    Steve Pikiell has always done best with under the radar, defensive, blue collar teams

    Lol this narrative is so funny to me. He had one TEAM that had success over the course of two seasons. There is only one core group of players that he made a tournament appearance with. The current college basketball landscape all but precludes that from being a situation we can replicate. He is...

I like Pike and I am very impressed with what he's done with this program, but people act like he's rebuilt the program from the ground up with Jimmies and Joes time...

    Guys what’s up with Dorian Jones

    The word here is that a player fitting his exact situation will be heading to RU and an announcement was supposed to be imminent for a week or so at this point. If it's not Dorian Jones, I'm really not sure who it would be.
