QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 06:45 PM) I think Groce did very well. Priority 1 and 2 is keeping Leonard and Howard. Leonard should, and likely will, go pro. Groce teaches a guard-oriented offense anyways.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 04:07 PM) Meh, time will tell, but currently he lost a job to a couple of very mediocre pitchers (Jeff Samardzija had a decent year last year, but didn't start at all). They were never going to not put Volstad in the rotation and look like they gave up Zambrano for nothing.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 03:59 PM) LOL, remember all those people complaining about how the Cubs got a MLB starter in Wood while we got Molina. I still think he has a better chance of being a decent MLB starter than Molina.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) I'm on board with Groce, love what I've read about him, let's get this s*** rolling. 2 more hours and this whole thing is finally over. Time to win the press conference. Sounds like Jerrance Howard won't return, but still will have a good assistant staff in place. With that said, who knows how many defections there are if Jerrance leaves.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 03:56 AM) Ive never seen him play. 2 years ago as a freshman he had pretty good stats. Wisconsin was really thin on QB so this was really good for them. He was AWFUL last year when he played for Maryland

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 03:09 PM) Didn't mccamey average 13 one year? Most he averaged was 7.1 assists in an offense that was built to pad assist totals (so much catch and shoot, as you know).

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 03:23 AM) Yogi Ferrell looking studly in the McD's game. I can see him being the type of player that may only put up 8-12 points in the Big Ten season, but he'll also average 10 assists/game. Averaging 10 assists a game in college basketball is almost impossible. Add in the fact IU plays in the Big 10 with a lot of quality defenses, and I would say it would be impossible for Ferrell to average 10 assists a game. Kendall Marshall is one of the best passers I've ever seen in college basketball, and he averaged 9.7 assists per game for a run and gun offense with NBA quality players around him. As for the McDonald's game last night, the talent level continues to dwindle it seems. Shabazz was pretty impressive, but after that, the talent level quickly faded. Never seen so many missed dunks by players simply not elevating high enough. Scouts absolutely ripped on this class all week, saying they've never seen so few potential pros on the McD roster.

Sounds like no announcement of a coach today either. I cannot believe some fans want Reggie Theus. His roster at New Mexico St. was full of transfers, with some due to criminal reasons. It would be funny to see Theus and Hoiberg go after the same reclamation projects.

72-90...with the lack of depth in the minors, if KW starts selling during the year on guys like Floyd/AJ/Thornton, it's going to get really ugly

- Morel is hitting in the 3rd spot by June - Paul Konerko steals two bases this year - Adam Dunn hits the longest home run in the history of the Cell - Hector Santiago is our closer from day 1 and keeps the job - AJ finishes the year catching for the Marlins - A key White Sox players suffers a season-ending injury before end of May - Robin Ventura doesn't manage the 2013 White Sox - Gordon Beckham is traded at the deadline - K. Fukudome is our most reliable outfielder at the plate/in the field

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 03:36 AM) Anybody been watching Eastbound & Down? It feels like this season just keep getting worse & worse. I haven't minded it this season, but tonight's episode might have been the worst one of the series.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 12:02 AM) What a game, probably the best of the tourney so far. Looks like KU is pulling away now. The 2nd half of that game was dreadful. First half was great, reminded me of the IU/Ky first half.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 10:10 PM) I'd love to watch one of the very few Hawks game I get on TV here, but alas, my friends and I are going to see American Reunion soon. I thought that doesn't come out for a while?

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 09:04 PM) I hate soxtalkers who read into an innocuous comment, but here I go to see if it's fun to do Robin at the end of that interview--when asked what has been surprising for him-- said that the job has been time consuming Hawk: "how bout we ask you again in the middle of the season" In two years Robin will quit and decide he'd like to do something else If it makes you feel better, I've thought a few times that Robin is one and done as a manager with regards to tenure.

Kentucky, in my opinion, is the best overall team since the UCONN team with Okafor, Gordon, etc. (when they were all healthy). If they shoot FTs like Reggie Miller last night, this tournament is over.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 04:49 AM) The end of the game, by every team in this tournament Seriously, this is absolutely ridiculous

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 04:37 AM) Can NC State pull this off? 7-0 run late to bring it to within 1. 37 ticks left. That would require a team making a good play in the last 10 seconds of a game.

It's a shame one of these teams has to lose. Both are playing better tonight than anyone else did in the other 7 games.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 03:27 AM) More talented guys like Drummond, Jones and Barnes failing to play to their abilities. Drummond has a significantly higher ceiling with regards to NBA potential. Heck, M. Leonard does as well. Is TRob really going to be anything better than Taj Gibson in the NBA?

I know he shows great hustle and is a strong rebounder, but how in the world is Thomas Robinson the #3 prospect in all of college basketball? He has absolutely no touch around the basket and limited range.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 02:33 AM) Sometimes I watch Kentucky and think they could legitimately beat the Bobcats. If you switch Teague with Wall as a freshman two years ago, I say they'd have a chance.

Still can't believe the plan is to have AJP batting 2nd and Rios 3rd this year.

Baylor and UK would be the battle of the "It's Only Cheating If You Get Caught" teams

Don't know how many people are watching, but Hawk just spent 5 minutes singing the praises of Andy Wilkin.

Beckham looked pretty mediocre in that AB. I do hope Dan Johnson makes the team, as I've always been a fan.
