    Josh Smith finally commits to UCLA

    This is great news!! He definitely will need to lose weight and get into better shape but he sounds like a good kid and understands that it's going to require a lot of hard work to play for Howland. What's the likelihood of Barnes committing to UCLA?? I read that he had a great visit...

    Sidney signs with Miss State

    So much for moving out to Southern California to get more exposure. After all he went through in LA, he still ends up going back to Mississippi to attend college (possibly).

    Moser picks UCLA

    nice get for ucla. another nice looking recruiting class for next year. i'm very anxious to see how the freshmen develop this year. they are ranked very high for being as young as they are. i think they are being overrated right now. they may develop into a very good team come tournament...

    Hoops guys - Who is this good 6'10" recruit Sendek might get?

    Russ, I'm pretty sure you're right that Sidney would have to play 2 years in Spain if he were to skip his sr. yr in hs. I believe the rule says you have to be at least 19 AND be a year removed from your scheduled hs graduating class. Interesting to see what happens. I doubt he skips his sr...

    Hoops guys - Who is this good 6'10" recruit Sendek might get?

    The Sidney/ASU connection came about because of Sidney's former coach at Artesia, Loren Grover. Grover was Pera's assistant at Artesia and took over when Pera left for ASU. Grover and Pera are very good friends and Grover helped initiate the contact between Pera/ASU and Sidney. I don't think...

    More bad news for USC, Demar Derozan may ask out of LOI

    This would be funny if Derozan leaves, and USC is stuck with Lil Romeo. Here's a question that was brought up on another message board that I thought was interesting. Are there any rules regarding college players buying gifts, giving out money, etc. to teammates? Meaning, could Lil Romeo...

    More bad news for USC, Demar Derozan may ask out of LOI

    I agree that nothing much will happen to USC. The NCAA and Pac-10 already examined Mayo's amateur status before he enrolled at USC and determined that he was eligible. I'm not saying that just because the NCAA and Pac-10 found no violations that Mayo is clean, but that they'll use this excuse...

    Mayo confidant says he gave USC star gifts

    This issue is about getting money from agents or runners, not about coasting through 1 yr of college. I agree that the 1 yr rule is a joke because there's no reason for kids to go to class, they can coast, and all is good in their world. However, this case is about kids taking money while...

    Mayo confidant says he gave USC star gifts

    The one-year rule has nothing to do with this. Stuff like this has happened for as long as I can remember. Although, I am not a fan of Mayo, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Mayo's amateur status was examined extensively before he could enter USC. Guillory is also...

    Strong recruiting rumor J'Mison Morgan to UCLA

    Johnson also says he doesn't want to keep someone who doesn't want to be there. So if Morgan has already filed his request to get out of his LOI, that signals to me that he doesn't want to be there, so why haven't they let him out of his LOI?? Another concern/interesting note: Morgan avg...

    IF Mike leaves, who do you want to see coaching this team?

    I think Flip Saunders will bring the same result as D'Antoni. Solid during the regular season, but will flame out in the playoffs. Saunders could never help Minnesota and KG get to a finals appearance and last year Detroit got beat by an inferior Cleveland team. Getting Saunders would be a...

    Strong recruiting rumor J'Mison Morgan to UCLA

    From BRO free board: J'Mison Morgan: "UCLA was a better fit" 6:25 PM Mon, May 05, 2008 Neither J'Mison Morgan's high school coach nor his AAU coach are answering their phones this evening, but the 6-foot-11 Dallas South Oak Cliff senior did talk to our sister paper, the Dallas Morning News...

    Boris

    On paper, this would seem like a good front court, however, I think this lineup takes away a little bit from Amare and Shaq. I'm not sure Boris and Amare and/or Shaq are a great fit on the floor at the same time. Boris is best at the 3 where he can back down his opponent and create from the...

    Hats off to Darren Collison

    I didn't mean to imply that Collison would backup Westbrook next season. Since many have projected Westbrook as a PG in the NBA, I would think that Westbrook would want to put in lots of time at that position if he were to return to UCLA. However, with Collison returning, Westbrook will end up...

    Hats off to Darren Collison

    Wow, I'm surprised that he didn't at least declare without an agent to test the waters. I wonder if the feedback from NBA people essentially forced him to stay or if there were other reasons. I have to imagine his stock dropped dramatically in the tournament this year. Good for the Bruins...

    Here's an idea to improve our chances vs. the Spurs

    So basically, the Suns need half the roster from the Celtics.

    D'Antoni Stubborn?

    However, if there defense were better, maybe it could have kept the Suns in the game a little bit more. When a team's shot isn't falling, then they need to tighten up their defense until the offense gets back on track. IIRC, San Antonio scored 4 pts in a quarter during a game this year and...

    Lame fouls

    This strategy has worked well so far, even if Shaq did make a few free throws when the Spurs went to it last game. Why? Because if I remember correctly, when the Suns were making their run in the 4th qtr to get back in the game, D'antoni kept Shaq on the bench for a little while longer than he...

    Lame fouls

    why all the worrying about the Hack-a Shaq strategy?? He makes them when they count, right?...because all the ones in the first and 2nd qtr don't count, just the ones down the stretch..:confused:

    2 more Memphis underclassmen declare for NBA draft

    What's really interesting to me is that this rule essentially makes it so that all players with 1 year of eligibility remaining should essentially declare for the draft as long as they haven't done so previously. It can only help players no matter where their draft stock is. You may be a...

    2 more Memphis underclassmen declare for NBA draft

    Here's an article from DraftExpress about the new rule. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/New-NCAA-Rule-Permits-NBA-Teams-to-Pay-for-Underclassmen-Workouts/ From this article it seems like any underclassman can declare, but there are restrictions as to what NBA teams can pay for and the...

    2 more Memphis underclassmen declare for NBA draft

    If I'm not mistaken, there's also a new rule that is probably contributing to more underclassmen declaring to test the waters. In short, the new rule allows NBA teams to pay for players expenses to work out for the team. In the past, underclassmen who declared had to pay all their expenses to...

    Love and Collison entering draft

    I would be real leery of Collison if I were a GM. He seems like a great kid, but doesn't have the size and skill to succeed in the NBA. He was destoyed by Derrick Rose. The PG from Western Kentucky outplayed Collison, and he had a few other games where he just didn't play well. If he is to...

    Love and Collison entering draft

    Whoa, this would be great for UCLA. They'll be real young next year, but they'll have loads of talent.

    Tyler Hansbrough - overrated?

    Ditto, Hansbrough = Madsen, ver. 2.0 Now, if he could work on that jumper of his, I'd be little more impressed, but he's pretty much ineffective from 15ft and beyond. That won't cut it in today's NBA.
