Then you really aren't going to like the unveiling of the Bobby Knight statue at OSU.

Columbus area had some funny ones, actually. 

Denison had this placard of Woody Hayes. Sure, he coached there, but that isn't what he was known for. 




Ohio Wesleyan has this placard commemorating the location of the first OSU Football game. Sure it was also the location of the first Ohio Wesleyan Football game, but that isn't what it was known for.

I'm glad this one is no longer standing in Madison.

The University of Michigan has reached out to Rhode Island transfer Fatts Russell, according to ESPN college basketball insider Jeff Borzello, who reported on Thursday through sources the talented guard has heard from several major programs about his services for the upcoming 2021-22 season.

"He's heard from Oregon, Gonzaga, Michigan, Maryland, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Penn State and Arizona State since entering the portal last night," Borzello tweeted. "First-team All-Atlantic 10 last season, third-team this season."

Russell led Rhode Island in scoring this season, averaging 14.7 points per game as a slashing guard. He started 22 of 23 games as a veteran backcourt player and also pitched in 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

UNL needs to stop it with the transfers and just build a program already.

[FearlessF]

UNL needs all the talent they can get, by whatever means possible.

if you haven't noticed, recruiting to Lincoln, NE isn't as easy as some other places.  Especially for hoops.

[847badgerfan]

It's not easy to recruit anywhere if you're not Dook, UNC, KY, Kansas.

[FearlessF]

Gonzaga, Michigan, Maryland, Arkansas, and Oklahoma all recruit pretty well compared to UNL

if they are interested in the kid, I'm not going to be upset that Hoiberg has his nose in there.

[847badgerfan]

I'm a firm believer in chemistry. Some coaches allow current players to interact with recruits to get a feel for fit.
