No offense, but how did Roy run a dirty program? I assume this was what you are referring to. http://northcarolina.scout.com/2/396061.html This was graduation gifts given by 3 individuals given to a few players that had already graduated and KU's compliance department gave him the ok for.

Don't forget that both PJ Tucker and Lemarcus Aldridge were out for the 2nd half o the year for UT. They both were starting before they went down, so you can make an argument that Texas has 4 returning starters with Gibson, Buckman, Tucker, and Aldridge coming back. But their complete lack of proven depth could really bite them in the ass in the end. As for Kentucky, I've been hearing that Morris might end up with a 8 game suspension and will be allowed to return to UK. So you might want to get them early if you are going to get them. Thankfully UNC gets them in their 4th game.

2002: 23 homers 100 rbi's 2003: 33 homers 117 rbi's 2004: 23 homers 67 rbi's(missed 28 games and was injured most of the year) 2005: 28 homers 97 rbi's Average: 27 homers, 95.25 rbi's

Before you get ripped, Rowand doesn't have same value as Wells, not even close in my opinion. Vernon also plays gold glove defense while putting up around 30 100 each season.

Thanks alot guys, I never noticed that.

lol, thats not the problem, the problem is that I don't have access to the actual .swf file. Just the web address. Unless the program can somehow steal their file and I'm not aware of it, if thats the case then JACKPOT :-P.

For every Lebron, Amare, or KG, there's two Leon Smith, Desagna Diop, Korleone Young, Ousmanne Cisse, Taj McDavid, Ellis Richardson, Tony Key, DeAngelo Collins, Lenny Cooke, James Lang, Jackie Butler's. You can even include guys like Kendrick Perkins, Dorrell Wright, Robert Swift, Travis Outlaw, and Ndubi Ebi on the list of guys that didn't benefit their game from being drafted out of high school. Take a look at someone like Marvin Williams, he went from being the 14th pick of Seattle to being the 2nd pick in the draft with just one year of exposure at a high major. Carmello went from being a borderline lottery to being the 2nd pick in the draft with just one year. Also, comparing the War draft to the NBA draft is like comparing apples to oranges. One set of guys are being drafted to fight for our country and our way of life. The other group is being drafted into a business to play a game. You have to remember the NBA is a business, and if they think a higher draft age benefits their product, which in turn, makes them more money, while improving the impact of rookies and players in general, I can't argue with it. Guys are gonna make their money anyways, whether its overseas for a year until they can be drafted making hundred's of thousands to millions, or even developing their game in the NBDL. NBA talented guys can take out insurance like NFL prospects such as Matt Leinart and still live comfortably if they are injured. You have to protect the kids from themself(and their "advi$or$")

I would love to just be able to have the movie so I can decompile it and look at their code, the movement intrigues me also.

Bingo.

Might be old news. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=2221165 Good thing the NCAA focuses its time on such important issues...

I had always wondered how that was Godzilla's son and who it was with. But then again I'm just weird.

I was going to say the same thing, I watched all the Godzilla movies when I was young and that looks absolutely nothing like him. But still a cool discovery nonetheless. It still doesn't touch the Megalodon in my mind as the ancient creature that would have terrified me the most.

Welcome to the boards first of all. I'm one of the few rare college kids that doesn't get the magazine. Would you mind posting some snippets of the predictions? I actually like Villanova that high, the only two teams that I think should be ranked higher are Duke and Texas. Villanova has some great athletes, a great defensive center when he's healthy, and a unique style that causes alot of problems. As for the NBA age limit, its certainly better than nothing, but I would have liked to have seen a 20 year limit put in place. I can't complain though as its getting some guys to UNC and other schools like Ohio State that would have made the jump without it. The kids that are "forced" to attend college for one year will likely have some holes discovered in their game forcing them to attend school for 2-3 years.

Happy Birthday guys!

Just be glad you guys don't have the ever worthless Jason Williams and Antoine Walker. Not only do they not play defense, but their offense is far from consistent. :puke Heat had the perfect PG in Damon Jones, and let him go for White Chocalate and Employee Number 8,

Frasor is looking good, and not because Quentin Thomas looks bad. Quentin actually looks much better than last year, especially with his aggressiveness. But even with his improvements, Frasor has shown more intangibles to lead a team and has a great outside shot. He's certainly showing alot better than he did in the Mickey D's game, which wasn't his style of setting.

Dang, I just checked their roster and you are completely right. I forgot about who all they had returning. IF Bowers continued to develop over the offseason and can give 20 mins a game, I honestly think they can challenge Duke for the ACC title. He has always played well against Duke. Maryland is the only team in the ACC with enough size to match up with Duke. The ACC is at its worst possibly in history at the PG position, so Strawberry should be able to take advantage of that. Maryland returns 83% of their offense, and will likely have Strawberry, an elite defender, for more than half a season like last year. Maryland is another that I believe will end up in the top 10, great call there.

Texas should be on the list, over MSU in my opinion. Here's Texas' likely starting lineup... PG. Gibson, as good as it gets at the PG position in college basketball SG. Paulino, small at 6'1, but a senior, and is a great shooter all around SF. PJ Tucker PF. Brad Buckman C. Lemarcus Aldridge With Mike Williams a Mickey D's AA on the bench at PF, that might be the best frontcourt in the nation, combine it with possibly the best PG in the nation and you could have alot of success. Their main question is depth.

Good analysis, I'm not so confident in Tech as you are. Jarrius will be very good, but the season will likely depend on how much Martin Zeno worked on his game in the offseason, he's probably the only pro potential guy on the roster, and could be special. Also, I think you will see freshman somewhat unheralded recruit Dazzmond Thornton make a nice splash, I bet he will be matched up with Eric Williams if both teams advance that far. Also undersized PF/SF freshmen Dior Lowhorn will likely make a nice debut, he's a great athlete at 6-6 210. Also, I believe Kevin Swinton will be out for all the games... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/bask...orest.swint.ap/

I would have to go with an all Big 12 flavor. I think Oklahoma are the biggest pretenders, and Kansas who is unranked some places will end up with a solid, possibly sweet 16 team, they are loaded with freshmen and sophomore talent.

These are the only teams I would put above ND... 1. USC 2. Texas 3. Miami 4. Alabama 5. Ohio State Thats it for me, and this is coming from someone who will never be known as an ND homer. ND will be 9-2 heading into bowl season and will have one of the best offenses in the nation. Their only two losses were to two very good offensive teams in shootouts by a combined 6 points.

Thats when you need somebody like a Charles Oakley in the locker room that can take out the trash when needed...
