Just to keep the ball rolling along…
-Congrats to JD Campbell as he moves on to a new position heading the communications department for the men’s basketball program at Indiana. They kind of like their basketball a little bit in Bloomington, I hear.
-Good luck also to the women’s softball team as they head into the MAC tournament at Midland, Michigan. They’ve blown away the school record for longballs in a season, here’s hoping they have a few left for the tournament.
-The Louis Orr era has it’s first recruit, still-growing at 6-foot-9 Cameron Madlock out of Whitefish Bay, WI. He didn’t play as a junior, but averaged 14 points and 8 boards on a 21-4 team his senior year. It seems like he might be a little raw, but looks to have what people who drool over high school kids for a living love to talk about, “upside”. Whether he pans out or not (and I believe he will and then some from the snippets I’ve read), its great to see that Orr’s image of the team involves 6-9 forwards that can rebound and run the floor. Should be exciting.
Speaking of Coach Orr and the Falcons, be on the lookout for the first issue of Ray Mernagh’s HoopWise newsletter. Stay tuned to HoopWise.com for information coming soon.
But will Danny Schmitz paint his chest?

With a lull in the excitement over Louis Orr’s hiring, and all the good, diggable football news having dropped back to a trickle until the Spring Game, the BG softball team rolls along with a chance to shock the softball world Wednesday afternoon. The Falcons will visit “the unanimous top collegiate program”, the Tennessee Lady Vols for a doubleheader starting at 4 p.m.
I know nothing more about the women’s softball team than what I read in the game notes, so don’t expect a lengthy breakdown, but with the major sports seasons having pretty well wrapped up at BG, why not keep ourselves occupied through the spring? From what I hear BG is dangerous with the long ball, and have won four straight.
Gametracker for the games will be available through Tennessee’s website.
UPDATE: Forget everything I said. Game off.
