I'll just leave this here:

 

[CubInOK]

Looks like the west coast guys on the McD's roster will be: the Wear twins (North Carolina), Renardo Sidney (undecided), Michael Snaer (Florida State), Avery Bradley (Texas) and Abdul Gaddy (Washington).

 

Gotta love the politics in a HS AA game.

 

and the East Coast is five guys going to Duke, I assume

Duke hasn't finalized scholarships for next year's class, which is why the McD's East team hasn't been set yet.

 

The official rosters won't be announced for another week, but these are the names I know have found their way out.

I'm pretty sure Tommy Mason-Griffin and Keith "Tiny" Gallon are McD's AAs as well.

Quick question. Why the Hell is Florida State ranked? Because they beat Clemson?

[Derwood]

Quick question. Why the Hell is Florida State ranked? Because they beat Clemson?

 

because there aren't enough good teams to fill the Top 25 this year, so the 15-25 rankings are a revolving door of mediocrity

[TruffleShuffle]

oh hey, another big 10 brickfest ending in the 40s or 50s.

[Rusch33]

Big 10 games involving Wisconsin/Michigan/Iowa are absolutely terrible to watch. How in the hell did Michigan beat Duke?

[TruffleShuffle]

4-25 from downtown by michigan, but 12-23 from inside the arc. hey, keep firing up those bricks from outside, great game plan.

 

by the way, shooting the 7th-highest percent from beyond the arc of any D-I team, but having the 233rd-best 3-point shooting percentage, is not a formula for success.

[Magnetic Curses]

Ha ha you play in the Big 12. Ha ha Illinois has beaten you 9 straight years. Ha ha you have never been to a Final Four. Ha ha your last conference title was taken away by the NCAA.

 

Your bitterness is unbelievably delicious.

i haven't paid any attention to this yet this year. Is Gallon really a McDonald's AA? He must have taken the annual overrated duke post-recruit all-american nod from a blue devil

you'd almost think illinois was good this year or something

If Ryan Kelly makes the AA game, I will puke.

i remember zach randolph looked really, really good. neil fingleton was a guy from worcester who i'd seen working out on the holy cross campus; there was one play where someone stole the ball and passed it down the court and fingleton was still running the other way. he was like shawn bradley, except about 90% less coordinated. i knew he had zero shot at becoming a real player.

Don't get mad at me because we're ranked higher in a better conference, maybe some day you'll get one of those lucky bounces to go your way.

That guy's ranking are smoking the Phelps. I absolutely refuse to believe that the PAC-10 is the #2 conference this year. No way. I won't even go into how many teams in the B10 are better than most of the B12. The Big 12 is down this year, much like the B10 was last year, but without a truly dominant team, mostly because Kansas is so young and doesn't have a true PG.

 

The Pomeroy ratings are crap in my opinion. RPI is a little better, but there really isn't a good way to rate everybody since none of them (relatively anyway) play each other.

When I woke up this morning I really did not expect someone to remind me of Neil Fingleton.

i'm not blaming you for anything, just suggesting that you eunuchs avert your gaze when the subject of illini basketball comes up.

They're above average. In a down year for college basketball, I think you can legitimately say Illinois is good.

they have very few passable players. that will change soon, though.
