Yea .. I'd like to see our bigs YAM those chippies .. I almost crushed my beer when I saw Julian get that OOP from Wright ... It seems coach wants Julian on the floor as much as possible - but he did seem wasted towards the end .. hope he can get that stamina right for the season .. maybe he had to much turkey over the weekend ..lol ... also pointed out above was the perimeter D .. they seemed to have many wide open looks .. coach mentioned it so Im sure we'll work on it .. I like that the pace has been picked up a notch on O - Run when its there type approach - thats great .. when we're on we'll be a tough out for anyone ..there was alot to be happy about with this young squad tonight .. I think we're in for a strong season and may shock a few people along the way ..right now we're looked at like the team that run's outta gas - underachieves and run's a boring offense .. cool with me .. but I see a completely different attitude from our players and the chemistry seems fluent .. time will tell .. looking forward to watching this season unfold .. one game at a time

Boz .. I agree 100% about "our bad stretches" which is still understandable at this point in the season. I know MSM does not compare to the teams we'll face in the Conf. , but I'd like to see Chris or Jason be able to settle things down when things get funky on "O" or the opposite team gets streaky. What I did like was the fact that MSM was hitting every three they threw up and we still maintained our focus and built a lead..Wright was in a zone and when he shoots the ball in control , I feel he's very dangerous .. good showing for Chris today .. I liked seeing our guards attack the rim , but at times Free seemed to force the issue and it's not often you see him take bad shots. Julian looked really aggressive today and I feel his post play is coming along great .. loved the hook shot. The chemistry looks good and the boy's are becoming more of a force down low - Sims can become a shot block machine and has good body control .. he appears to be getting into the flow on "O" as well which is a good thing - I know he's very capable and should break out soon .. Hollis has impressed and I guess that break out game has done wonders for his confidence.. many of his shots went in and out .. CLARK .. he is a special player and I see great things from this kid .. he looks so calm out there and is a force on the defensive end as well... Monroe .. RIGHT HAND BIG FELLA! .. he did damage down low and looks to call for the ball now .. he's becoming more aggressive on the block and we'll need that .. over-all .. I liked what I saw tonight regardless of the opponent .. if we continue to play team ball - reduce T.O and rebound - this team has alot of potential...

They also Tried to Pry LUBICK while commited to the Hoyas and have done this with many recruits (Not only Rivers) .. listen .. I have no problem with Duke fans coming over here to discuss B-Ball / Recruits ect .. but for most part , your fan base is rather annoying and arrogant .. no disrespect to you at all .. but it seems like most dookies are over sensitive when it comes to GU not sure why ... You guys have won a fair amount of recruiting battles over many teams including the Hoyas - Hairston .. Thornton .. Kelly and to certain extent Dawkins .. but if you look at the options we landed in place of them , we got the better deal (LUBICK , STARKS , THOMPSON and the jury is still out on Roscoe) I like our chances with Roscoe ... I just feel the thought of being a 2nd or 3rd option for UNC may cause him to have a chip on his shoulder to the point where Duke may be the choice when its all said and done (even though he was a back-up plan for the DEVILS as well - regardless of what your fans say) .. we offer much more to Roscoe as far as PT.. chance to stay Local .. education .. and most of all guaranteed developement and preperation for the league .. we've been Loyal to him since his soph yr in H.S and never made him feel his 'ship was two-sided .. Coach K is the master of recruiting over prospects (Miller 2011) and many players waste yrs riding pine over the yrs .. to each his own .. If you land Roscoe - Good for you ... if land Roscoe Good for us .. either way I'll support the kids choice and wish him well ... with that said - do me a favor and let the internet thugs over on the DUKE rival site know I SAID HELLO!

BAN Him ... I just got banned after being verbally assaulted by Duke fans on the Rival site and I didn't do anything to deserve it .. all I did was defend myself and my Team .. DUCK fans are to sensitive and act like their players on the court "SOFT" ... Go flop somewhere or practice slapping the floor .. better yet - go burn a bone with Mr. singler .. fruit loop! Sorry in advance Mods..

Chris will make a believer out of all these haters ... STAY FOCUSED CW - we're behind you .. also .. Markel Starks is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy under-rated for the 2010 class and is a top 10 PG as well .. at the end of the day these rankings don't mean much and I'm excited for both our recruits to get to the Hilltop and prove this theory right .. NO disrespect intended - But I'm tired of all the negativity around here lately .. THE HOYAS WILL BE FINE!

LIC .. ITS BEEN REPORTED ON NUMEROUS SITES that he has indeed sent his LOI in to GU ... still not confirmed by the University .. but I'm sure its a done deal ... we should be hearing something soon.. You should still be celebrating our win to kick off the season .. we will be ok and I think this team can be special once we get rolling ..

Sanford is wide open.
Sanford scored 28 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out five assists in Lexington Catholic's opening round game against Bowling Green.
"Right now I'm getting recruited by Georgetown University, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Marquette, Kansas State, Baylor, UNC-Charlotte, Wyoming, Oklahoma State, St. Louis, Bradley, Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth," Sanford said. "I'm also on Kentucky's radar."
Sanford has four official visits left. Right now he's wide open.
"Right now I'm open," Sanford said. "I have to take some visits. I have four more left, so right now I don't have a front runner."

I will be there brother .. I went to the last meeting with the johnnies and couldn't go to cafe31 due to the denial I was dealing with .. but I've recovered some what .. ... that loss still haunts me ... and caused us to have this 2pm game .. but hey .. maybe its better we play early ... timing is also brutal for me FHILLS .. but I will be there .. most likey by 12:00 ... pre-game drinks will hopefully calm my nerves ... CAFE31 is our home!

I would think Henry knew coming in that his PT would depend on how he performed in practice and My though is he didnt have the offense in full grip , but came along during the season ... it would be terrible if we lost him (being a local) , but I think he likes being here and is aware he is capable of getting run if he works on his game .. Henry's problem is he wants to sit outside and shoot three's .. he's more of a face-up big .... he has to realize that with his height , he needs to focus on mixing it up alittle as well .. thats what will make him an all-around player .. I think the future is bright for Henry .. I don't see why he'd leave ... sit-out a yr and start all over ... all he has to do is work non-stop this summer and come in next yr with the attitude like "THIS IS MY TIME TO SHOW WHAT I'M MADE OF" but what do I know?

MEMPHIS WOULD MAKE ROOM:
Robert Dozier-Sr. Antonio Anderson- Sr. Chance McGrady- Sr. Jeff Robinson- Transfer Shawn Taggert- Maybe Go Pro Tyreke Evans- Maybe going Pro Angel Gracia- Not sure his situation.. he didn't qualify and seems like he will be back next year Matt Simpkins- Was suspended but not sure if he is coming back
So that's 8 possible scholarships
