    Collins/Revsine Interview

    I think you are going to see a lot of Ciravino, Windham, and Singleton. Also let’s not forget Phoenix Gill who is Kendall Gill’s son. He was Allstate first team on just about every team I saw.

    Who is the fifth best player on the roster?

    He probably is better but will he be on the floor at the same time as Nicholson. It is all a mute point anyway because you need depth if you want to win.

    Who is the fifth best player on the roster?

    I’m one of the guys who voted forAngelo Ciravano. He is Collins’ type of player. He was the Catholic league player on the year. He can play any position on the floor although in college it will probable be one through four. We saw him in some holiday deal up north and he made some absolutely...

    New OC

    I did a little research on Gronowski. He is from Naperville (Nequa Valley). We already have a young quarterback out of I believe Naperville North. We have had a lot of players from the Naperville area over recent years. He is majoring in Civil Engineering. I think it’s pretty obvious that if...

    Dewey defeats Truman?

    Just another example of how bad things are at what was once the “Worlds Greatest Newspaper”. I wonder how long this group will last with this shell of what was a great organization.

    Gragg (an new Pres) should seize the opportunity..but they won't

    I don’t recall saying that it is a revenue sport. By the way it is our national Pastime. I’m sure Dick Pepper would be extremely pleased if we dropped baseball. If you will recal he and family donated and built the stadium. I know they do a lot of work at the university but they get a lot of...

    Gragg (an new Pres) should seize the opportunity..but they won't

    The Ryan family donated 450 million dollars for the stadium. I doubt that Gragg talked Pat Ryan into the donation. Since when have women’s sports and Wrestling become become big revenue sports in the athletic department

    Gragg (an new Pres) should seize the opportunity..but they won't

    Baseball and basketball. the baseball coach who came from Illinois moved on along with a number of promising young players. The only thing I ever heard from him was the ultimatum to Collins to start winning or pack up. Do you guys really think Gragg will hire a new basketball coach who will...

    Gragg (an new Pres) should seize the opportunity..but they won't

    Have you ever given any thought to the fact that Gragg could be on his way out. In my opinion and that of a lot of others things have tanked since Jim Phillips left and Gragg was hired.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 13 Auburn

    A very good analysis of a had fought game. With Auburn using a 10 man rotation and pressing the who game we had a hard time getting into a half court offense. With us being forced into a seven man rotation it was difficult to get into an any kind of offense. I agree with everything you said...

    Takeaways: NU 66 LIB 52

    I think we’re fine with center position. We got 10 and 10 combine out of the two big guys. Nicholson looks good coming off those pick and rolls from the key. He is big and jams up the middle. All he needs is experience We are thin with Roper hurt and basically down to a seven man rotation...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Liberty

    I agree with all the above but let’s include the big men. We got 10 points and 10 rebounds in total from the two of them. I’ll take that any night especially when you take into consideration how these two guys clog up the middle. Now for a lesson or a session in free throw shooting for Nicholson.

    January 21st

    If someone could help me it would be appreciated. My computer for this site has popped out of the last read mode for the forums again. Is this because I have chosen not to join as a regular member. Thanks for your help as it is a problem to search for last read posts.

    Nance NIL

    This is a 2 parted response. I think nance was a very good player but in my mind a little soft. When our team went to the tournament our guys were tough. If you doubt that go back to the Michigan game and the Big Ten Tournament. Secondly, I have a problem with the site in that I cannot go...

    Nick Martinelli, I think.
