    The refs want UCLA to win because Jesica Alba and the UCLA cheerleaders.

    AP Preseason AA Team

    I think the reason Skal and Murray aren't on the list is because they are freshmen. Simmons is an exception; he has point guard skills and can jump out of the gym at his height, that's pretty rare. I don't think Wiltjer should be on the list due to his defense.

    Diallo not approved yet, where's Goodman?

    Ellis is the first Kansas player to have actually achieved tenure, ba-da-boom.

    Diallo not approved yet, where's Goodman?

    Actually, Ellis has been a fixture (no, literally ... a fixture) at power forward since the mid-1970s; actually, I can't remember a time he wasn't honing his 5-foot and in game in Lawrence. He is now a senior (citizen, that is).

    Giles announcing at Oak Hill (Virginia) and not in North Carolina

    Yes. It is a fluid situation. Each piece of information forces one to re-evaluate.

    Giles announcing at Oak Hill (Virginia) and not in North Carolina

    Yes. Wake Forrest is out. It is down to Duke vs. KY. Rule Cal out at your own peril.

    Coach cal

    Giles grew up in Winston Salem and loves it there. He feels a kinship with Danny Manning and sees a lot of himself in Danny. He also likes the fact that he can be "the man" at Wake and wants to follow in the footsteps trodden by Tim Duncan. He also wants to be the guy responsible for returning...

    Question about Maryland?

    The Harrisons were a good miss. They should have been 3-stars, and if they had gone to MD, they wouldn't have landed Trimble. One of them shot under 30% from the 3 point line and missed a big shot against Wisconsin, allowing Duke to win the title. Then, there was that epitaph at the news...

    UNC's whiffs

    They are very bad defensively and should get exposed. They is no possibility of getting a five star. Only a four star would mull an offer now. Funny thing is that when they hosted Brandon Robinson, Roy brought up possible sanctions and that basketball isn't impacted. Robinson never asked.

    Question about Maryland?

    Maryland has a very nice campus; Josh Jackson said: "It's a beautiful place" after his visit. Jackson also said he fell in love with the Xfinity center. It's close to DC with a lot of things to do. If you have ever been to the triangle area in North Carolina, you would see the difference. That...

    Cal/UK Being Out-recruited by An ACC School?

    My son went to microbiology camp at Duke this summer and wants to go there. Lots of smart kids and the campus was nice enough, but the area around the school is pretty rundown and poor. (Not trying to be a snob.) We went down to Cheat one day, and I hate to say it, but they had a significantly...

    Non-UK Players You've Admired

    My top choice would be Len Bias because the Celtics might have gone undefeated with him (or close to it). I used to play with a couple of guys every afternoon who turned into NBA all-stars. I used to play pickup with Byron Scott and Lafeyette "Fats" Lever. If I remember correctly, Byron got...

    What Maryland Player Would Start For UK? Which UNC Player Would?

    Melo Trimble is a great shooting point guard and gets to the rim all game long. Murray should be a stud at SG, I would take him over Sheed. Jake Layman at the three: a great athlete. Don't know about the 4: Either Poythress, Carter or Johnson Skal gets the nod over Diamond. Stone is a very good...

    With the dawn of the "like" feature, has arse kissing increased on this message board?

    If a troll gets up to 500 troll points, he should be unceremoniously banned (kind of like hitting an eject button or getting voted off of Rupp Rafters).
