Missing in action

The crystal ball led me to another wild predicament.
But the news concerned a different Wildcat squad than the one previously mentioned.
It didn’t have to end up like this.
Prediction #2
2) Arizona will struggle to remain one of the top teams in the Pac 10 and shockingly, will miss the Big Dance. I […]

Was Durant Among the All-Time Great Athletes at Texas?

When I saw that the University of Texas was retiring the jerseys of several famous athletes and Kevin Durant’s name was on the list I thought….
Huh?
Durant was a great player and all, but does a one-and-done player who didn’t win a thing while with the Longhorns deserve to be in the same class as Vince […]

Maybe Humphrey Can Play in the NFL

Now that we (when I say we I mean Ryan) have done the NBA draft to death with phenomenal coverage that make some of the other sites bow their heads in awe and worship, it’s time to get on with other news.
It looks like it’s three strikes and you are out for Georgia Bulldogs junior […]

Shows How Much We Know

Through all the NBA Draft hype, I got a message from reader Ransom Marshall who asked me what I thought about IUPUI guard George Hill.
My response was: “I for one like Hill. Is he an NBA prospect? I agree with Ryan [Pravato] and say not this year. I’m not a fan of players from some […]

“I can’t wait to play in the NBA”

Shan Foster, a 6′6 guard, drafted #51 overall, averaged 20.3ppg his senior year at Vanderbilt while netting 46.9% of his downtown tries as well.
He may be a one trick pony on the court, but he’s far from it off the court.

NBA Draft garbage: Where Westbrook goes top 5 happens

THE 08 NBA Draft is fast approaching and I for one love to predict when certain players will get drafted and whether they will become the next Eddy Curry disaster or the next Monta Ellis find.
O.J. Mayo USC
O.J. has been talked about ad nauseam on this site as you probably already know (sorry […]

A Week Without O.J.

Is like a week without sunshine and sky rocketing gas prices in California.
Try as I might, there was no news this week about my favorite potential illegal recruit from USC, who could single handedly bring down and entire college basketball program. I wonder what L.A. Times O.J. Mayo beat writer Ben Bolch did with all […]

Stern and the NCAA forgot about Europe

As we all know, NBA Commissioner David Stern ruled that he no longer wants high school players skipping college and flooding the NBA.
This is a good rule. It doesn’t go far enough in my opinion, but a great rule nonetheless.
But apparently that hasn’t stopped at least one player from looking at other ways to make […]

Potential NBA draftees who would be better off NOT getting drafted

Why would anyone not want to see their name shown on the big draft board on draft night?
Well, undrafted players will be able to pick and chose the most ideal situation. They get to decide which team they go to. Drafted players don’t get to decide.
Michigan State’s Drew Neitzel
Drew played both point and shooting […]

Surprise Surprise

Almost a month ago—I’m not a professional analyst, yet—I wrote Should I stay or should I go? and proclaimed Jamont Gordon and Bill Walker, among others, would stay in school.
Well, they didn’t.
Walker’s decision wasn’t a big surprise, but Gordon’s was. But even more surprising was the college departures of George […]
