I think Lewis will be great at PG for us, but he needs some time to develop. I think Lewis will be better at creating for others, while Barber will be much better at creating for himself. Both of those are things we'll need, but with our other talent I think Lewis will get the start. Barber will back him up at point and they'll likely play together plenty with Barber at the 2 That's also partly because I think he can play both, while Lewis is obviously staying at PG.

As long as Anya has even a fraction of basketball skill, he is a lock to make the NBA due to his length.

If he is actually good he could be gone in a year. From what I've heard/seen, I think he'll be on the 3 year plan, which is perfect.

I was thinking 2 yrs

11/18/2012 1:53:09 AM

that depends. my understanding of his shooting up the rankings is that it happened once everyone realized he had insane arms and weighed 250+. then he fell back down once they watched him play and realized he wasnt very good at much besides dunking and stuffing midgets

that suggests to me a 7 footer at uconn/gtown career: worthless in year 1, good but flawed in year 2, dominant/lottery pick in year 3

#5 for red is already the type of defender we're looking for. if we can get anything out of her on the offensive end, its just a bonus.

11/28/2012 5:07:14 PM

The Sonic the Hedgehog dribbling on the wall in the background is almost as comical as the fall.

Was that girl trying to set her up to get closer to the rim (like acting as a foot stool) or did she slide down thinking she was getting out of her way to make it easier for her to shoot? Either way there is unending fail in that gif.

Quote :

"Alex the Great Chicago Curie's five-star junior power forward Cliff Alexander might have found his team overmatched in a blowout loss to Oak Hill Academy, but Alexander was not going to allow the blame for the loss to fall on him. Alexander was physically dominant around the rim in scoring 26 points and grabbing 13 boards, while shooting a scorching 12 of 14 from the field. By establishing low-post position with his wide base, and exploding strong to the rim, Alexander was able to finish at will in the lane, usually with power dunks. After the game Alexander said that Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina State, Arizona and Louisville were the schools that he has heard from the most recently. "

Top 2015 Recruit will reclassify to 2014 and just chose Kentucky over NC State, Duke, UNC.....

12/4/2012 10:37:53 AM

That was a done deal the second Calipari took the Dominican Republic coaching job. Calculating bastard.

12/4/2012 10:58:07 AM

Hoping Randle is watching Texas look like pure-t shit this year. Hope we can step it up and get back into the top 15 and look a little more desireable as the year goes on.

12/5/2012 7:59:19 AM

My second stepdad is the maintenance man at Randle's high school in Texas. Apparently he's already put on at least 25 lbs of fat since his foot injury. Apparently he's in the marching band and he likes playing the drums at home more than rehab. Hopefully he snaps out of his funk. Good news is maybe other coaches will back off. I'll try and get more scoop from Millard the next time we email.

I would commit to FSU if I were him. If 20 white girls already say they want you, you gotta oblige.

Great comments

"With them, Wood (who's almost guaranteed to stay 4 years), Harrow, and Leslie, we would have almost all the parts needed to contend for a national title in 3 or 4 years. "

lol


plus, all of the recruits who we were 'looking at' that ended up places like FIU.

12/6/2012 9:34:33 PM

well, all the parts except a coach i guess.

Lol at Howell's picture on page three, he's so young and small

but you do have hand it to Sid, he made gott's job a lot easier with brown, leslie, howell, wood, CJWilliams and Painter.

give credit to Sid for also losing all of those players

12/7/2012 8:59:01 AM

what? do you mean when he was forced to resign, he lost them? or that he "lost" them by not being able to coach them to win? either way, point stands, he had some good recruiting classes.
