Out of those guys the only one I care about is Valenzuela. The guy might develop into a pretty good hitter if he can ever stay healthy.

Other good news is that U of I the current favorite of Top 25 Junior David Palmer. I saw him play when he came for an unofficial visit last month and he is going to be a great player. BTW, Palmer isn't rated in the top 100 Juniors in Hoop Scoop. Where'd you see that he's consensus top 25? I never said consensus, but I really have to question their rankings if he is not in the top 100. He might not be a consensus top 25 but he should at a minimum be top 40. Here is where I got the info. Him and Hansbrough both visited U of I last month. Hansbrough is more highly regarded but I came away just as impressed by Palmer. Remember, I only saw them once though, I have also seen Luke Zeller play as he also visited U of I. All three are going to be great players, if U of I gets one I'll be happy, especially since the state of Illinois is stacked for '05.LINK

IU with two of the top 5 players in the country. Damn Mike Davis is one hell of a recruiter. Yeah, but don't be surprised if one of those guys goes pro.

theinsidershoops.com also has Howard #1. Honestly, I was being biased when I said Livingston is the number one player in the country. I do think he is as good as Howard and really, any player in the top 10 is an absolute stud and it doesn't matter how they are ranked.

Dwight Howard is from Georgia and Livingston plays at Peoria Central in Peoria, IL.

No, Livingston is better than Telfair. Telfair is great don't get me wrong but part of the reason he has the hype he does is due to the fact he is from New York. Livingston is pretty much the consensus #1 player in this class according to most recruiting analysts. I follow basketball recruiting religiously and I would have to disagree with you on your belief that Livingston is the best high school player. In all but 1 of the creditible ranks that I have seen Dwight Howard has been ranked as the top player. Furthermore, there have been numerous articles from places like ESPN and Rivals that clearly say that Howard is the top high school player. To take it a step further, rumor is that Howard might be the 1st player taken in next years draft if he declares(which is highly likely). Don't get me wrong, Livingston is a great player and ranked 2nd or 3rd in most rankings, but he is not better then Howard IMO(I have seen both Howard and Livingston play in person) and the experts opinion. I hate to burst you bubble as well, but there was a recent premium article out that said Duke and Arizona are 1-2 at this point with Illinois at 3 in regard to Livingston. You better hope that his visit changes his mind, but in the end I think he will end up at either Duke or Arizona(as do most of the experts). Yeah, you could definately argue that Howard is better than Livingston. I personally don't care about Howard because there is no chance that he ever sees a college basketball court. I really am not as big a fan of the NBA as I used to be because it has turned into a developmental league. Oh, and I agree that Duke is the favorite, but that usually is the case until a guy takes his official visit at another school. Pruitt was considered a done deal for MSU after taking his visit there, a week and a half later he committed to U of I. The odds are against Illinios, but Livingston has said all along he is making the decision and he will choose where he feels most comfortable.

Really, than why did he take Kansas off his list as soon as Self went there. And no I'm not saying we are getting Livingston because I still say Duke is the favorite. And just so you know, Self was recruiting Jackson at Illinois too. Know your facts before you spit this crap out.

You obviously don't follow this thread closely enough. I posted a few of her pics, although that was about 25 pages back.

No problem.

This is exactly the same way I feel.

Yeah, but I bet I'm stronger than you pound for pound. WHAT DOES POUND FOR POUND MATTER? STRENGTH IS STRENGTH. I'm 6'2 It really doesn't it is more a measure of physical fitness than anything else. I forgot to put one of these in that post also

So you would rather have Raef "I've never won a damn thing in my life" Lafrentz and his 5 year 69 million dollar contract.

Other good news is that U of I the current favorite of Top 25 Junior David Palmer. I saw him play when he came for an unofficial visit last month and he is going to be a great player.

Walker isn't great but he is hardly horrible. He is a solid player and if he can check the ego and play the role of distributor he will be a good pickup for Dallas. At any rate he is better than Raef Lafrentz.

No, Livingston is better than Telfair. Telfair is great don't get me wrong but part of the reason he has the hype he does is due to the fact he is from New York. Livingston is pretty much the consensus #1 player in this class according to most recruiting analysts.

soxforlife=worst hot chick poster ever. First the Hilary Duff pic fiasco now the dreaded red x.

The #1 High School basketball player in America is coming to Champaign on Saturday. His list is down to Duke, Zona, and U of I. Lets hope he makes the right decision and continues the Peoria-Champaign connection.

Have fun

500 replies, who would have thought that a thread of hot girls on a site of mostly young guys would be so successful.

Yeah, I do follow what the Bible says, I just don't practice Catholicism (I don't go to Church ever). The link you posted to that picture has some sort of error and messed up page 32 on the thread. Jason fixed it based on my suggestion.

whitesox99, I could probably argue that I'm among the most "religious" (haha..believe it or not) on this board and I coudn't agree with you more. Jesus must cry sometimes(or a whole lot) in heaven...men and women, mostly men though, have hijacked something amazing and turned it into.... I'll just stop there. Yeah, I actually went to Catholic school but have been completely turned off by organized religion. P.S. You messed up the Hot chicks thread for a while.

What's agnostic? From dictionary.com One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism. I think people like that just want a rise out of everyone. Seems silly to me, but what do I know. I couldn't not imagine not believing in God and all the Catholic beliefs. I've yet to see a good reason to believe in one... Lets not get into a religious debate but I believe there is a god. It really makes no sense that the universe just happened to appear. However, and I've stated this before, that organized religion is detrimental to society as people use it to justify their causes.
