Good golly folks what's not to like, I mean the kid was like 25 of 26 shooting in that video! Seriously, hard to know how good the competition is in the film and in the snippets shown how well he plays defense and runs the floor.

I am in Auckland right now getting ready to fly back home, and I can say New Zealand is amazing. Rugby DOMINATES the news (granted they are about to play the World Cup in England), but it is also clear the natives are huge other sports fans as well (they even have a sheep shearing champion). However, every native I spoke with knew little about local basketball although a few were familiar with the NBA (the Lakers and Knicks came up mostly). One guy in Auckland could name the entire Knicks starting lineup, but he had never even heard of Tai. By comparison, a few of the Aussies I met had heard of McVeigh. Considering everything I saw and what he has been through, I have a lot more respect for Tai.

I know not of which you speak... btw, thanks RD!

Sad day when a whole conference dies. Oh, wait. Celebrate? Be sad? Not sure ...

Hopefully she'll get to see more time on the basketball court than she's seeing on the volleyball court.

That's easy (for me): I told Tyron when he was here for his induction in the Nebraska Basketball HOF that it impressed me tremendously that day the other players walked out that he and Bernard Garner still showed up for practice. It spoke volumes about his character. This isn't necessarily a knock on the guys who walked out, but it took courage to go against the grain and defy the leaders on his team. As a true freshman, that took balls.

Not sure why we are wasting our time going up against a heavyweight like Incarnate Word. We need to recruit kids we can beat the out schools out for.

Well he has an offer from Incarnate Word so......
