Purple Haize wrote:IU is #1 preseason I think it's too high but after years of building its nice to be recognizedI think they deserve it based on who's returning, but they are going to have to start playing defense if they expect to be #1 by the end of the season. They did just receive bad news yesterday that two of their more highly touted freshmen - Peter Jurkin (you can't make that up...) and Hanner Perea - are each suspended nine games for taking illegal benefits from an AAU coach/IU "booster".
Purple Haize wrote:Yeah not happy about the benefits scandal. At least they took care of it. That stuff won't fly with theIU faithful. It's what separates us from the barbarians. AKA UK fans haYou mean barbarian like Bob Knight assaulting players and students? Or do you mean like hiring a man previously convicted of cheating in Kelvin Sampson who was then convicted of doing even more of the exact same cheating while at IU?
lynchburgwildcats wrote:Big news for Maryland: Dez Wells won his appeal, is eligible to play this year. Jeff Goodman tweeted that Maryland just released the news. Good for him, he deserved to be eligible after Xavier prematurely and undeservedly expelled him.Man that is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!! Terps a top 25 team with him playing.
Shabazz Muhammad ruled ineligible for amateurism rules violation, UCLA plans to appealSo do the two schools in question get punished in any matter and what two schools are they? Schools are supposed to audit how a player finances his unofficial visits and report if anything is potentially illegal...
UCLA student-athlete Shabazz Muhammad is not eligible to compete in tonight’s game due to violations of NCAA amateurism rules. In addition to other pending issues, Muhammad accepted travel and lodging during three unofficial visits to two NCAA member schools.

adam42381 wrote:Didn't he choose UCLA over Kentucky and Duke?Apparently the two schools in question are UNC and Duke. So basically nothing will ever happen to te two schools who didn't properly audit the unofficial visits.
"In addition to other pending issues," the NCAA noted, "Muhammad accepted travel and lodging during three unofficial visits to two NCAA member schools."
Those trips were to Duke and North Carolina.

We're still maintaining that he's mediocre, right?
lynchburgwildcats wrote:Remember when everyone said Curry was going to be mediocre and practically a nobody at Duke riding the bench behind some stud Coach K brings in? I'll even use the vaunted L-O-L word to describe that: I am laughing out loud. I typed "LOL" but that is for teenage girls who text. So please know that I am laughing. Out loud.Shulmen mentioned this last night - so don't know how accurate it is but if Seth continues his current scoring pace, he and Stephan will be the highest scoring brother combination in NCAA history.
