Please Seattle pick Crabtree.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 12:01 PM) We are gonna be um....amazing next year. With Lawson signing with Bill Duffy and John Wall likely committing to Duke. It will be up to you to defeat the dark-side next year.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 03:58 PM) Chad Ford: He was awesome and he'll compete with Ed Davis and a few other freshmen for that. However, there is some buzz that Wall believes he might be eligible for THIS year's draft. I've been doing some digging and will be filing a story later today. The short rub is this: Wall is a 5th year senior and depending on how you read the collective bargaining agreement, 5th year seniors are eligible for the draft as long as the turn 19 in the calander year (Wall does). The league is taking a wait and see approach. If he declares, they'll research and make a ruling. If he does declare and is ruled eligible (two big ifs) he's a Top 5 pick in this draft. Maybe Top 3. It's a case that Wall isn't going to win. Also in the rules it stipulates that you must be a year out of your high school graduation. Wall still won't graduate from high school until he completes this semester.

As a Steelers fan, I love seeing the joke of a franchise that Cleveland has become since rejoining the league. However, as a Texas Tech fan, I'm terrified of Crabtree ending up in Cleveland.

If UNC isn't going to be legit contenders next year, I'm cheering for Izzo to take another championship home. MSU should be pretty nasty next year.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 11:41 PM) Tyler Hansbrough? Your time in the spotlight is mercifully over. Meet J.J. Redick and Adam Morrison. Good bye. Congrats@Palehose. Now it's officially baseball time for me. Last time UNC won it all, the Chisox had a decent season as well... Hopefully I can have another ridiculous sports year. Thanks J4Life.

That's gotta be the best minor league lineup I have seen in a long, long time.

Couldn't have asked for a better season for UNC. Tyler will have his jersey retired for NPOY, Lawson will have his jersey in the rafters for his ACC POY award, and now Wayne Ellington will have his jersey in the rafters for the tourney MOP award. UNC will lose Hansbrough, Lawson, Ellington, Green, and Frasor from the rotation this year. That's 4 of UNC's top 34 scorers in UNC history.

QUOTE (4 points @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 12:43 PM) Wasn`t Steve Martin in that movie? Seriously though, I won`t wish the Heels luck, because with their talent they don`t need any. I`m really hoping My Spartans can give them a game, and somehow pull off the upset of the year. Good luck to you MSU fans as well. You have a classy program and coach. I will be upset, but it could certainly be worse than losing to Izzo.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 11:45 PM) Kickass. Congrats to you guys. My experience with Heel fans has always been a positive one (especially in Atlanta this year). I hope you guys win on Monday. Thanks chimpy. There are plenty of douchebag UNC fans, they feel like they own the world. I try to stay humble through it all.

Looks like Gerald Henderson is leaving Duke as well, very good night for me :-). http://www.draftexpress.com/blog/Jonathan-...-Part-One--3164

Will be an interesting final game crowd. MSU is homecourt, but UNC fans travel as well as anyone. I expect a 60-40 MSU crowd.

Jeff Adrien is such a piece of s***. The whole UConn program is a joke.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) Exactly what I said, Wall is going to Duke or UK. I am sure Roy is freaking out after watching the doublemint twins totally suck in the MCD's game. David and Travis Wear combined for 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal. I can't seem to find Thomas Robinson and or Elijah Johnson's stats anywhere

Roy Williams has silently been recruiting John Wall for the last few weeks, and placed a call to him from the Final Four yesterday. Things are going to get REAL interesting.

NCAA can't let those kind of agreemants stand. Otherwise the coaches have ALL of the power. They can move about freely if they don't get enough money and bring their players with them. Pretty absurd. Henry should be able to attend any of the other 323 D-1 schools, but not Kentucky.

Hard not to be a huge fan of Blake Griffin. He's the best player in the nation and carries himself as well as possible.

Looks like Seth Curry will be transferring to Duke.

Gillespie is pretty interesting, along the same lines as Sampson. Coaches that are known as sleazeballs are a very risky hire. Bryce Drew and his recruiting tactics are another example. As for Paul Hewitt, I can't imagine Kentucky being interested. Hewitt is a guy that can recruit well, but can't coach his way out of a paper bag. Drew is actually in the same boat. Travis Ford to UK seems like a no-brainer to me, but of course UK will keep swinging for the fences and striking out first.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) Rumor is it'll be an ACC school. NC State is desperate for talent, their top 3 scorers are leaving off of a mediocre squad.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) Viciedo must had some huge problems to send him down after 25 at bats, while at the same time hitting homeruns over 400 feet to opposite field. I'm interested in seeing how he does down at the lower levels, hopefully this will piss him off enough to get his s*** together, even though I know he is still young. I don't see how you got that out of the situation. Viciendo is 20 years old and will be in AAA, outside of Jon Garland, I can't think of many 20 year olds we have seen on our AAA team. Fields is clearly playing well enough to earn the 3B spot, and splitting time and at-bats will do nothing for Viciendo's potential and progress. Brandon Allen going to AA instead of AAA actually surprised me the most.

I've got a crazy one. ACC vs. Big East, and no UConn. UNC WF Pittsburgh Marquette Even with Dominic James out, I like Marquette's veterans and talent. Jimmy Butler is doing a very solid job in his newfound minutes and is a good rebounding option at 6'6 in the SF slot.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 06:00 PM) I can understand why. If I were in Miami's situation, I'd be fed up with him waiting around and feel the same way. But as a UT fan, since he decided not to sign and we only got in on his recruitment about 2 months ago, I love the fact that we got a talented player such as himself. If Kiffen doesn't get more recruiting violations for this get, then it's a great move. For UT's sake, Brian Butler needs to go off into obscurity. But the chances of that happening are about as good as me getting with Jessica Alba.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Mar 14, 2009 -> 03:03 PM) Thanks man, I don't mean to sound ignorant, but you know we've never been anywhere like this. No problem, live it up :-). Douglas is the best overall player in the ACC, so I don't have a problem with it. Just don't let Duke win.

Congrats Chimpy, FSU played a very solid game. Hopefully Roy is saving his timeouts for a good cause. Never seen such a great coach as Roy so overwhelmed in end-game situations. It's amazing.
