    Im astounded anyone wants Tubby

    This is my line of thinking as well. I can't speak for whether Pastner is a good guy or not, but given the significant number of transfers Memphis has had under his watch the last few years, it wouldn't be difficult to come to the conclusion that a lot of kids didn't enjoy playing for him. Tubby...

    Remember Jay Bilas insisted for months Okafor should be the #1 pick

    This would be my take as well. I give Towns credit for overtaking Okafor as the top player in last year's draft when Okafor was thought to be the consensus top pick for some time. And I give him credit for continuing to prove he deserved to be the #1 overall player. Terrific rookie season which...

    Kobe...Am I alone?

    Kobe was also hurt the last couple of years. He tore his achilles three years ago and dealt with all sorts of injuries which kept him out basically all of 2013-2014 and half of last season. I don't think anybody was expecting him to be very good this year being older and coming off serious...

    So Arizona has 4 five star SG's

    "Arizona and Sean Miller are ruining college basketball."- Carolina fans On a serious note, I imagine Ray Smith will play a little bit of small ball four, but between him, Trier, Alkins, Simmons (he'll play a lot of point though) and now Ferguson, that's a lot of highly touted wings on one team...

    UNCheaters and Terrance Ferguson

    It's bitterness since the one and done recruits don't choose to go there. Last one and done at Carolina was Brandan Wright back in 2008. Turning Harrison Barnes into a two year guy may have helped Roy in the short term, but it didn't help his long-term outlook with those type of recruits...

    Wall Frustrated in Washington.

    Yeah. I grew up not too far from Washington. They were God awful in their last years as the Bullets and then first few Wizards years. They've gotten a lot better as I've gotten older age wise, but still haven't really done anything of note (not even an Eastern Conference Finals appearance)...

    Bigger NBA Storyline Tonight... Kobe's Last Game or Warriors 73 Wins?

    Even though I'm a Laker fan, I'll say the Warriors. They can break the 96 Bulls record of 72 wins. But I'll obviously watch the Lakers since it's Kobe's last game. Although I'll be glad he's moving on since it's time and IMO his retirement is taking away developmental time away from younger players.

    Memphis with heavy interest...

    I agree just because Tubby is a solid coach and a good guy who the players would like, which are two things you couldn't say for Pastner. But as has been stated, he'd need to get some assistants who could help recruit for him.

    Result of Thornton transferring

    No team should be anointed champions a year away from the tournament. Not to be rude and bring up a bad memory, but the 2015 Kentucky team is proof of that. Throw in 1991 UNLV and 1999 Duke among other teams that were favorites but didn't take home the crown. This Duke team may be the...

    UK Villain you want to punch(excluding Laettner.

    I'd join in on this one. Wisconsin fans might want to get him first :p

    IU's Troy Williams to test the draft

    Smart move on his part. Why not go to the combine, work out, get feedback and go from there when the option to go back is there? He'll know where he stands and most importantly, what he needs to work on. Before anyone asks, I think Grayson Allen should have done this even if he was going to come...

    Result of Thornton transferring

    I'd also say Matt could guard twos. Basically bigger wings whether they play the two or the three. Asking him to guard quicker point guards is not his forte. With Tatum, I'd add on a little bit of small ball four at times.

    Result of Thornton transferring

    He said in a statement that he wants to transfer closer to home. I'd say somewhere in the Pac-12, UNLV or Texas seem to be his most likely destinations. As far as Duke only having four guards go, I wouldn't put too much stock into that. They did alright having three guards on the 2010 team in...

    Stud Wing Josh Jackson Announcing Today. Where's he Headed?

    Thought they were pretty much out of it after getting both Simmons and Alkins. Plus Allonzo Trier is coming back and they still have Ray Smith coming off a torn ACL.

    Anyone know if Chase Jeter...

    QUOTE="jrpross, post: 4376505, member: 7400"]I still don't get that. K has always favored smaller lineups but Carter & Bamba are both pure centers. I find it hard to believe they'll get both. I hear you on K favoring the smaller lineup and I'm not going to guarantee Duke gets both or even one...
