Toothless Eric Gordon

I do not respect man who goes back on his word, especially when it is a decommitment from Illinois to go to Indiana.  I am over the fact that we lost a recruit who could be one of the best players in the nation.  However, hearing a little bad news about the IU basketball program still makes me feel a little better.  Scampson and his staff continue to be up to no good violating NCAA regulations, which is a story in itself, but now the karma has turned a little bit on Gordon himself.  In a game against Northern Alabama Gordon has his front tooth knocked out.  Despite the injury he still managed to score 32 points. February 7th EG will probably make his on college visit to Champaign as a collegiate player, and the Krush will have plenty to rant about upon his arrival.

Michael Jordan - Slam Dunk '88

It is rumored that His Airness, Michael Jordan, is looking for to buy a house in Champaign.  Since the Hawthorne Suites and other hotels in Champaign are not up this MJ's standards he needs his own bachelor pad in the cornfields.  It is possible that his son Jeffery Jordan, who currently lives in my old freshman dorm, will use the house during his college career.  It is important for the team to look into the rent payments that other players will have to pay.  Last year Dyane Jarrett was sited for violating NCAA rules because Matt Leinhart's father was paying most of their rent.  The rumor has grown even larger because the house that may soon be MJ's was formerly owned by former Illini coach Bill Self.

Speaking of selfish people in the college basketball that I dislike, there is always Kelvin Scampson roaming around stealing recruits and violating NCAA rules.  Recently, the Hoosiers coach was sited for violating his old NCAA santions by making 3-way calls, which he was prohibited from doing.  His staff continues to be up to no good by making more illegal calls, of which 35 have already been labeled as possible NCAA violations.  I believe Bruce Weber is a much more honest man, which is not the most ideal attribute in college recruiting.  Also, I hope Eric Gordon gets snubbed by not being able to play in the post season in his only college year, and his draft status gets lowered.

Here is an article written on Monday, October 22nd about the outcome of IU's infractions.
