November 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) Will get to watch him vs. Waukegan this year. I hadn't seen him in person since his freshmen year. He's a bit overrated, IMO. To me he just seemed to be a product of the system. Literally every play has to have like 5 or 6 picks until he gets the ball with an open shot available. Not sure he can succeed with a different style around him.
November 18, 200520 yr Valpo is ranked third over here in Indiana. Two huge junior recruits (Rob Hummel and Scott Martin) are going to lead us to the state finals where we will knock off Greg Oden and show all the scouts who the best players in the state are.
November 18, 200520 yr My team will miss my .2 ppg and my 25% mark behind the 3 pt line. Of course, we won 2 games last year, so they will only miss it so much....
November 19, 200520 yr Conant will be in the St. Viator tournament starting Tuesday. Look for the Cougar Crazies out in full force. We should at least make a run for the MSL title this year.

We should at least make a run for the MSL title this year. The Cougar Crazies have nothing on the "Crusader Crazies" of Brother Rice. I remember my freshmen there year and I've never been to a Brother Rice high school basketball game. I think we were playing Leo or St. Rita. The atmosphere was crazy. I still remember when we had to go to Thornwood for a sectional(when they had Eddy Curry), we somehow had as much if not more fans than they did. No one has the right to call themself "Crazies" in the state of Illinois except for Brother Rice. BTW, GO ST. IGNATIUS!!!! Neh, even though I ended up transferring there for my last two years, I could never muster up the emotion to cheer for them. Even when we beat Crane and made Florentino Valencia cry because we screwed up their undefeated season, I still could never get up for them. Though I like their coach who was my U.S. History teacher. Great guy.
November 19, 200520 yr Yep, Brother Rice does have by far the best student section. They outdraw every other team, home or away. Even named the best Student section in the country last year by EA SPORTS.

November 27, 200520 yr Author Warren beat Waukegan last night by 6. They are 3-0 to start the season.
November 27, 200520 yr Brother Rice starts off 0-3 Looks like our streak of 11 straight 20 win seasons will come to an end. Our 11 straight regional titles is in jeopardy as well.

November 28, 200520 yr There was an article on Jon Scheyer in ESPN the Magazine. I read the article and thought it was kinda s***ty. They called it a Hickoryesque state title, I was a little offended. The article focused on how he 'betrayed' Illinois by going to Duke. Believe me I hate Duke, but it's hard to turn them down, especially when you grow up a Duke fan as a kid like Scheyer. Meanwhile, the Spartans are 4-0 after sweeping the Lake-Cook Thanksgiving Tournament. Scheyer has scored over 30 in all 4 games and is averaging around 35 I think.

For the record, Scheyer got rocked at the health club near me. True story.
November 29, 200520 yr The is going to be a "Hoops Fest" at a local high school. There will be 8 state champion playing, including Oak Hill Academy. Roy Williams, Bob Huggins and Tommie Amaker, among others, are expected to attend. Any of you hoops junkies in So. Illinois might want to come down to western KY Saturday.
