blind eye to certain big time coaches cheating even before unc (coach k). a few decades ago, all of these programs caught up in the fbi investigation would have been handed the death penalty. today, most fans think there will be zero penalties. does the ncaa infraction committee have any real authority any longer or is it only if the schools agree to let them?

Good question.
I guess we'll know the answer within a couple of years.
Very insightful post, I haven't thought about it as much as I should, but it's frustrating.
I really don't know what to think at this point.
 
Thank you, I have a hard time seeing why we have all the negativity on here. Have the 2 best players from Indiana coming in (Mr. Basketball voters). Isn't that what we wanted? Less Langford and more spread out talent me just be the fix.
I agree, although I understand the exasperation.
In addition to your points, I saw improvement in 2 areas that I was really looking for, defense, and ball control.
And I wanted to see a better schedule as well, and that happened.
There certainly were issues with our offense, and we're taking body blows from a recruiting standpoint.
But I actually am looking forward to seeing how the guys respond.

I think more than anything this kid just doesn't want to be in the shadow of his brother.... He wants to make his own way.

This was not a surprise nor a "whiff". He didn't come to IU because of his brother's legacy plain and simple. Haters want to weaponize his decision, but that is simply wishful thinking.

Yep our class is excellent. Going t9 be a fun year I think.
 
Well hard to compete with cash. I'm guessing if we went dirty we would get some of these guys. When you keep coming in 2nd to dirty programs its pretty obvious .
Do you really think “clean” programs even swim in dirty waters (as you put it, not me)?

All coaches know the players who want money. Do you really think a “clean” coach would even try to recruit against dirty programs? That’s pretty naive.

So you saying Archie is not clean?

I’m not saying he’s clean or not clean. I don’t know.

But I do know clean coaches don’t play in the mud. And we sure seem to be recruiting against a lot of teams/coaches who you believe to be dirty. That’s not just bad luck.

So, is John Calipari clean or not clean?
 
I don’t know. History would suggest clean but I’ll never claim to know that about any coach for sure.
But hasn’t UK been recruiting against the likes of LSU, Memphis, Auburn - among others? You said yourself “clean coaches don’t play in the mud”. So, is Calipari clean, or not - or were you just talking out your ass again?

I never said those programs were dirty. The other poster did. Maybe you need to read slower.

I would say catch up but you’re so far behind it might just be better to sit down and rest for awhile.

I can read just fine.

Did you not say this:

Calipari recruited against all those “dirty” programs, did he not? And you want us to be more like UK. So, is UK as dirty as the programs they are recruiting against, or were you just arguing for the sake of argument?

You're right!

Did you miss this part of my post?

“Do you really think “clean” programs even swim in dirty waters (as you put it, not me)?”

The other poster was saying they’re dirty. They may be or they may not be. But if you’re hoping we’re clean you better be praying those other programs are as well.

So, in other words, you were just wanting to argue. Got it.

Like I said, I don’t know who’s clean and who’s not.

But you’re being irrational if you think a clean coach is going to honestly recruit against a bunch of dirty ones. That’s just not how it works. Kids either wants money or they don’t. And everyone knows who they are.
 
why would watford chose to play for wade after what he was caught saying by the fbi? for the love of louisiana? haahhaha

maybe he like crawfish boils. The closest Btown has is Dats, and that is just cat vomit on rice.
 
Slander! On an anonymous message board? Surely that would never happen!

:cool:

Check out the shit you and others post about me on GBI.

Fortunately, CS2 isn't my real name.

Seriously, I have an issue with anyone posting something like that about an 18 year old kid they have never met just because they chose another school. I have posted things about players or family but they are all taken straight from newspaper or police reports.
