I must've been living under a rock.  I googled Bizjack Horseman and of course, BoJack Horseman came up.  I recognized the animation, but can honestly say I never saw the show.  I see it's on Netlix.  Bingeworthy?

We liked it a lot. In addition to being surprisingly edgy, it was incredibly clever. So much going on in the background of scenes that sometimes we'd be like, "Wait, was that a cat with a chicken head walking around in the background," and we'd have to rewind it to see it again. Also, they get lots of great guest voice actors.

As for bingeworthy ... If I watch more than a couple/few episodes of just about anything, I start to get sick of it, even if it's a good show. So I wouldn't binge BoJack. But if you like to watch 5-10 episodes of something in a row ... sure. Episodes are nice and short, too.

Georgetown could be down two starters vs. DePaul Friday. Sorber gets one field goal attempt after halftime vs the Redmen and Hoyas give up 19 turnovers once again.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on January 14, 2025, 10:23:06 AMfor sure. Butler's "highest rated class ever" would be considered a disappointment at most BE schools. I think Bizjack will enter the Portal again and take an offer from somewhere else, realizing he's not worth what he thought he was worth during the last cycle, which led him back to Butler.

Big commitment for Butler yesterday with a four star kid. They're now up to the 14th rated class and have a kid redshirting this year who reclassified. If they can keep this class (that's a big if these days though) they should be able to reverse their fortunes and climb out of the bottom of the conference.

They have a Scoop inspired scholarship table.

Perhaps a stupid question, but can someone who understands recruiting rankings better than I explain how Recruiting Class B is ranked so much higher than Recruiting Class A?

Recruiting Class A
Player 1 - 4*; 91; Nat'l Rank 83
Player 2 - 4*; 91; Nat'l Rank 89
Player 3 - 4*; 90; Nat'l Rank 103
Player 4 - 4*; 90; Nat'l Rank 152

Recruiting Class B
Player 1 - 4*; 90; Nat'l Rank 91
Player 2 - 4*; 90; Nat'l Rank 139
Player 3 - 3*; 89; Nat'l Rank 160
Player 4 - 4*; 90; Nat'l rank 125


I'm aware that there are a variety of ranking services and that some are more credible than others, but all of the information above and the overall class rankings are from the same site.

I think it's just a little unclear on their site. Their overall class rankings are from the Composite but the individual rankings they show are from 247. The composite rankings are significantly lower than the 247 rankings for our guys. If they showed the 247 class rankings, we would be higher than Butler.

Thank you.

I wondered the same too. I think your analysis is right on.

I don't know if it exists anymore but the most ridiculous ranking was Hoop Scoop. They would rank kids with a 1-10 than classes based on total points. So a class of two kids rated a 10 would be behind a class of 3 guys rated 5s and 3 guys rated a 2.

Seton Hall-Butler is surprisingly entertaining.
