  1. Yes, but Butch wasn't ready to play as a frosh. Jereme is.
  2. I just think it sends an interesting message to future recruits. A McDonalds All American is setting behind Billy freaking Cole. Our last two Mr. Basketballs can't start for us. I hope it doesn't last much longer. So you think Paul and Richmond should both start now. Nope. But either one should start over Billy Cole. You pretty much have to start McDonalds All Americans, unless you are Duke or UNC and have other ones in front of them. Or if you start Brandon Paul over him. Or you're Wisconsin and you redshirt him. Oh yeah Jereme is just like Brian Butch.

  5. I hate seeing Billy Cole start over Jereme Richmond. Hate it.
  6. Cleveland's going to regret this badly when no one ever plays there for very long, and Lebron makes it his mission to destroy the Cavs like Jordan did everytime he plays them. Maybe the Chosen One should concentrate on making it his mission to beat the really good teams when it matters?
  7. did you watch? They looked sloppy for sure, but it looked like the freshman just need to adjust to the speed and everybody needs to get used to playing with each other. Plus McCamey hasn't really been running the point, since Bruce is trying to develop a back up. I thought Paul looked a lot better last night than he did last year. He seemed much more under control and made better decisions. Of course it helped his shot was falling. I'm not worried. This will take care of itself. He bombs this year and he's gone.
  8. So two games against D2 schools and two very crappy games. Come on Bruce. This is a big year for you. You can't play the I don't have the talent card anymore.
  9. I understand, I just hat to see the college basketball game go down the road of college football in reguards to no coahces honoring the kids commitment.
  10. He supposedly still has Texas as his favorite, he just wants to go take some more visits to make sure. Still that sucks. Luckily Barnes has pulled pretty much every kid from Findlay Prep in NV so I still have hope, and he is good friends with Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph if they are not one and done's. I keep hearing Duke. Why is K going after committed kids so hard now?
  11. Hamilton doesn't mess with that weak stuff. At some point he did. Then went even harder. Hamilton is amazing. Who takes a 4 year vacation and comes back and plays at that high of a level?
  12. People had heard of Ron Washington before he got the job, though. That means he's a better manager than Quade ever could be. Either that or blow works. How much blow are you talking about? Have you seen how good Josh Hamilton is, blow definately works. Also see the 1986 Mets.
  13. Is it ever going to be our turn?
  14. Sean May played basketball at North Carolina and is now the worst player in the NBA :) :) :-s But Augustine just fouled him again. That whole "amazing" UNC team has really knocked em dead in the pros.
  15. Barry Lamar Bonds Karl Malone
  16. In Pearl's defense though he has done nothing but uphold the rules of the NCAA in the meantime. Now that we have Mike Shaw, my new guy I want is Tommy Hamilton. Get him and you get Parker.
  17. langford is making the trip up for an official visit this weekend...i wouldn't be surprised if he committed this weekend or soon thereafter. lil blurb on shaw's committment http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/10/de-la-salle-forward-shaw-picks-illinois.html this part i love...can't wait to see all these kids play together. I'm loving the family atmosphere we are building with our program. It's unfortunate that it took so long for us to get it to the point where the ex players are back around the program. Every recruit mentions it. Kudos to Weber and staff. Now start winning some games and get us back into the second weekend of the tournament. http://alioneye.com/2010/10/28/mike-shaw-to-illinois-what-it-means/ Great article, we are gonna have more talent on one team than we ever had.
  18. Brandon Rush went to 4 high schools. One of which isn't even accredited, but he managed to qualify.
  19. We have two left to fill. Get Langford and then go after Marerro hard.
  20. I know it's a back to back game and it's just one game in a long season, but I want to be irrational. Suck it LeBron and LeBron is the greatest lovers. All summer we heard how he couldn't be expected win with these no talent bums, who have lost a ton this offseason. And yet they beat Boston and you can't. You are the goat alright. You gave up in the playoffs because it was hard.
  21. Come on Cavs.
  22. Really hope Shaw ends up at Illinois.
  23. Joe Bertrand's probably relieved. Joe can actually play point guard from what I've read. Chasson was scared of Tracy, Mychael, D.J., Brandon and Crandall. I don't blame him.
  24. Exactly. If Wade can accept being the #2 guy on the team he once led to a championship, then things will work out well. If that happens though, I can't see this marriage working for more than a couple of years. At some point, Wade is going to wonder if his legacy is going to be taking Scottie's title of "best sidekick in NBA history" away from him. He might end up with the same Kobe complex where he's constantly critiqued for "never winning a championship with his team". Now I would agree 2006 was his team but retroactively people will call it a Shaq/Wade title, not a Wade title with Shaq. And remember, he's 28, he's not 25 like LeBron. He has miles on him. Anyways we'll see. They have many more games to play together, but through game 1 the results were slightly alarming. LeBron and DWade have been in the league the same ammount of time. They have the same miles on their legs.
  25. I don't blame him. He was gonna struggle to get minutes for us.
