College Basketball 2010-11

DePaul signed Shane Larkin, son of former Reds SS Barry Larkin today. #62 in the country according to Rivals. That's 3 guards signed so far from Purnell. Not bad. Going to be a run and gun team, might as well have guys who can run and jump and handle the ball.

 

Waiting on Mike Shaw to hopefully be the big man for the class (although he will/should probably go to Illinois).

[SouthSideRyan]

I think it's West Virginia or Illinois for Shaw

[Magnetic Curses]

shaw's got to pass the act first.

Otherwise he'll have to go to West Virginia?

like i said, he's got the act to pass first.anyways, last week i would have told you marquette, but he said some weird things about them after MM.

 

i think that eliminates irvin's first choice, so now he has to sell the heck out of west virginia in order to make any money, because neither illinois nor depaul pays players, handlers or aau coaches.

 

if it were up to shaw, he'd just be a kid and go and be with his friends at illinois or depaul. i think illinois leads for him now after the strange weekend in milwaukee, to be honest.

west virginia would be more likely to find a way to get him through, ala derrick rose and memphis.

Love it.

LeBryan Nash to pick his team on TV tomorrow. That pretty much rules out KU, who almost never gets picked under these circumstances. (And I'm not counting Selby unless he gets cleared to play.)

keaton miles just took the last scholarship wvu had to offer in this class. it looks very good for the illini as i think his visit to marquette was disappointing and depaul is trailing greatly.

Thought you guys might find this interesting-

Looks like the conference commishioners don't like AAU ball.

As you said it means nothing but I'm kind of surprised Butler isn't higher. Doesn't pretty much everyone come back from their team last year?

[SpongeWorthy]

Their best player, Gordon Hayward, was drafted to the Jazz.

Did NC find a point guard yet?

[illiniguy]

Was that done before Robbie Hummel's leg exploded?

[Exile on Waveland]

By the ranking, it seems some weird mixture. They surely would be higher with Hummel, but surely should be lower without. I don't see how No. 8 makes sense either way.

Kendall Marshall was a pretty good recruit at PG. Larry Drew is still expected to start and I think he will be perfectly adequate for them. A bigger problem for them is their complete lack of big guys (especially considering Zeller's injury history).

Not that it means anything, but #3 preseason looks great to me! KSU may have the toughest OOC schedule of anyone this year. It's at least up there with the best of them:

 

 

VA Tech

in KC vs Gonzaga

in KC vs Duke or Marquette

@ Washington State

in Sunrise Fla vs Florida

UNLV

 

Should prepare them well for the tournament.

 

Oh, and holy crap, Devon Peterson just joined the team as a walk on. KSU just got even MORE athletic!

That's just as tough OOC for sure, but we see 2 of those teams 3x in the regular season. :)

[Vanilla Ice]

Michigan State

Butler

Kansas State/Gonzaga

Temple

Marquette

 

is pretty hard too

[Magnetic Curses]

nobody cares about the ooc schedule of kansas state (of all schools) or duke.

 

coach k looks like a 10-year old awkwardly groping an xbox on christmas day in that picture.

[Vanilla Ice]

oh [expletive], we have bradley too. how could i forget about them?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Ben McLemore is down to Mizzou and Kansas. I'm not holding my breath, but at least we've got a shot.
