Vicente Ithier, Puerto Rico (+7):
Dogdeacon

I'm willing to hear a rebuttal to the Ithier ruling, but according to the U.S. Department of State, birth in the United States "means the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States."

See I kinda knew this was coming...
I humbly submit:
Is Puerto Rico* INSIDE the U.S.A.? I think no, its a territory outside the USA, hence its name/designation as an unincorporated territory. Just like Guam and American Samoa are clearly outside of the United States - I don't think anyone would argue the latter (Guam in middle of pacific, American Samoa South Pacific practically in Australia) two are inside the USA. So Puerto Rico is just cuz its closer?

I understand if you are born in Puerto Rico you are a US citizen, however individuals cannot vote for president and Puerto Rico itself cannot participate in our country as if it was a united STATE of America. So again in effect, that is akin to being 'outside' the united states. If it ever becomes a state then its inside.
I will abide by jfuchs final ruling or any ruling by kangaroo (for all we know kangaroos could be in American Samoa but not inside U.S.A.) court.

* In a related story UConn played the Puerto Rican national team either during or right after Vicente's UConn career in a pre-season exhibition. A drunken acquaintance (read dating a pretty girl in our group) of my group of friends was auditioning to be that season's Husky dog at this game. He ventured over to the Puerto Rican contingent at the game and after some seemingly playful miming borrowed their flag. He proceeded to wipe his Husky armpits with said flag. He was not that seasons Husky Dog and the girl dumped him.

Was going to go with BG - but he dallied with playing for the Britsh national team so I thought others might know his story and go with him. Next thought was Justin Brown - but figured he would come to people's minds as well since he had relatives on the old 'yard.

I came down to two choices - Gilad Katz and Enosch Wolf. My thought was that for the people who go with the recent German contingent, Giffey would be the choice of the reverse psychologists and Tolksdorf for the ones trying to go with the most obscure player, while Wolf might be in that in between area. Then for the Israelis - you had Sheffer/Henefekd on one side and Cohen-Mintz on the opposite obscure name list, with Katz in the more forgettable middle. I was on the right track - Marc Suhr would have normally been another good choice but he was the lone German from that era and stands out a little more.

I didn't feel comfortable with any of the African big men. They were all about the same skill level (other than Okafor, who was born in Texas and Thabeet, who seemed too obvious but was only picked by one person) so I didn't know which way the group think would go.

I totally thought I was going to be alone with BG. Stupid elephant like memories around here.

I thought I'd be alone too, but only because I thought people would shy away from an "obvious" choice like BenGo.

As an interesting exercise, which foreign born players did we miss? Souleymane off the top comes to mind. As Subba said, Doron. Ryan Thompson was another.

is League pass worth it? I can't decide if I would watch more basketball. I live in nyc, so I probably would.

There are 2 options for LP.
1) get all games for $200 (I think )
2) choose 1 teams games $100

Me and my roommates mainly order league pass to watch the Charlotte Hornets. We live in Wilmington and the state is so large, the local broadcasting doesn't span the whole state, so we don't get the games... We do get option 1 because we do watch a lot of basketball and participate in a fantasy league together, but it really is a great option to have. You get broadcasts of either team for each game, and there's always basketball on to watch. I would say that if you long for more basketball than what's given on nightly cable TV, it's worth a shot for a year. You get to watch a lot of the less marquee games which can be nice too. (I watched a lot of Denver games early to get looks at Mudiay).

Notes:
  • I did not specify which NCAA division in my question, and thus Jim Phelan (830 wins in D2) counts.
  • Bob Huggins does not qualify because 71 of his wins come from Walsh University, a school associated with the NAIA, not the NCAA.
  • Lou Henson was just one win behind tenth place Lute Olson.

Is the plan to string this along until first night?

It takes about 30-45 minutes for each post between compiling answers, formatting, etc. I'd love to have it done sooner, but it does take awhile, and the holiday weekend will be busy.

The current goal is to have it all completed by the Fourth of July. We can celebrate with fireworks.

Until then, the suspense remains.

Did anyone ever tell you what a great job you are doing running this?

Your story was indeed very amusing. But alas, I opted to side with the U.S. State Department in this matter.

I think Deng counts. He was on the official team roster. Just sat out the year. I thought about picking him or Justin Brown, but went with the middling role player instead of the obscure. In this case, I picked the wrong one (Jones over Mouring).
