As a fan of Luke Meyer, I'll admit I'm not that disappointed in Antwan Alexander being released. Meyer has a much better chance at seeing the floor now.

Vouyoukas @ Euro U20 Championships, Game 3
3star_recruit replied to Quality Is Job 1's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
Because he's reportedly a tenacious defender, I expect Newborne to get more minutes at the three than IO. Unless JJ does something impressive to get out of Brad's doghouse, he won't get more than 6-7 minutes a game. If I was JJ, I would be running like my life depended on it in transition so Polk could find me for an easy bucket. -

I think Newborne will take Sloan's minutes and Vouyoukas will take Varner's mniutes. -
Tommie L. dropped 33 on day one of the Big Time
3star_recruit replied to 3star_recruit's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
Judging by the bad word of mouth I'm hearing about this movie, we may have another "Red Sonja" on our hands, which also butchered a classic fantasy heroine by emphasizing skin over an entertaining story. That's Hollywood for ya. At least they did a good job with X-Men and Spider-Man. -

Paris had the "bad girl" rep waaaay before the video came out. -

That's why I put "good girl" in quotes. It's all relative. Christina Aguilera a good girl compared to Paris. -

I was thrown off by the Paris Hilton analogy as well. It doesn't get much sluttier than Paris. I would have used a "good girl" like Kirsten Dunst for SLU and Paris for UNLV. -
Ian Vouyoukas scores 13 points, grabs 9 boards

Got me. Looks like the big fella threw one down, against a team playing Mizzou-like defense. Check out the third pic. http://www.basketu20men.com/index.php?Foto=13 -

Well, if the coach wants to finish with older players when the young guy is already doing the job, that's his problem. Nice to see Ian get off to a good start. -
A couple of 100-150 RPI teams would be a nice way to get Polk's feet wet. Wouldn't want to start off with Gonzaga, for example.

You mean the Darrell Jackson situation?

I really am curious now -- what does Tommie want? I'm not interested in what Ricky Lewis or his parents want -- what does Tommie want? If the staff can't even get an answer to that simple question, they can't continue to deal with Tommie without wondering if he'll flip flop on them again.

"Know your place, you don't play on the same level as Marquette." Thanks, "Rock", but we're not really trying to smell what you're cooking.

They'll be fine despite the smugness of some of their fans. Their current recruiting class is killer.
-
Ultimately, it doesn't matter what Tommie's father says or does. It's not Tommie's father that is the problem. It's Tommie's word that is no longer trustworthy because he put his faith in a street agent and a mess ensued.
-
Your logic is sound but it doesn't include the most crucial piece of information: that Brad has said on at least two occasions that he intends to "lean on" Polk and considers Drejaj a two-guard.

Can't argue with that. Adonal Foyle went to Colgate, Ervin Johnson went to the University of New Orleans, etc.

It happens more often than one would think - these are just off the top of my head. All of them play/played in the midwest and none of them were McDonald's All-Americans. They are just very good basketball players. Charles Richardson - Nebraska Andrew Lavender - Oklahoma Timmy Smith - East Tennessee St Patrick Sparks - Western Kentucky (now at Kentucky) Cordell Henry - Marquette

I've only seen Cusworth play in high school, and he was 6'11 215 lb then. He was more offensivley skilled and ran the floor better than Ted Morris, who secured a scholarship from Indiana St. If Cusworth really is 35 lb heaver but has maintained his athleticism, he would be following in the footsteps of Robert Archibald, who did the same thing at Illinois. There aren't many 6'11/7'0 guys with decent skills and athleticism that are playing college ball.

vegas story admits they called tommie

This "we were just returning his phone call" stuff sounds so much like the Jason Conley recruitment it's not even funny. -
Three Rivers CC has a 6'9 banger
3star_recruit replied to 3star_recruit's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
I'm sure the staff is aware of every D-1 prospect in Missouri. Considering the shortage of academically qualified 6'9 bangers in our own backyard, he's gotta get a look at some point. Heck, even D-2 big men like Paul Bannister get a look. -
Three Rivers CC has a 6'9 banger
3star_recruit replied to 3star_recruit's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
Tseug, Afraid not. Thicks, Sorry, here's an excerpt dating back from December. Zoric is in the 2005 class: "The most promising prospect of the bunch might be Danijel Zoric. Zoric stands at 6-9 and weighs in at 235-pounds. This guy has a ton of potential, and is just beginning to turn it on. Zoric is a physical banger in the post. He is a very hard worker. His touch is very soft and he can hit the 12-foot jumper. He is averaging 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game. However, he went off for 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 blocks against #6 Southeastern (IL) CC in his coming out party. Before this game he had not seen much action. With his strong showings in recent games, expect him to be a regular in the Raiders line-up." -
You are a brave man. If you said some of the stuff in Tommie's presence that you say on the board, I'm sure the young man would slug you. :-)
