Congrats Coach K and the Blue Devils!!! Great game after a less than stellar start!!

[Titan Q]

Ron Rose has landed a big PG/SG recruit - 6-1 Mark Falotico from St. Viator will be a Titan.  Some old stuff on him...

Falotico missed most of his junior season with a broken foot, and lot of time this year as well with problems with the same injury.  It sounds like he is expected to be healthy next year though.

Should be a really good CCIW PG/SG.

Lovely, I had Wisconsin and Duke making the final game and it has come to pass.  Wowza!

Go Cheeseheads, finish it off.

Looks like a very good Titan recruit, Q.  Now we need some big guys too!

Anything going on as far as Elmhurst recruiting and or signings?

There's no such thing as "signings" in D3.

[joehakes]

Greg, you forget that there are no celebratory, non-binding signings.  The forms are now active.  Let the non-binding celebrations begin!

Watching the Cubs home opener right now...anyone else dislike the box that appears after the pitch has been thrown, but before the catcher receives it?  I can follow the pitch to the catcher's glove, and then determine by my eye or tech used in previous years whether the pitch landed inside the strike zone.

Yes, On Wisconsin.

Are Illinoisians really backing the badgers?  Was it really just Kentucky and Minnesota hoping for a badger exit on Saturday night?

You think they'd rather back Duke and rat face K?  No chance

Any pride for developing Okafor?  I've been watching Tyus play for 6 years now and feel a little invested even though he spurned the gophers. 

[iwu70]

AO, of course I'm supporting the Cheeseheads and the Big Ten.  Not much to cheer about with U of I basketball or football of late.  Dukies will be a tough challenge, no doubt.

Time to move on to Springtime, outdoor sports, esp. CCIW baseball and softball.  Can't quite get excited about Lacrosse as yet, but IWU sure has an outstanding women's track and field team this Spring. 

Back to Bloomington soon -- so heading for the golf course, and lots of time back on my bike.

Congrats to the Dukies, great game.  Great season, great run by the Badgers. 

Keep the recruiting news coming.   We should have more of a good picture of the newbies within 6-8 weeks, as enrollments are settled and families put down deposits.
