  1. of course not! It must be worn properly.
  2. I read on the board here in one of the tweet pages "he's 20 years old and playing against High Schoolers, no wonder he's good." If that's true, it's certainly worth considering.
  3. The only players left may be the complainers. Not exactly encouraging for a new coach. edit... oops, I mixed up Cincore for Simon.
  4. Hey, buddy, great timing huh? And I got that all off my Magic 8 Ball that I picked up at Good Will the other day. well, technically, she resigned.
  5. Maybe Daddy and Mommy were right about Yori?
  6. I copy and pasted the bottom partially hidden line. I don't know if there is anything under that. Badgers, Army West Point, Elon Phoenix, Charlotte 49ers, St John's Red Storm, William & Mary Tribe
  7. I'm pretty sure the game starts at 6:00 p.m. CST
  8. If I recall, I thought I remembered that his family is very set on their son getting a college degree, but maybe I'm just making that up. This is his 4th year in college. He'll likely graduate this year.
  9. I hole-hardedly agree. I would have also had the players just fake the shots that were blocked and pass to the open guy for an easy lay up. That would have been good for at least 26 more points.
  10. it reminded me of this ...
  11. stupid ref...
  12. Virtually every response was in disagreement with the original poster.
  13. YORK, Pa. – Looking back, Al Hmiel can see that he was a “slimeball.” A liar. A cheat. A University of Cincinnati basketball coach committed to landing recruits and keeping them eligible through any available means. He looks back with loathing. “I questioned my integrity, where my life was going, 'cause I was living a lie,” Hmiel said. “I felt like I was a pimp or prostitute myself, selling myself for the University of Cincinnati to bring players in, and looking at moms and dads and flat-out lying. And lying to kids. And lying to their coaches, to their girlfriends or whoever was their key adviser, saying the right things that they wanted to hear. “The truth sometimes hurts, so you didn’t tell the truth as a recruiter. You lied. ‘Trust me, I’m lying,’ was almost my motto.” For most of his life, and in some cases for 40 years, Hmiel carried a guilty conscience and a stash of secrets arguably more damning than the infractions that earned Cincinnati a two-year NCAA probation in 1978. He admits to taking tests for prized players to keep them eligible, to steering players who were no longer wanted to hard classes in the hope they’d flunk out, to plying high school recruits with alcohol and cash, to faking Julius Erving’s signature on recruiting correspondence, to placing late-night collect calls to recruits in the name of rival coaches, to behaving, by his own admission, like a "slimeball," a "low-life crumb," “a snake in the grass.” (snip) Some of the ethical corners Hmiel cut are almost comical. Having procured some stationary from the (then) New York Nets, Hmiel wrote several recruits recommending that they choose Cincinnati and signed the note as “Dr. J,” for Julius Erving. If Cincinnati was competing with Indiana or North Carolina for a recruit, Hmiel might place a collect call to the player’s home in the middle of the night and say it was from coach Bobby Knight or Dean Smith. When he wearied of imposing on Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson to contact recruits, Hmiel says he would ask fellow assistant coach Mike Brown to place the calls and impersonate the Bearcats’ iconic “Big O.” (the complete article at..... http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/tim-sullivan/2015/12/24/confessions-college-hoops-slimeball/77318732/
  14. that feeling when...you worry about hitting your head on the backboard “It was a quick decision, and I was trying to decide what to do,” Roby said. “I decided to go with one hand. I started leaning. Our backboards are really, really low, and I thought I was going to hit my head on the backboard. I cocked my hand back, and it came out. It was going to be a big dunk, but I don’t know – too much excitement, I think.”
  15. AND a ginger.
  16. ABOUT OUR TEAM RANKINGS Scout.com team basketball recruiting rankings are based on the Quality,Quantity and Potential of players committed to that school. We consider only players who have made a Verbal commitment to that school. We include high school, prep school, junior college, and transfer players in our overall rankings. Quality: Maryland in 2002 was the first team in a long time to win the title without a McDonald's All-American on the roster. Translation: to win big you need the horses. Get one of our Top 25 players and we'll hand out the props. Quantity: It's definitely a factor but to score big points, Scout.com would like to see quality mixed in with the quantity. We'll take a smaller recruiting class with top talent over a larger, lesser talented class any day. Potential: One thing to consider when evaluating players is projecting room to grow. For instance, ask yourself a basic question: has player A peaked and maxed out his talent? Or is he a good player now who is on the upswing of his career? We evaluate a player's ability to max out his potential. What is his capacity for learning, growing within a college environment? What's his work ethic and overall drive? Final Rankings: Though all recruits from the school's recruiting class are listed, some recruits will not matriculate. The final team rankings take into account this attrition of players. ABOUT OUR PLAYER EVALUATIONS Scout.com's player evaluations are made by our team of Recruiting Experts, who are out and about at high school, traveling team and camp events scouring the nation for talent year-round. This thorough analysis of players has made our Top 100 lists the best in the business. It's that kind of attention to detail in evaluation that drives our team rankings. ABOUT OUR EXPERTS Scout.com's Recruiting Experts have made us the industry leader in recruiting coverage, player evaluation and rankings. Scout.com is serious about the business of basketball recruiting. Our national recruiting director Dave Telep spends months out of the year on the road and our staff sees the top players from every region of the country. Our staff is universally recognized as the most trusted source of recruiting information on the planet. http://www.scout.com/3/about-team-rankings-bb.html
  17. I think you're both right.
  18. How would Horne's play compare to BJ Day at the same age. They are physically about the same measurements aren't they?
  19. Well, the Men's category of Husker Hoops Central has more than ten times as many posts as the Woman's section, so that should give you a clue.
  20. Yup. Also if you're using Internet Explorer and paste in the link you might have to put your cursor on the pasted in content and then click the little unlink icon up top (or else paste in as plain text) IE strikes again. Thanks dimes
