people talking about "higher" goes right through me.
higher can only be the top 35--> after that its not that difficult to be on the cusp of breaking in there.
05-10 we were right there.
The "higher" schools basically look for the homerun NBA 1st rounder.

Tristan Thompson alone is a better bigman then anyone PC has rolled out there in 20 years. I think his name alone gives credence to DH. Hurley has coached NBA talent, not guys fighting for a job, but guys teams are actually fighting for. Odom is our only guy like that in a long time.
