Hoosier Headlines for July 1, 2009: closing the book on Sampson, basketball recruiting, football recruiting.
Wyoming's Black commits to IU | Cincinnati.com | Cincinnati.Com: A bit more on this recent commitment to IU. Black's brother Larry Black is currently a member of the Hoosiers. The Indy Star also has some quotes from Black. IU gets eighth commit (IndyStar.com): Marlandez Harris is a 6-4...
Senior Night.
The Hoosiers don't play again until Wednesday night at Northwestern. That lull in the schedule allowed Kelvin Sampson to travel to Norman, Okla. to walk with his son, Kellen, on Senior Night at Oklahoma.According the the various wire reports and other articles, Sampson, who won a higher percentage...
On the road again, and basketball and recruiting(!) miscellany.
This isn't exactly breaking news, but it's worth noting that for the first time during his tenure at IU, Kelvin Sampson is on the road during the summer recruiting season. Keep in mind that Oklahoma's self-imposed sanctions kept Sampson at home before his last season there, so he hasn't been to the...
Basketball problems.
Despite the beginning of what could be a special season for the IU basketball, this was not a good weekend for IU athletics, and last night's humiliation at the hands of MSU is now a distant second. Hoosier Scoop has the scoop, as always. Since it's a news release rather than work product, I'll...
Trying to make sense of things.
Frankly, I don't have the energy for this right now. Will IU basketball ever be fun again? I'm relying on a transcript that seems to be premium context on Peegs, so I'm not going to post any quotes. But let's try to figure out what we know:Ten three way calls. Sampson was dialed in on three way...
More on Sampson (pun intended).
Like most Hoosier fans, I'm still digesting yesterday's bombshell (to be honest, most Hoosier fans are either standing outside Sampson's house with torches and pitchforks or are hunkered down with him in the bunker like Eva Braun--let's say "like some significant minority of Hoosier fans, I'm still...
Wisconsin ugliness.
Here's the box score, and like the MSU game, there aren't many or even any positives to take from yesterday. After spotting UW a 17-0 lead, the defense began to play better, but I don't know if that would have been the case absent PJ Hill's injury. Austin Starr has emerged as one of the best...
Basketball Big Ten media day and other thoughts.
Not surprisingly, lots of media coverage today of the Big Ten's basketball media extravaganza in Chicago yesterday, much of which is noted in Mike Pegram's Hoosier Newsstand. As numerous sources report, the prognosticators expect Michigan State to win the Big Ten and IU to finish second. Also not...
IU releases NCAA reports (details and link).
IU has released the documents that it submitted to the NCAA. The Herald-Times has posted (free of charge) the .pdf of IU's report to the NCAA. I haven't yet seen the .pdf of the other documents, but will link it if I find it. Here are my quick thoughts as I go through the report (page numbers refer...
Senderoff fallout.
Mike DeCourcy, Andy Katz, and various other seem to be jumping on the "Senderoff as fall guy" bandwagon. Inside the Hall also suggests that the Senderoff dismissal was botched and also mentions Greenspan's characterization of Senderoff's resignation as "voluntary." There are a few points to...
