Re: Bracketology - Its never too soon

i will be shocked if SLU does as well as people are predicting. losing majerus is a huge blow.

and i also will be shocked if St Joe's isnt higher than a 10 seed. they look to be very strong.

Re: '12 VA PF Ifeanyi Onyekaba (URI Roster Qualifier)

i read recently that the juco kid Orlando Sanchez that signed with St Johns is 24 years old. And though he only played 2 years of Juco the NCAA was going to give him only 1 year of eligibility at St Johns. Could be a similar situation as it didnt seem like he should be robbed of 2 years if not for s...

Re: Exhibition: Coast Guard Academy- November 2, 7:00pm

23% shooting and 19 turnovers are also great defensive stats we havent seen in some time

Re: Tempered Expectations

questioning the knowledge of a poster who cited the strength of Duquesne....they are going to be awful this season by all accounts. St Bonnies will fall back to the bottom and I do not have any confidence in Giannini at Lasalle regardless of how great of a backcourt they have.

Re: Tempered Expectations

i think high expectations for as early as next season are not wishful thinking. Gil Biruta will dominate A10 level competition, no doubt. All of our transfers were from BCS level schools, and I imagine all of them will be immediate contributors. Combine that with what should be a great recruiting cl...

Re: CBS Sports: Top 30 Freshman Most Likely to Make an Impac

I agree with Iggy that Hare will be up and down this year. His build and raw offensive game will lead him to struggle at times, but his athleticism and skill set will always show great promise for the future.

Re: Danny & Bobby play H.O.R.S.E

Preston must carry that torch from his days with Cat and Tyson....he had to put up points or else it would've been easy for him to get lost. Despite having two of our all time greats in the back court he still managed to be a vital cog of that elite 8 team. And I loved it when he wore the high socks...

Re: Danny & Bobby play H.O.R.S.E

the Hurleys should stick to their day jobs, clearly acting is not in the cards for them :) given the name value and brand of the Hurleys i would have opted for something a bit more sophisticated, they can sell themselves, the comedy/shtick was probably more needed for our former regime but i too app...

Re: Questions for Jimmy Baron?

You are the guy that was picking apart the technique of perhaps the most prolific free throw shooter any of us have ever seen in person....and I'm the know-it-all. Good one. You just compared your advice to that of a PROFESSIONAL opinion (a swing coach), are you joking?

Re: ESPN Team Preview

I think Hare will have problems with bigger, stronger and more experienced front lines that many of the better teams on our schedule will have....he would be my guess for the one to struggle most out of the gate yet improve the most over the course of the season.

i always heard similar rumors about that game, that Sherm Douglas and DC were trash talking our guys about the big bad Big East and us being the lowly A10....so it wouldn't surprise me when the tide turned in our favor if one of our guys threw it in their faces.

Re: A-10 Board: URI predicted to go 8-21

my sources tell me Munford is a player, and will make an impact immediately. We desperately need help at the 2, so that would be a big win if true. Also agree the fate of Onyekaba makes a big difference, just in terms of more minutes, more fouls and another big body to get rebounds and play defense....
