The initial cost might be bad for some schools, but I don't really see that as an issue. I've coached at a lot of places that have clock operators that either forget to start the clock or stop the clock quite a bit. I can see a lot of issues with people forgetting to reset the shot clock. I think it would be interesting for someone to watch games next year and keep track of how long it takes teams to actually shoot. I'm guessing that shot clock violations would be very few in high school sports.

I agree with you. There would be so many schools that would have someone running the shot clock that would forget to reset it or do it at the wrong time. It would be an absolute disaster at a lot of schools.

There is a lot of discussion going around about this. Do you think that there needs to be a shot clock in high school basketball? I coach and I will say that there are very few times when a shot clock would have even come in to play. The only time that it would matter would be at the end of a close game when a team wants to stall. What are your thoughts?

Our boys have quit on Miles from what I've seen and we have a few injuries. I really don't see much to give me any kind of confidence in a guaranteed win if Michigan State rested everyone. I've been wrong many times in my life though, so it's possible that I'm wrong about this.

Michigan State could probably rest all of their starters and still beat us at this point. I'm still going to watch the game tomorrow night, but I'm not expecting much at this point.

I have no idea if she's gone gone. I just know that she just started up that other show and she might be gone gone. I don't know that they ever really said where she went on the show though.

Finally got to watch it last night. I thought it was a very good episode. I think things are going to get crazy with the Whisperers. I just wish Rick and Maggie were still on the show. I think it would make it more interesting.

Bumping this and just asking for a few seconds of your time. www.greatbikegiveaway.com Please click on Carter Weems and vote. He's in first place in his bike category right now.

Thanks, we appreciate all the help we can get!

I shared this in a status update, but I thought I would start a thread. If you would like to, please go to www.greatbikegiveaway.com and vote for my son to receive a free adaptive bike. His name is Carter Weems and he has Angelman's Syndrome. This bike would help us to include him in family outings better. You will need either a Facebook or a Twitter account to be able to vote I think. If you happen to be looking for a charity to donate to this tax refund season, this would be a great place to start. There are so many kids on this site that are deserving of a bike and these bikes can be quite expensive to purchase. If you would like to, please share this with as many people as you can and get people voting for Carter. Thanks!

It's finally back this weekend. I know that some people have stopped watching the show, but I just can't give up on it now. I think the second half of the season is going to be a good one.

This might be more relevant, they also averaged each conferences recruiting ranking and winning % ranking out and concluded this: Recruiting Ranking Winning % Ranking SEC Avg. 19.14 (1st) Avg. 28.69 (1st) Pac 12 Avg. 34 (2nd) Avg. 35.54 (4th) Big 12 Avg. 37.25 (3rd) Avg. 31.1 (2nd) Big 10 Avg. 38.29 (4th) Avg. 34.54 (3rd) ACC Avg. 39.29 (5th) Avg. 36.32 (5th) This makes it look like the Pac 12 is the conference that is really not getting the maximum out of their recruits.

I told them that I thought it would be better if they could just use the non-conference games to see winning percentage vs recruiting rankings. However, you would also get in to how strong teams non-conference schedules are compared to other conferences.

They also concluded this about the conferences: The Big 12 ranked #1 because they averaged being up 6.8 spots The Big 10 ranked #2 by averaging being up 4.65 spots The ACC ranked #3 by averaging being up 2.82 spots The Pac-12 ranked #4 by averaging being down 2.5 spots The SEC ranked #5 by averaging being down 10.71 spots The Big 12 seems to get the most out of their recruits as a conference and the SEC seems to get the least out of their recruits by far as a conference. I don't know if it has to do with coaching, or if the recruit ranking system is flawed a little. Maybe a little bit of both.

There are definitely some teams that achieve at a much higher percentage than they should compared to their recruiting rank such as Wisconsin. I found it interesting that the SEC is all down, with the exception of Alabama.

I am a high school math teacher and I had two of my stats kids do a project that focused on compiling data and using averages to make comparisons. They chose to use college football recruiting over the last 10 years, not counting this year since it's not done yet. They used 247 Sports and Rivals to average out the recruiting classes rank and then they figured out the winning percentage of all the teams over the last 10 years. They wanted to see if there was a correlation between the two. They ranked the 64 teams from the power 5 conferences and Notre Dame from 1-65 in recruiting and 1-65 in winning percentage. It was interesting to see which teams seem to be performing a lot higher than their recruiting rank and a lot lower. For the difference category, they put whether the team performed better or worse compared to their recruiting ranking. For example: Illinois ranked 55th in recruiting over the last ten years combined, but their winning percentage ranks 62nd so they are down 7 spots from where they should have been. Please let me know what you think of their findings and I will pass your comments on to them. Thanks Team Recruiting Avg.

Here's the way I look at the remaining 15 games, and this is obviously just my opinion. The next 5 games are @Indiana, vs Michigan State, @Rutgers, vs Ohio State and vs Wisconsin. I feel like we need to win 3 out of 5 here. There is no way we are winning against Michigan State in my opinion so we need to win 3 out of the other 4. The next 5 games after that are @Illinois, vs Maryland, @Purdue, vs Minnesota and vs Northwestern. I feel like we need to win 4 our of this 5 since we have 3 home games and we go to Illinois. The last 5 games are @Penn State, vs Purdue, @Michigan, @Michigan State and vs Iowa. I think we need to win 3 out of 5 here with obvious losses @Michigan and @Michigan State. That would leave our record at 22-9 going in to the conference tournament. If we could win a couple of games in the tournament I think we have a good chance of making it in. The way we look lately though, I'm not sure if everything is possible that I laid out.

Did she win?

Voted, good luck to you!

We have 22 commits right now. How many of them are planning on signing next week? Does anyone have any idea, or are we going to have to wait and see? I know that not all of them are planning on enrolling right away, but I hope they all sign at least.
