    The Ivan Renko story.

    Really, they could take out the phrase "so called recruiting experts" and substitute "Clark Francis of HoopScoop", that way nobody would have to guess at who Knight was messing with.

    Wisconsin Recruit decommits because of message boards?

    The comments did come directly after the rumor came out again mostly because Vander posted a status update on his facebook page about it. But the anger and attacks weren't so much about the decommit, more of them talked about the academic issues raised the articles some going so far as to trash...

    Wisconsin Recruit decommits because of message boards?

    #1 - His grades actually aren't as a big of a question as they were made out to be. It was shoddy reporting by a Madison paper with supposed inside information that turned out not to be true. The reporter had 2nd or 3rd hand information and didn't do any fact checking with anyone else that was...

    Vander Blue decommits

    For 2010 there is one available as of right now, perhaps more if one of the 2009 kids doesn't qualify. Regardless of where he ends up, Blue's still got a lot of work to do in the classroom. Apparently, the reason he may change his mind on UW is that he met with the coaches and they told him...

    Vander Blue decommits

    His final two were Wisconsin and Marquette, he chose UW and then spent his entire press conference talking about how great Marquette was. Louisville was third. Rumblings about him decommitting started pretty much when the college season started, because he kept showing up to a lot of...

    Antwon Oliver-Scouting report, other interesting info

    Correct. The Playground Elite team split from the Playground Warriors team early in 2008. Oddly, even though Elite is the new program it probably has more of a connection to the glory days of the old Playground Warriors, since the program was started by guys that worked for the Warriors back...

    Antwon Oliver-Scouting report, other interesting info

    The Playground Elite coach is Kalombo Kadima, older brother of former ISU commit Chim Kadima. That might have something to do with it.

    Update

    He doesn't have good lateral quickness or particularly good body control. He has a real problem staying in front of his man because he just can't move his feet fast enough to keep up...and it wasn't an injury thing, he had this issue before he got hurt. Unless he's improved greatly over the...

    Update

    Christopherson was Marquette's 6th guard even before the injury was discovered. He would have been the 6th guard this year as well, and had Crean's recruits actually come he would have probably been the 8th guard. While he's a really nice kid, Scott's just not athletically gifted enough to...

    Watched Chris Colvin play

    Having seen Colvin play in HS and AAU, he may not really be ready to play the PG right away, as he's always been more of a combo guard and played off the ball in HS. This is really the first year in HS he's been playing the point, and even now he spends some time on the wing while Ahmad...

    Marquette board on ISU

    And MU got Jerrone Maymon, Dwight Buycks and Jimmy Butler over ISU....most people that following recruiting would give the advantage to MU. Especially those who saw Christopherson play in high school and at MU.

    Chris Colvin has made his decision...will announce November 19th.

    FWIW, Chris Colvin spoke with Scout.com yesterday and gave a different final list than what his father Ike told the Sun-Times the day before. He gave a final 6 of "Iowa State, Providence, USC, Illinois, Marquette or UConn" and stated he will choose from one of those schools. Having said...

    Colvin and Smith?

    Neither really. After originally saying that he was going to commit in the early period, Colvin now appears to be hedging and may not announce until the Spring period. More schools, like UConn, are getting involved and he appears willing to extend the process and wait for bigger names to...
