Boilermakings Has Our First 2031 Men's Basketball Commit

Before we get to the blogpoll and links, there is some basketball recruiting news. It looks like the first 2031 commitment will be for Men's Basketball, as Mrs. T-Mill and I found out this morning we're having a little boy. Since he's likely not going to be a 6'9" beast in the post I am already telling him to dribble with the left hand away from the umbilical cord so he can be a point guard.
