This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Four guys on roster now from Indiana. And it would be 5 if by Raoul
you counted Kebba Njie who played HS basketball at La Lumiere.
I like the fact that Shrewsbury is from Indiana. Wants to be in Indiana (his home state). Recruits kids from Indiana. The state is big enough talent wise for us to get our share. Add in nearby IL, Ohio and then the MA-NJ-Philly-MD-DC corridor that Brey did so well with (and Shrewsbury appreciated from his time at PSU) and you have a real focus in recruiting. Shrewsbury's staff also fist well with that focus.
We'll see what happens but I don't think I could have expected anything better than what he has done building the roster. As noted below, it will be very interesting to see what the team looks like on Feb 1st.
