Wemby is arriving at the most "must see" thing in sports since Tiger exploded on the scene. Been watching basketball for 35 years and I have no idea what the hell I just watched tonight.

I saw him once in IKEA in New Haven. He's maybe 6'5. I'm 6'8 and was surprised at how much taller I was than him.

He was #2 in his original class but reclassified so late that I don't think recruiting services really gave his new ranking much thought. IIRC he was in the 8-12 range after his reclass, but the services pretty much threw ish at the wall.

That Metro North trip is going to suck. Might need to get on an 8 AM train.

Willoughby's on the shoreline is $19+ a lb now. Plenty are $22-25, granted their prices have been skyrocketing for a while now. I swear they were $13/lb 2-3 years ago.

Okafor averaged 16 & 11 his sophomore year. He refined his offensive game a bit for his final season, but he was an incredible player as a sophomore too. Okafor was simply a better scorer, rebounder, and shot blocker. This thread should be titled "After Okafor, who was our best center?".

I don't think he would have lasted a week under Calhoun. I played with and against Fluff for ages. My man is a gunner's gunner with no regard for defense.

Gotta throw Tim Abromaitis out there. Better player than quite a few already mentioned. Knew he was a diamond in the rough/sleeper.

I think Ewing is properly rated. If anything, history is forgetting him. His knees were pretty much toast by the time he hit 30. He also had by far the worst supporting casts of any of the 90s stars. He's always rated below Hakeem, Shaq, and the Admiral and often not mentioned in the same...

Reggie Miller is always the first one that comes to mind.

I doubt I'll have much time to play this whenever it comes out, but College Hoops 2K8 is my favorite game ever. It was ahead of it's time in so many areas. The legacy/dynasty mode is still more impressive than anything out there today.

I misread. Thought you were talking about the dad looking for resources.

In this day and age I'd tell someone to go to social media and watch a bunch of videos from the top guys. There are YouTube channels with a bunch of content from college and NBA coaches and as well as the skill trainers who work with NBA guys in the summer. You can find everything from drills...

In the US college football is head and shoulders above any other sport. Penn State at night, et al are worth watching just for the atmosphere. That handful of top venues.

Tough to think of a place better than MSG.
