CBSSports.com 2011-12 Dream Team,Coaching Staff,Recruits

[UConn Hoops1]

I have to say, as much as I love guys like Bilas,Raftery and, yes, even Gottlieb, CBSSports.com has put together some folks who are doing a stellar job of covering college hoops from soup to nuts so to speak. Their three times a week 30-40 minute podcasts(available at the site or from iTunes) are great; and the discussions are interesting, heated at times , and wide ranging as far as topics go. Now they've(Goodman,Parrish,Norlander and Borzello) put together their individual picks for a 2011-12 Dream Team including coaching staffs and potential recruits. While we wait for the Huskies to hit the floor again, this makes for some interesting and entertaining reading. Enjoy!!!

[Waquoit]

Notice that JC is unbeaten against these "Dream Team" head coach selections in the Final Four (4-0).

 

[Burnsbros23]

Matt Norlander's team is horrible.

 

[Gurleyman]

I have no idea what Norlander is thinking. Two point guards and three post players? Good luck with that. Whoever you dump the ball into, I'll run a big-to-big double at them and try to make those guys beat me as passers.

[Burnsbros23]

Avon and Stringer are the best Drug dealing characters in any Movie/show.

1. Omar (has to be #1)
2. Stringer Bell
3. McNulty
4. Freamon

[Rico444]

I'm a HUGE The Wire fan, but Gustavo Fring>>>>>>>>

This.

 

[Burnsbros23]

O wow... I did forget about him. What a debate we have going here way better than debating what the best lineup is.

Obviously Gustavo is known for his ability to fly under the radar and his longevity in the drug game.

However Avon and Stringer are the real deal. If Avon and Stringer didn't have the best detective in the world Jimmy McNulty after them they might still be doing it today.

 

[Rico444]

I actually still need to see The Wire.

 

[ClumsyLibrarian]

Jeff Goodman for the win

 

[61cygni]

CBS doing a stellar job? Parrish is the biggest in sports-writing.

 

[61cygni]

You mean the one with Ryan Boatright and Kevin Ollie?

Yea, the one without Lamb... lol

 

[HuskyBballFan]

I actually still need to see The Wire.

I think you can find the entire box set for a decent price these days on Amazon. Would make a great Christmas present.
