You used capital letters! :lol:

Kemba Walker is going to shoot fire this season. This is the year he truly breaks out.

well if i didn't do it then either manhatten project or mags would ... so i saved them the 3 seconds.

knicks will have a draft pick between 14-22 so we all have a reason to watch this year.

Kemba Walker ftw! UCONN all the way!

Barnes FTW !

i think kemba walker could be an ideal target but he doesn't fit into d'antoni's idea of a pg ... the knicks already have a scoring guard learning the point in douglas.

i think the knicks should focus on a scoring forward because i doubt chandler will be re-signed.

I think we will have a better scoring forward on our radar around that time. :wink:

The Freshmen: Oh man as usual, what a group.

Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones, Kyrie Irving, Brandon Knight, Enes Kanter, Fab Melo, Josh Selby, Jared Sullinger, C.J. Leslie, Terrence Jones, Jereme Richmond, Adreian Payne.

It's going to be a joy to watch these players.

Tonight: Looking to see if Jordan Hamilton can take that next step forward.

2011 should be a deep draft, hopefully a lot of the freshman and morons are enter the draft.

Don't forget to add about 4-6 international players that should go in the first round. This draft looks real good at the moment, big boom/bust draft. The Lithuanian towers, Vesely, The Jeremy Tyler enigma, Bogdanovic and the usual 1-2 late bloomers.

Change the title to College Basketball thread, make it look pretty to.

Spartans once again have a great team this year. They finally added a great athlete inside (Payne) and another stud guard (Appling) for Izzo to work with...

As a Uconn fan I have a feeling that I'm in for a LONG year with our lack of a front court.

Future loks decent though. Ryan Boatright should be coming next year, and who knows maybe we get Andre Drummond!!

It will be interesting watching the young guys. I'm interested in Roscoe, Lamb and Napier. Walker has to elevate his game and Oriaki need to man up and play like the huge player he is.

Illinois is gonna be really really good this year. McCamey is one of the best point guards in the country, Davis and Tisdale are a big time frontcourt (even though they need to play inside a bit more) and they got a bunch of other nice pieces too.

St. John’s looks like it may be turning the corner this year. It’s been a long decade for them as well.

ahaha ya idk how confident i am in nova this year.. once scottie came back to earth the team completely fell apart and who knows if fisher can take his role this year.. still a deep/talented team though and maalik wayns should break out.. mouph and cheek are gonna be question marks to say the least.. pena will be solid as he was last year.. losing taylor king is a major subtraction (as frustrating as his chucking was, he had great upside)..

we will see

I was wondering what happened to Nova, now it makes sense.

Post #19 » by **GONYK** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 1:59 am

NEVER DOUBT NOVA!!!!!!!!! We are going to be fine this year. Jay Wright will have that team ready.

Last year's tourney collapse had a lot to do with friction in the locker room. Scottie and Fisher had some real issues going in to the Big East tourney. It never really got resolved and it kind of threw the team off. That is obviously gone now.

Losing Taylor King isn't as bad as you think, because he was an idiot. It's like losing Harrington, but a lazy, arrogant Harrington. He also failed a drug test that he knew was happening. So f*ck him.

Also, can someone please make me a Nova sig? I am an idiot with photoshop

Meaning the poster, but yeah Villanova is always going to be fine as long as Wright is at the helm.
