Interview with NIU Star Eugene German

Interview with NIU Star Eugene German

Posted by | Jul 7, 2020 | , | 0 |

Reading Time: 3 minutesI had the opportunity to interview Northern Illinois Guard Eugene German. He came out of Gary, Indiana with only one D1 offer, which was NIU. He has endured hardships unimaginable to many, such as losing his father right before his first game of his senior year and growing up in a city with one of the highest crime rates in the United States. This only made him work harder so that he can help provide for his family with an NBA contract. German averaged 20+ Points per game for 3 straight seasons, which is almost unheard...

Breaking Down Brad Underwood and Illinois Basketball’s Recent Success

Posted by | Jul 7, 2020 | , , | 0 |

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Illinois Men’s Basketball program has a very consistent and strong history, although they have had quite the rough stretch recently. With 30 NCAA Tournament appearances and 17 Conference Championships, Illini basketball has experienced something unusual with 7 missed NCAA Tournaments in a row. John Groce was hired to replace Bruce Webber who led the Illini to a national championship game and to put it nicely, the Groce experiment was a failure. Then, with new AD Josh Whitman at the helm, Brad Underwood was hired to “bring back” Illini basketball to its former glory. The first...

The Truth Behind The American Athletic Conference: How it Will Fall Apart in the Coming Years

The Truth Behind The American Athletic Conference: How it Will Fall Apart in the Coming Years

Posted by | Jul 7, 2020 | , , | 0 |

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn 2013, the American Athletic Conference (AAC) was formed with a combination of schools from the Big East and Conference-USA. Over the years, the AAC has experienced many successes on the basketball court and football field. The conference has sent multiple teams to the NCAA tournament each year, have teams in New-Year’s Six bowls, and even had a national title team in 2014. However, due to UCONN leaving the conference and the financial burden of the Covid-19 pandemic, I think the conference will disband in the coming years. Despite the fact that UCONN had little success...

Emoni Bates to Michigan State: A Breakdown

Emoni Bates to Michigan State: A Breakdown

Posted by | Jun 29, 2020 | , , , | 0 |

Reading Time: 2 minutes“I’m not sure what the future may hold, but as of now, I’m committing to Michigan State” Emoni announced his commitment to MSU on ESPN at 1:40 ET on Monday with his family. Many thought that this outcome was very unexpected because of his interest of going straight into the NBA, and rather signing with an agent. He has been considered one of the best recruits since LeBron James, while his play style is very similar to NBA superstar, Kevin Durant. The 6’9″ 205 lb. small forward averaged 33.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists just...

In Depth on Evansville’s Rebuild

Posted by | Jun 28, 2020 | | 0 |

Reading Time: 2 minutesSo with the Evansville Aces not having a win in the conference last year, I thought I would share how they can rebuild their team. The Aces looked promising coming into this past season with Head Coach Walter McCarty doing a very good job recruiting. They had key players get their eligibility such as Deandre Williams, Sam Cunliffe, and Artur Labinowicz. The win over #1 ranked Kentucky made them famous nationwide for college basketball fans. They had a very tough non-conference schedule and came out of it a very good 9-4. On December 27th, 2019, McCarty...
