    All I know is that we don't know what was going on, we probably never will, and people will speculate in whatever ways serve their existing biases to arrive at conclusions they prefer.

    State of the program

    Having the money to spend is important, but being able to accurately identify and develop talent is still more important. Indiana is just one example of big name teams spending ludicrous money on players and still barely achieving mediocre results. I'd point out that Painter's success in...

    Nothing you said regarding Page has ever amounted to much more than unfounded personal attacks and I guess you can close out his NU career with some another one. Congrats, I guess, on your hating on him being "rewarded" with this news.

    Story: Tre Singleton to the portal

    Yeah, TheC, losing Tre is really bad in the sense that he could have been developed into a decent player with another year or two. Who knows, maybe he realized he doesn't have what it takes to be the main guy and is moving on to a place with a bigger paycheck where he only has to be an ok...

    Story: Tre Singleton to the portal

    I probably misunderstood your post then. You probably meant that he skipped the biggest paycheck his talent and ability would ever earn by playing the year at NU.

    Story: Tre Singleton to the portal

    Meh, if Nick has NBA talent it wouldn't have mattered if he took a big paycheck to be the third or fourth option on a better paying team. He spent his last year getting a lot of experience and a ton of media attention being successful as the primary option. If he's got what it takes, he'll get...

    That's just so much crap right there.

    Maybe they can lure Carmody out of retirement to take the program to the next level!

    Where the Roster Stands

    I can see him leaving if he got his paper, and I can see him leaving the team if Collins needs the space, it just doesn't seem like a Collins move. I gus we'll see.

    Good luck, Blake! Find your level of success and kill it there!

    Page status?

    Sure, no need to pay exorbitant rates just to get the best players and coaches for the teams, the going rate should be good enough to change nothing. We should definitely be spending the money on the revenue sports that way and reaping the benefits of the guaranteed revenue monies, so we can...

    Where the Roster Stands

    I don't know Gus's story, and I've liked what I've seen out of him in the practices and scrimmages, but if he hasn't seen the court yet then I can't imagine that will change. I suspect Collins will keep him and he won't play more than a minute or two all season.

    Page status?

    I hear you but I don't see it. If NU becomes a guaranteed win in the B1G, the power players will be perfectly happy - they all want an undefeated season, and NU being competitive is an active threat they would rather avoid. As long as NU doesn't fall too far in terms of winning the cupcakes it...

    NCAA tourney open thread

    Yeah, this is absolutely baffling and I can't imagine the coaches told the kids to do more than inbound the ball and stand still. That was the panicked action of youth right there, absolutely giving the game away after it was already won. I feel for the kid. He's gonna carry that mistake around...
