Look for this to be the year BU gets mentioned more in Chicago and the Chicago area in regards to recruits!
I think it took a while but the cred is improved and our staff is making inroads...



Here's a report of a high school kid caught shooting other kids with a BB gun.
This kid is barred from sports this year and 5 years of probation issued by the judge!!!
But wasn't one of the Kansas freshmen last year caught shooting people with a pellet rifle - shooting out of his dorm room window while drinking booze!! And...despite that it is basically the exact same offense and possibly worse, the kid got absolutely NOTHING in regards to punishment!
Just a TOTAL of 20 hours of community service...then off the hook.....what a joke...
I guess that just one more of the perks you get when you're a Bill Self recuit!

In more of the same...Oklahoma State gets off pretty easy on this one...had this been a mid-major, no telling how hard the NCAA would have hammered them.
Remember, they are saying this kid should get NO penalty since it was an INADVERTENT $5000 gift...yet didn't Patrick O'Bryant have to serve the maximum the NCAA could dole out for the same thing, inadvertent benefits, but only a 1/4 of that amount??
POB's inadvertent benefits weren't anywhere close to the $5000 worth this kid got.

And as also as noted elsewhere, Maryland's head coach Gary Williams got a raise and extension to 2012 even though Maryland's had nothing but 7-9 and 8-8 finishes lately, and none of Williams' players ever graduate!
Their board even mentions the academic end and appears to ignore the Maryland basketball program's ZERO percent graduation rate this entire decade!!

Jim Molinari at WIU lands a kid that's just a little "under the radar".

Just more evidence that everything in American will belong to someone overseas soon...

The Ryan Hare arrest story has hit the national news wires...

Another blow or two for Indiana...
the rumor is that IU's recruitment of 5-Star Kyrie Irving fell apart during the in-home visit Irving received from Coach Crean. Reportedly an argument broke out about the lack of any talent getting recruited to "surround" Irving at IU, and within minutes, KI tweeted that he had dropped IU.

Also, one of the top targets IU stll had high hopes on was Winston Morgam, whose dad played at IU under Bob Knight...surely Morgan would be loyal and choose IU, right??
Nope...he verballed to "lowly" DePaul this morning!
So -- thus far, only a couple 3-Star recruits for Crean...
