FYI, Terrell is Jalen's second cousin and is the owner of the AAU team he plays for. The more you know........
Damn, hes old as fvck, but I'm glad hes going back to school.

I don't get the sense that he's a massive homer, but he is definitely partial to OSU, which is not surprising considering his past. Just the way he covers things, it's obvious.
Can you show one example where he’s been partial? Between Rivals,Scout and now 247 I can’t think of one time where he’s written one line that would lead anyone to believe he likes Osu basketball.
Also your senses regarding Carton and his visit to OSU seem correct
And while I do think it is good for a kid to do the right thing, it is kind of shitty Holtmann and probably some of his staff will not be out recruiting since a kid is on a visit they probably have zero chance of getting.

I don't track everything he says. Next time something comes up I'll post it
Especially since Ohio State is by far the most in need of a PG of the three contenders and they basically stopped recruiting a few other PG’s they might have had a chance with.
This isn’t a very deep class for PGs either. Archie would like to sign one as well. If Carton goes elsewhere this probably turns into another CG class with IU. Phinisee will just be a sophomore so IU isn’t “empty” at the position but stacking good point guards with elite ones is what I want to see
He is in with the Millers for sure but there isn’t a ton of bias. He talks shit to IU fans all the time and shoots it straight with recruiting
Sounds like Arizona is going to be the school to beat with Zeke Nnaji. Doesn't look that great for Minnesota or Wisconsin. Kid has really blown up over the past year. Tough to turn down the big $$$$ from Zona.
As usual, UW is first one to identify or offer these kids, then they blow up, and we're all like....
Ohio State hasn’t signed a HS PG since 2015 and he only stayed a year. This season there is only one PG on the roster who’s eligible and he’s a Senior. Have a transfer who is sitting out this year..... and that’s it

Gard fired in less than five years?
No. I'm not worried. This has been happening for years. You lose way more than you win in recruiting.
If he can have a bounce back year, this year I think he will be fine. Another piss poor year with the remaining Bo players he could be in trouble. I mean Rutgers had a better recruiting class last year.
If I worried about our recruiting class rankings, I'd want to off myself.
We were in on Wahl early and got him committed for '19. #95 in 247 composite. Right in our wheelhouse. I doubt he blows up as much as Carton or Nnaji but he should be a solid 4 year player. I know the staff feels good about their standing with Nnaji, but fans are skeptical. He's basically our only target right now. We certainly have a different approach to recruiting. It is frustrating to fans. I don't really give too many shits anymore. We'll get who we get.
The bold is great way to look at it. Easier said than done for sure.
Is Gard using the exact same style and "system" as Bo? Obviously he learned a ton for him, wasn't sure if he was changing thing to fit him better.
Its tough having a B1G job be your first ever head coaching job.
Maryland is going to get the god damn death penalty after this.
Purdue fans know that pain all too well*.As usual, UW is first one to identify or offer these kids, then they blow up, and we're all like....
*See: Brooks, Keion & Jackson-Davis, Trayce
Crean always got beat up after being the first to offer as well. Him and Painter always offered way too early. If anything that puts more eyes on the kid and lets coaches slip in later on. Archie has been a nice breath of fresh air with his approach to offering players. I think Painter could wait it out as well. If you are honest with the player, stay in contact, and have a good read on the situation when you offer shouldn't matter.
This situation is a bit different since Nnaji is blowing up the summer before their senior year. Brooks and TJD both have been known commodities for alongwhile
While you're at it, fix Hail's too!
Just read a brand new write up on him and there is no mention of Zona and that he is still WIDE open.
He has said that since May. That isn’t new he also leaves it open. I did ask him with Michigan being a leader now what can sway the needle to the others. Interested in his answer.
Snow is not a fan of um at all, mostly has to do with Beileins closed door media policy, especially in regards to recruiting.
UM fans have a very weird relationship with Belein. They hate him one day and love him the next.
So I’ll ask you to post something that can substantiate this belief other than your own personal belief.
Wanted him fired in 2015 in 2018 he is
I do think he is a great developer and coach
He was with Bo for 20+ years. I think he’s more open to change though. Only time will tell. He actually went back to basic swing the first half year after we were 9-9 and Bo had just left. Happ brought the ball up a bunch last year. He’ll work with what he has. That’s on the basketball side. On recruiting we seem to be very selective and stingy with offers, not too unlike with Bo. But Gard was lead recruiter for years under him. Like you said he’s a rookie head man at a top 25 program last couple decades. Not the easiest following Bo either.
