That Flyers/Pens game was awesome. Playoff hockey is the best. I tried to stay up for the Nucks/Kings but I passed out. Nice surprise seeing they lost at home.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 12, 2012 -> 06:59 AM) Blame the NBA & guys like Jerry Krause who couldn't stay away from high schoolers like Eddy Curry. Dirty or not, Calipari has taken full advantage of the one & done rule to almost create a minor league system at Kentucky. Other schools sell kids on their university, and he sells them on his ability to get them ready for the NBA. And he now has the track record with all the recent draft picks they have had. I HATE one and dones. Its killing the quality of college bball. With that said, Coach Cal has done it dirty before, so the chance is still out there that he's doing it again. He COULD be getting these guys clean, but history points a different direction.

Right there. Noel was supposed to pick Georgetown, all signs were pointing there. Picks Kentucky. It's just weird. The fact that they are extremely good is definitely a huge pull for these top 1-10 guys, its also a clear path to the NBA most likely. So whatever, probably another final four run.

I dont know about the IU guys but it pisses me off every time I see Gary Harris and the f***ing MSU logo next to his name.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 06:32 PM) That's actually my order as well, but I've been seeing McGary's name (either in some random ESPN article or on the bottom line) with a "3" next to it a ton recently, which is why that was in my head. Yeah, I feel like I saw that too. Just checked ESPN and they have him down at 27, maybe he fell. They also love Gary Harris and Badger's Dekker.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 06:24 PM) Just depends who you go by, I guess. One of them (ESPN, I think?) rates McGary as 3. EDIT: You edited your post at the time I posted this. Not fair. I usually go: Scout Rivals 24/7 ESPN On anything recruiting. Rivals has McGary at 30, actually has Robinson at 11 and Dekker at 13. Yogi comes in at 19, Hallowell down at 41 just above Perea

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 05:59 PM) Just because McGary is going to Michigan doesn't mean he doesn't count, Rock! He's #21, Harris is #11 If by some miracle Parker commits to OSU he's #20 Sorry should have mentioned im using Scout, since thats what I pay for. For good measure: Hallowell 27 Robinson 28 Dekker 30 Perea 33 Yogi 34 Woodbury 51 Hammons 70 Johnson 80 Stauskas 84 Costello 92 Gesell 96 Kaminski 98 Davis 99 Simpson 100 Big Ten top 100 recruits. I bet nobody can guess the schools without looking.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 01:56 PM) They have all lost massive amounts thus far and have the knowledge to go on their own probably. I'm curious why they walk off. Saw the pilot for "B in Apr 23" online. It has it's moments. I'll watch to see where it goes. The girl that was on Breaking Bad is pretty good but Van Der Beek is pretty stale. Is there a stat for how many people go on that show and gain it all back? It easy to lose weight in an environment like a camp away from your family and whatnot, its another thing to go back to reality where you have to get your ass to a gym, shop for yourself and deal with enablers all around you.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) And you can bet that whichever kids go to UK, there will be cries of dirty recruiting. But any kid that chooses a different school was obviously cleanly recruited. The way they pluck kids from schools that have been after them longer and probably local points to that every time. UK already has 2 5 stars and 1 4 star. #15, #17, #35 Only Gary Harris is ranked higher for the Big Ten. Add in 2-3 of what I posted before and you have one of the best classes in recent history, again. Last year they brought in ONLY 5 star recruits for the #1 class. The year before they averaged 4 stars for the #1 class. The year before they averaged 4.33 stars for the #1 class. To put that in perspective, the Indiana class that everyone is jacked up about averages 3.60 stars for the #3 class The OSU class in 2008 average 4.0 stars for #1 Probably the best class in OSU history in 2005 averaged 4.6 stars for #2 The illinois class in 2010 had a 4.33 avg for #11 UK could bring in back to back to back to back #1 classes and this one COULD be their best. Ridiculous

Kentucky is in on the #1, #2, #7, #22, #25 kids in the country coming down the stretch here. Thats unreal. Once again will give them the best class in the country.

Seriously, someone watch that video, what is that guy trying to chant that pissed off AJ? Mommy senior? Butthole zipper I cant figure it out.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 01:29 PM) Video of the AJ homer. 42 second mark...bad word? http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_...8374897313-1024 I still cant decipher what that guy was trying to chant. Sounds like butthole zipper.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 01:13 PM) http://twitpic.com/98l11b And then he went to the dugout and I'm pretty sure he referred to the fan in a way that a couple NBA players got fined for last year. Maybe he was just doing a Geoff Blum impression?

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 12:57 PM) Last night was the first episode I watched this season and saw previews. I thought next season was when they walked off. They walk off the show? Well good luck with your fatness and early death.

I think John Danks is a very good #3 pitcher. But thats about it. Sale could be an ace.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 11:05 AM) Given that news, I think you have to deal off Forte for a 2nd or 3rd round pick and then draft a back in the 2nd round to spell Bush. The Bears can't afford to pay Matt, and even if they could, I wouldn't want them to do so. Agreed. I really like the guy but there are backs coming out of college every year and we can lean on Bush in the meantime.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 11:28 AM) Nash isnt going to make Wade and Lebron less flaky. The Heat could go 72-10 if they actually started playing 100 percent of the time and stopped the drama. But they are too busy with their pregame punching contests and trying to alley oop every pass. Yeah, that punching thing is pretty stupid, like junior high stupid.

Anyone have a live tv link? I need to find those

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 10:52 AM) I think thoughts of crazy but seemingly plausible things like that went out the window this season with the compressed schedule. What do you think they could do if Nash went there next year for their whole MLE? It would take the ball out of the hands of their two best players for even more time. That woud be a weird fit.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 10:47 AM) That was my mistake. I didn't really do research on that and just posted something I had heard in the past. I'm still interested to hear how tOSU was in on Anthony Davis before he shot up in height and was in before everyone else though. And please don't talk about baseless claims when you were saying it might not be worth recruiting Jabari Parker because of potential shadiness. I'd like to see some evidence of that too. This is really going to go nowhere. AS for Parker, its all whispers. However for evidence, how about teams contemplating hiring his HS and AAU coach. Thats shady as f***. Secondly I wouldnt be surprised to see Lola Parker getting a new employer wherever he goes. Where there is smoke there is fire, however its probably not as bad at this point as its going to get, which is why I think Illinois will bow out at some point because Groce wont play those games. Frankly if Illinois DOES get the kid I think that cements that top players can be had out of Chicago without shady bulls***, and I would be very happy for them. It would make the conference ridiculous his freshman year, I mean super super SEC-football type ridiculous. As for Davis, you guys are all going on when offers were given, which wont support anything that I say so it doesnt matter to argue. Coach Cal came in with his bag of tricks and rode him to a national title.

The beginning of Hell's Bells really gets me going too.

Seriously, who still thinks the Heat can go 72-10???

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 08:31 PM) Ron Zook The question is will you wait until spring football is over to hire a coach? There is ALOT of recruiting left in the year and you probably can wait a little but not much.

Ipad 2's are going off some places at 300-350. Really debating whether to get a 3 or a 2.
