Saturday I attended the Butler vs Seton Hall game and Holloway following Izzo's steps talked to the officials every timeout but one I recall. He is very antimated on the sideline, getting down in a stance and moving as though he was playing.
After the game Kim and I went to eat with some older Butler alums(10 and 2 cheerleaders) at Binkleys (owners son best friend with sister son...a little high, but good). Talk started with them asking me about what I saw in Butler...then Greg Oden, Thad, Flory and some young recruits coming next year etc..
I said I had an early game tomorrow to go to and talk centered on Purdue with Flory etc. Then I started talking about some future recruits and such and people wondered how Matt would keep all these players happy and wondered if some would transfer out. Then a guy (one I hadn't seen before in the group) with a person between us said Matt already had 2025 Trent Sisley locked up. I said he hasn't verballed or anything and he nodded and clinched his lips as to say...it's done...just not out there. I have NO idea how credible this person is relative to Trent, but whatever makes him believe this...he believes. A tidbit of no interest to anyone but me was an attorney seeing the group came up knowing the members and asked the ordering of my sisters and I and then proceeded to tell me his father ran track against my father...which was interesting in that he would know that or that his father shared that with him. Anyway, take this for what it is worth...maybe legit...maybe not, but the guy that said it I didn't take to be a Purdue fan.
