Terms of the purchase were 30K up front, and the balance within the next 15 days. So essentially he had to come up with 100K as an amateur.

Agree on banking them over reaching for 3-star guys. We're going to have a pretty good, experienced nucleus coming out of the Dark Year. Olander's going to get all the mins. he can handle. Smith should be a valuable guy on def., Daniels/Boatright/Calhoun should have blossomed, and hopefully...

Would Oriakhi not get 30 mins a game with Duke, as they're presently constructed? I've heard Parker's ticketed for UCLA. Two good years + NC > one bad year + unhappy transfer.

Omar's (still) coming, yo!

Syracuse seems unlikely with Melo already there, and Dajuan Coleman coming in. But you could say the same about AO and Drummond possibly? UK would be disgusting. I mean, really, really, gross.

Looks like a goof.

Hope Zagoria has LifeLock...

Underhand lob?

K is a good basketball coach, and a great brand-builder. A successful team of white guys and "safe" black guys is going to resonate a lot more with middle America than an all-black or close to all-black team. And it's worked. Maybe it's been detrimental to not go after a 4-star beast in the...

Maine 86, UConn 4 DOOMED.

Boatright will be able to get the equivalent of "time served", correct?

Then why do I hate Pitt, hmmm????

Two words: Pete Gaudet. .

NOT A DIME BACK.

I don't understand this at all. He might be stuck behind Kidd-Gilchrist if the NBA goes to 2-and-done. Why not wait until the late period?

Lunardi fills out a bracket like my nana.

Grantland is capable of putting out some good articles. They have in the past. There's no reason to dismiss all content from site X just because 80% of the content is crap. But this preview is under-researched, factually flawed, cursory nonsense. And in that regard he doesn't give short shrift...

How can Connecticut be the most overrated team in the league if we're a consensus #3-4 team in the nation, and he thinks we're in the Top 10, just not better than Syracuse. So in the BE we'd be 3rd? Odd. And his analysis is just plain lazy. If his conclusions are anti-Connecticut, fine, but he...

Syracuse write-up: mentions 0 Syracuse players. UConn write-up: mentions 1 UConn player. Marquette write-up: mentions 2 Marquette players. Cincinnati write-up: mentions 1 player. Pitt write-up: mentions 1 player. Five BE players total: Gates, Gibbs, Crowder were all mentioned in passing. Only...

Wikipedia says they won it in 1960. Dunno what defines a "blueblood." Does it even matter? UCLA is blueblood-y, and I wouldn't want to switch places with them. Maybe we're the nouveau riche to their blueblood....

Definitely.

KO has been invaluable on the recruiting trail. I hope he's around for a long, long time.

I think it's going to be a pretty fluid situation, and their minutes are going to be based on matchups, game situation, hot hand, etc. No real sense in saying one should start over another.

It could always be worse... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vekeExMo1d0

We may very well have the same frontcourt next year if the NBA hammers out a 2-and-done rule, as they're expected to do. I wouldn't blame McGary for wanting to jump into that either. As far as bigs go, I think the priority needs to be on 2013, esp. NN.

2012 getting a bit hairy for Duke. They have two targets left, Parker and Muhammad, and neither is anywhere near a lock. There are no more Plumlees, right?

How did Allen look?

Nate Miles.

Daniels' offense may be needed more with #15 gone. That's my guess.

From everything I've heard, it sounds like it's going to be 2 years. The owners want it, and the union doesn't really care. I guess it could get bargained away, but it doesn't seem likely.

Bonus difficulty points for nabbing a kid out of New England. Of course the Arizona girls/weather doesn't hurt I guess...

Watched about 15 minutes of practice in '04 betw. BET and NCAAT. Before being thrown out. It was awesome.

Good thing Rumrunner's not on the team...
