Agreed. When the Squid is promising kids they'll be lottery picks after one year at Kentucky, can't we at least tell recruits they'll start??

One of those things a coach has explicit control over and can be held accountable for. No college coach can put a gun to a GM's head, so it's technically not his fault if a kid isn't a lottery pick. The coach does dole out PT and can be held culpable if he pulls back on a previous promise.

The official twitter account for Monster headphones happens to be a Wisconsin fan. Hmmm. Nothing shady about this tweet to Diamond.

It's either a Wisconsin fan who tweeted from the wrong account, someone who knows Stone is from Wisconsin and UW is a favorite.

Hmmn, I sense a charity event....

I can't bring back that kid from 35-40 years ago so it will have to due as is. So only if it's KML (similar builds, height advantage I will need), no Stewie or Moriah lol. This should stir the pot huh?:oops:
 
Mau you wouldn't stand a chance. I'm in for a hundy to charity if this can be worked out. We'll even give you the advantage of using a regulation ball.

Nah you're right she can take me way too far out. We'd be matching 20 footers but she could drive it on me and I wouldn't want to go on her for the sake of having my achilles scroll up by my knee. I give.........would have whipped her in HS/college days though ;)

I concede at 55, no shot! Love charities but being in a leg cast for 6-8 months after getting whipped by a young lady would probably piss my boss off - not sure which one would be worst the cast or who beat me down?

There is no shame in losing to KML. Heck we could use her 3 pt shooting on the men's team. And I think I'd prefer Moriah to SCjr to back up the point

Mau,
You just saved yourself from being the new Bobby Riggs!

Larger ball and no 3 pt set shots which would be blocked every time. Doubtful she (or any women) would help a good men's HS team never mind a high level men's college team. Not a knock on KML just two different worlds. Chris Evert said it best when asked in her prime how would she do on the men's circuit? "I would never qualify for a tournament"
 
An AAU top team, no. A space on a typical high school team, yes. Big difference in Evert not making a pro men's tournament and Stewie not making a regular high school team. They would make adjustments. You think Billy Jean could beat an old pro but couldn't beat anyone on a high school team?
They wouldn't be stars. The men's game is way above the women's. But they are better than you think.

No he's right. A good HS team even from CT would give the Husky women absolute fits. I already saw Maloney play this year and their speed is ridiculous compared to the women. And they are about the same size with skill inn each spot. Would they blow them out? Not necessarily but they would beat them 9 of 10 at least. An AAU team with all star types would beat them by 30-40 wit the size they would bring to the table.

The biggest difference is leaping ability. In my mind I can still elevate, in reality not so much. Well that and I don't really spend as much energy on defense, and my stamina isn't what it once was, and reflexes are slower...ah crap, I gotta stop before I get more depressed.

Sorry David misread as I was in a hurry to go get my driveway done. yes Stewie could make it on a "regular" HS team but that would be about it for the women. Mariah is fast enough but to small - she's a maybe although passing the ball would be a chore for her. But you are correct Stewie is a yes.
 
This women hoops talk is just to make Diamond want to come here and take Breanna to the hoop and slam! Strategy 99
 
what I said earlier was tongue in cheek. I didn't expect it to turn into a debate about if women can play in the men's game. I do know they can play with the men's balls
