[CallMeBruce]

Diallo rose up to #8 in the class of '17 by 24/7. Also now #15 in the composite

Rose again, now #10 in composite.

That name I recognize.

Wait. Isn't Bard in Annandale? As in "I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes, When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale" in "My Old School?" LIve and learn -- I never made that connection.

It's in Annandale-on-Hudson near Red Hook. It's a pretty little campus overlooking the Hudson.

It's entirely populated with flakes, however.

Crap. Time to break out the Chicken Marsala and wait to be Kasongoed.

Kasongoed.

This BY meme can never die. God that was a truly epic sequence of events.

Where did he end up again? I remember he started at Oregon but got kicked out before the season started

 

[djct1999]

That school in Siberia thinks they are going to get him.

They couldn't even get him to attend that "beloved" elite camp of their. They are not only late to this party but the have literally nothing to offer. Sad state of affairs up there in Siberia.

He's committed to Tennessee for the coming year. Of course, that could change without any notice.

Trivia contest (honor code: who knows without looking it up): What famous rock stars went to school at Bard College?

Rikki is a real person I know

Beastie Boys. I knew that one.

Some times, I think one would need to play six degrees of Kevin Bacon just to get some of these recruiting threads back to the recruit the thread was ostensibly started for.

Does this count.
I knew someone who almost hit him with her car as he stepped out onto the road without looking. Then she met him at a party. He said she looked familiar but couldn't place her. She didn't dare let him know she was the person who was giving him the finger a few hours earlier.

Sounds like a story worth hearing.

And does it involve Slow Hand Row?

Not too shabby at all. A bit shy of the 17ft claim, but really good nonetheless.

 

[CTBasketball]

How many Hilton units is that?

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Gotta stand up at the top. Clearly not a D1 athlete. 8/10 coaches would not recruit

True story...Freshman year my buddy and I are driving towards Gampel for Midnight Madness and he goes to make a left into the school of business parking lot. There was a bus across from us making a left to go between Gampel and the Coop and for some reason my friend was focused more on that whilst he was driving right towards a guy and 2 girls in the crosswalk between the grad dorms and the school of business building. I yell out "people, stop!" and he slams on the breaks. Sure enough, Hilton Armstrong is standing there with his arms wide open (killer Creed reference) and proceeds to wrap them around the car in anger.

I swear only one part is exaggerated, but my quick yelling may have helped us win a title in 04. Hilton, if you are on this board and remember that, give me a thumbs up.

He does hit the 50 inch or 4ft+ claim relatively easily though.

True story: I saw Drummond jump onto a moving party bus while walking up that road towards Charter Oak/Busby during the first weekend after he committed. At that moment I knew he was enjoying his freshman year a little too much.

Im taking this kid over anyone "ranked" ahead of him...Top notch

WANT.

You can't teach length and athleticism.

The kid's got plenty of tools. They just need to be molded.

That's a short list, since his composite ranking is now #10.
