Tim Miles Presser: 10-5-2015

Miles willing to drink the schnaps: Talked about looking overseas and at JUCO for a center

They're going to "look at some guys who've been contacting them consistently"

Do we have any freshmen enrolled here that were all-state?

Someone asked him about recruiting and the "good start" we have on this year's class, added to the big class we had last year.

Miles said there's a "good chance" we'll have 6 top-100 players on our roster AND some of the kids we've brought in, he feels were under-rated.

We know the 6 top-100 names.

My vote for most under-rated:  McVeigh.

Second-most under-rated:  Jacobsson.

(Of course, then he points out that everyone in the B1G is having good recruiting success this year, not just us.  So ...)

"You know I don't like tall guys.  I must be allergic or somethin'"

Great dig at Jeff Goodman, too!

"Cupcake city, baby!"

I presume it's more Trevor Menke than Kye Kurkowski in the height dep't... 

Miles [on player growth]: "Two of them now shave once every two weeks."

Looks like the leg hair theory still holds true.

That's more than he shaved this summer....glad that is over!

Miles did have a fairly straggly facial adornment for a while. Wonder what the Mrs. thought of that bearded debacle...

I believe I took a photo a month ago or so at that same exact location.  Cool.

That said, this very well may be a very fun year.  I like this team, and it sure sounds like Coach Miles likes them as well.

I think being less demanding of the ball than Petteway goes without saying. For almost everybody this side of World B Free and Pistol Pete.

Ah, Maine. Blueberry muffins, lobsters wrapped in newspapers, and Red Sox every day on the old black and white tv. Those were the days.

FWIW, I'm four states short of that goal myself.  Alaska, Hawaii, Washington and Louisiana.

Help me out here cwg (or jimmykc)...even though I've lived up there and toured around Maine extensively I can't quite make the location in the photo.  Is it on MDI?

Also, FWIW, for anyone who HASN'T ever been to Maine you are missing out on one of the most beautiful states in the country and should do everything in your power to try to visit sometime.

That's Gene Hackman.  Your new avatar, I recognize him.  Am I the first?

You mean the avatar that says 'HOOSIERS' in big, bold letters, Normy?

Ah, the year of the Gene!

Well, it can't be any worse than the year of Walt, now can it?
