Coach Nowlin

YIKES

That he does for sure, however, he does and has recruited 5 star and top end talent nation wide. I mean he had Kannon Cathings at Brownsburg, signed, but before report time, Catchins wanted certain assurances about his role, Painter told him again, your opportunity for a role will be what you do here in practice and all that, didn't like that answer, Painter gladly let him out of the LOI and he went to the bag man in BYU where they have a pipeline to the OVERTIME ELITE program that Cathings left for his SR yr of HS. Snagged Trey Kauffman Renn right out of IU back yard, 4 start nation wide recruit. IU signed CJ Gunn, Purdue signed Braden Smith, same class. so yeah I get that . Intereresting he has a test he gives recruits on the process while being recruiting, sort of a personality traits type of thing. He will stop recruiting kids if they fall under a threshold. But to your point, who ranks the rankers? I mean Xavier Booker was supposedly the 2nd ranked kid in the nation at Cathedral, in year 2 at Michigan St, still can't get much going. Purdue pulled out mid way JR year. He was on record years ago stating he will always find 1 shooter every class. DJ Byrd Ryne Cline Carson Edwards ( literally no one cared about him, drafted, but didn't stick, lighting up a very good Euro league) Dakota Mathias Sasha Stephanvic Fletcher Loyer Cj Cox (another Painter Gem, was in Texas recruiting a huge event and watching someone else, but he just kept making plays and shots and his teammates loved him, talked to AAU coach and asked who his major offers were, coach said none, he said, welp,that changes now, I am offering him today ).

Love the new lineup for the b10 season with Cox coming in to start and putting Colvin and Heide back to the bench Braden Smith, another Matt Painter Gem, will be pretty close to consenses AA if this continues as a JR. Toledo, Montanta , App St and Purdue https://www.on3.com/db/braden-smith-11729/recruiting/118410/interests/ 2 months later, different lineup and yes, they are still filling it up

Missed the game, one of my buddies in group text made a reference about YIKES IU, then saw the 1st H score, What happened with Ballo and Rice?? @EasyEJay What a train wreck AGAIN I have long stated that B10 is great with a functional IU team, however, not sure that is needed now anymore with the expansion. Also is IU still the better destination then Purdue? If so why?

that is why I really really really admire MATT PAINTER, obviously, my Purdue alma mater and background, sure, HOWEVER, I have studied him many times over and I know my IU hoops folks like @Irishman will quietly admit how much they admire how Coach Painter runs the show. He doesn't promise anyone anything, only the opportunity to come in and compete. Purdue is one of only 2 teams in the nation who did not take on a transfer this past year. His quotes from his time on committees dealing with the transfer rules are really good. In summary, "what are we teaching young people". "when it gets hard just leave?" "Adversity hits and you quit?" stuff like that.

Added QB Coach w/ Possibility of OC for Calumet New Tech

Green Bay holding the Draft in April. Fingers crossed its not 30 and snow storm

Caught this clip from PMS yesterday, OUTSTANDING segment. There is a pattern emerging now, can the NFL brass be able to combat it?? Pat and DButt and Hawk, 3 former NFL players, all making great points, these are 20-22 year olds who have never been told NO by others because they have had former coaches in college who were afraid to combat discipline issues because of either A. How much they were being paid and B. afraid they would just LEAVE and go somewhere else and probably get paid more to do so. Loved the clip of Vrabel on it as well. A good 17 min segment imo. it is of my opinion that some organizations are going to be better equipt to deal with this head on vs others. Example, PIttsburgh benched Rookie starter OL for playoff game because he refused to play with a cast on, so they just said fine, your down......Don't think Steelers of previous years would of made that decision. You think Joey Porter would refuse a cast and not play?

McCarthy I get, would welcome him I caution all the noise out there with media folks who are trying to get clicks and views and all that. Like its breaking news that the bears are going to dinner with a HC candidate.......WOWSERS. smh. if that is "RED CARPET" then double wowsers..... I thought this was a good listen: below: fast forward to the end if you want to hear CW thoughts on what he wants in a HC.

There is running clocks even in middle school, I had 2 in a row in 7 and 8th grade girls hoops last night I officiated 35 points in the 2nd hal fi sthe the deal

Added DC positions for Columbia City and Bloomington North on IFCA

Added DC positions for Columbia City and Bloomington North on IFCA

Terry Peebles has stepped down at Harrison Great guy, still will be part of IFCA and region 4 I am sure, as he is VP at the IFCA state board.

I am all in on Coach Prime in Dallas. match made for each other Moore currently is the OC for Philadelphia, great move leaving Dallas and landing in Philly and getting an offense with a good offensive line, Playmakers already at WR and QB then you get gifted one of the best RBs in the last decade in NFL because NYG put a ludricuous amount of money into waived Daniel Jones. If you didn't catch the hard knocks OFF SEASON, GIANTS, it was a dandy...... Chairman John Mara, well, "I really want #26 to be a Giant for life". GM: We paid Danniel $40 million..... Chairman, scoffs and just walks out of the GM's office. Oh baby, good stuff

Please Chiefs make Trey Smith a Free Agent Thank You

the Genie is out of the bottle no going back

I know a very high end college football offical who is contracted through the Big 10, he was pretty excited pre bowl/playoff season, he had zero down marks, checked in with him, he was sent to Holiday Bowl He has done national title before

I don't think it is wise to throw away a QB after 2 seasons both marred with injuries in the NFL Takes time in a very unpatient fanbase league (all fan bases, not specific to Colts)

Aaron Glenn turned down the request by the Pats, smart move by him, he knew what was going down, the fluff rooney rule interviews of Leftwich and Pep Hamilton of all people. Bears had to put Vrabel on the books, makes good nfl sense, but it was a long shot

Alex jones is your spirit animal I see 🙂
