Courtside, I think you are right on about this. I think the only thing that saved Hughes last year was winning the conference tournament. Maybe that bought him more time than this year, but I would be suprised if survives the summer.

Just wanted to tell you I think you are doing a really nice job on the blog. I don't always agree with you, but you put a lot research into backing up your points. I would also like to apologize for assuming the worst when it game to the post situation. You don't have a track record of doing stuff like that and I should not have assumed that is what happened. For that I am sorry.

If we get MG and RA, Bryce would't have to do much for you on the offensive end. What I think he would bring on the defensive end would more than make up for what you lose on the offensive end. You could definitely use his size and shot blocking ability, he showed when he got minutes, when nobody else on the floor will be over 6'7".

Well that puts Peterson back in play.

Bryce showed me a lot last year. I think you are selling him short. I would like to see us dictate the match-ups out there for once. I think BH ends up starting, but I think he will probably get only 20-25 minutes a game. BH can have a big impact on the defensive end, he fills a lot of space.

back at you

I would predict the line-up would be KL, TL, RA, BH, and MG or LM. Bryce will be starting next year.

It was said that he was ready to commit to SLU months ago and then his uncle got involved. Maybe he will decide he made the right choice then. He would make this class a lot better by himself.

It would lead me to believe that it is now between the Illini and the Bills.

TDELL posted he would be out 6 months yesterday.

Did his eye pop out when making those comments. Stu that is not a smart statement and the saddest thing is you probably believe it. Here is Jason Whitlock's take on the whole Imus thing: http://washington.rivals.com/viewprospect....=2&pr_key=53222

I think think the committee did a terrible job this year. I still have a big problem with the team placements. I understand that Florida was the number one overall seed and thus was to be sent to the closet regional final site to them, but it didn't make sense not to break that rule this tear. Florida would have brought the same amount of fans no matter where they played this year. None of the sites was an easy drive for UF fans. They really screwed up with what could have been packed house with KU and SIU playing at the Ed.

I have never accused you of that. I have never said you had any kind of agenda. In fact I have defended you multiple times on here when it comes to this. Have I not? I just think your posts lately have tended to be for more negative lately. I thought this one was unnessesarly negative. I know you don't have an agenda when it comes to SLU.

I did not compare them as players. I did not say that have the same talent level. I used KL as an example of someone that flew under the radar because he did not play AAU ball. I agree with about not getting a alot from Mitchell right away. His game is raw and he really needs to work on his shot.

I did not see the other post that followed mine. I definitely understand your decision with that information. I thought it all seemed a little strange and not how you usually operate. I agree with you about the way the board has been going lately and some of my comments have probably not helped it. I will try to eliminate the bs and sh*t disturbing post on my part. I think a lot of people have been taking every thing on here just a tad too serious recently. Folks, it is an internet message board and nothing more. It should be a fun diversion from the suff we have to put up with all day.

Nate was is your deal lately on here? You have seen Mitchell play and you know Mitchell is not a ##### player. You know Mitchell did not get a lot of the attention he deserves because he did not play AAU and the fact he didn't blossom as a player truly till his senior year. You know that not playing AAU can cause a player to fly under the radar or have you already forgot about KL? I am not saying the kid is a five star player, but he has some game and will eventually be a contributor.

He makes a mistake in his blog and I am kind enough to point it out here with a post. He corrects the mistake and removes my post. I bet Brad wishes it was as easy to make his mistakes disappear.

Marcus had a lot of teams intrested in him. He was a 3 star on Scout. The lack of hype on Mitchell is explained by the fact he didn't play AAU ball. http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=86&p=8&c=1&nid=2167722 http://washington.rivals.com/viewprospect....=2&pr_key=53222

Brad's willingness to play to play the freshman is a legitmate fear. Also, if you haven't heard Dwight Howard always wanted to be a Billiken. It is all Brad's fault that he decided to go to the NBA. There is no excuse for Brad losing that kid. Five years and no werewolves. That says it all.

Nothing positive is allowed. If you post anything positive you are a Brad apologist. Face it this team sucks, is the only attitude that seems to be allowed.

I know the feeling. It has been a long day at work. Happy hour is just around the corner.:+

Hit anybody with a purse. Not very manly. I think Kevin is claiming it wasn't a purse, but rather a European man bag.
