Local walk-on added to roster for next season...

Colorado school of Mines has both a tremendous mining and metallurgy program. But Purdue has a tremendous engineering program in almost every engineering program. And sometimes we take for granted how great of an engineering school Purdue actually is. Sometimes we take for granted how great academically our entire conference is. I really didn't want to add Nebraska.. the move was made for purely monetary reasons.

I read somewhere that in response to what the bug red "N" stood for in the end zone, one Nebraska grad said "knowledge". LOL.

Most players on the elite AAU teams get scholarships. Even the 6th and 7th and 8th men. If your team always loses, you won't be flying to Vegas or Orlando ... you may stand out at Spiece in Ft. Wayne and that may be enough for a MVC team.

OK, story time. My son was good, but not great. One of the last two guys cut from the Indiana All-stars his year. He had offers from Wright State, Toledo, Wisconsin Milwaukee. He wasn't even on an AAU team the summer before his Sr. year (long story). So I put together 7 guys from all over the place and went to a tourney in KY. It was a big tourney. We had only practiced like three times. Somehow he was invited to play in the all-star game. I have no idea why. He did play well in the pool games. So, he goes and sits in the all-star game. There were two rows of tables surrounding the court and every coach I had ever heard of was sitting there. I don't know why this was such a big event, but it was. Travis Ford put it on and it was a long time ago.

Anyway, they put my son in. He was playing D against some 5-star guard that everyone ooohed and ahhed about ... and he stole the ball from him ... pure luck ... and he went down and dunked the ball. He was a point guard. A hundred coaches flipped their programs through twenty pages to find out who he was. No one knew him. After the game, he got four offers while we walked through the parking lot. No one great, but Middle TN state, Murray St, Northern Illinois, Kentucky Wesleyan. Without getting that chance, without making that steal, and probably without the dunk, he would never have gotten those offers.

I know this doesn't apply to the players that PU is recruiting, but it was fascinating to me. - Right place, right time, and grabbed the ring.

Look at all the minor changes that could make that a totally different story, or just no story at all. Lots of good things were done by you, your son, the other 6 kids, their parents, just to be on the merry-go-round.

I checked out your site. you want people to pay you money and you call it dues to contribute our information to your site. your site is a pyramid scam. the more school contributors you have, the more money you make. I don't pay people to provide my basketball incite and knowledge. You pay me! I don't pay to play fantasy basketball or NCAA bracket madness either.

And frankly, if you had read any of my other posts, you would have realized I was being very sarcastic. I had hoped by replying to your post, somebody else would have read my post and took you up on your offer. But, I guess nobody else did either. perhaps you can contact Boilermaker 1973. he now has some time on his hands after he quit posting here.

Rather than singling me out, you should be concerned why nobody else here wanted to be part of your site as well. Singling out people and bashing them is not a good way to recruit people.

You're a total idiot with an endless ego! I don't get one red cent from my site and there are no profits. You obviously are way too hung up with your own importance. All that boasting about your Air Force involvement, LOL. Anyone believing all your B.S. needs to be committed. Really loved the part about your son quitting basketball to join track. hahaha No sense continuing, you're obviously on here to blow your own horn nonstop. One more thing.....go take a long walk off a short pier.

Incidentally, 16 posters on this site emailed me about joining. 2 are now members. Mission accomplished!

You may not agree with this poster's perspective on your web site, but there is no need to make this posting. You might consider that you are alienating a much broader base than you realize when you post a shit-storm like this. Why make fun of his kid? Why make fun of this poster's time in the Air Force? You are registering a less than 40 on the social IQ scale here.

16 posters emailed you about joining your web site @ $20 each! Not a bad haul! For join a free sight and inviting people to join your site from one free post!

Your reading comprehension is low! I never said my son quit basketball to play track! I said he wasn't good enough to get a division 1 scholarship to play basketball, but he was good enough to get a div 1 scholarship in track!

How many of my posts have you actually bothered to read? If you had read more than one you'd know my last name and where my son attends school! His bio is on their school track site! His times at State are a matter of record as are his finishes and times in college! His indoor schedule was just announced! They are going to vandy, Illinois, their own meet, IU, maybe Purdue and a couple others!

You came to this free board basically with the intent of soliciting people to join your pay site! When I called you on it, you started both dissing me and harassing me! My initial response to your first post was cordial and expressed hope you'd find somebody! Then out of the blue you dissed me in a totally seperate thread for not following up and joining your site! And now you are once again harassing me in a totally non related thread for not joining your site! It would appear you are the one who seeks attention !

You got two people to join your pay site! You should be happy! If you harass me or my family once more, I'll report you! Or I'll inform my son who has 20,000+ friends at his school with a lot of time on their hands to make your life miserable! College students are funny! If you give them a cause and a target, you'd be surprised what they can and will do!

I see jerseygem has not returned to respond to either me or Wolly. I did check out his web site, and seemed to be closed for rebuilding. I suspect we are looking at some sort of fraudulent nonsense here, especially based on his obnoxious response above. I would recommend staying away from it.
