Calipari reminds me of a gangster. Not the shoot'em up type that you see in the movies. More like a behind-the-scenes shylock. He's running a racket in Memphis with the basketball program as his front.

Back to the real world. McGee looks like he could have some upside. The bad thing is that nobody really knows anything about the players we have coming back. What is Eli going to do? Is he any good? Sure, he averaged monster stats in his last year of high school, but he only played three games. Can Brandon McGee compete at this level? Or will he try to dunk on someone and get hung like he did against Michigan.

You have to admit it was funny when he declared the Carolina game was over with 7:30 to go in the first half. And, he was basically right.

but still, yeah, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Hey guys…quick question…is McGee a forgone conclusion? Have I missed an article or announcement? I'm being serious. Nobody is mentioning him as a possible starter. I feel like this kid may have a major upside. Wait, I just saw Kelin mentioned him.

Kudos to CoveyDale…Ebanks is gone. There's this one guy that many say is somewhat crooked playing for the national title right now…he's most likely gonna get Ebanks…You might as well forget that kid.

You guys do realize that this kid didn't even play much his last year and a half because he pushed a referee and got suspended right? That could affect his numbers. The biggest thing with this kid is before he got suspended, he was averaging a double double with blocks. He's a long body. Not real tall, but he has a huge wingspan. He'll be a very nice addition. I'm excited to see him play. But then again, I was excited to see George Leach play too…

I find it interesting that EJ played with a broken bone in his wrist but didn't Eli have a wrist problem also??? Was KS really trying to save his job at the expense of playing a kid with a broken bone

I think Tom Crean has a few tricks up his sleeve. If you think Kyle Taber will be a starter I think you are wrong. It looks like he has his eye on a skilled 6 9 JUCO. That would be a nice addition to t team. He has also contacted Scott Van Tresse also 6 9 and a 6-6 fellow from Texas. I know Scott wouldn't come until 09 but with eltson at what 6 8 that would be a nice line up at the 3 and 4. I think terrel will end up comming to IU. Ebanks is up in the air. I'm not sure we even really have to have him, but I suppose it would be nice. I really like Crean's take on IU and I think the team will compete next year. Eli shold of played this year. Putting DJ at the 4 would of been the best thing we could have done. I like Bassett and Ellis, but IU has had several players that were cancer to the team. I remember when Recker and Reed quit……and I thought it would severely affect the teams ability to win, but it just turned out we played better with out them.
