WHAT WERE YOU THINKING AWARD????????????

Jr. Morris- Seton Hall (who? right!)
Shavlik Randolph- Duke (lost soul)
Kennedy Winston- Alabama (future Lottery Pick, I wonder who was in his ear)
Matt Walsh- Florida (good grief)
Chris Taft- Pitt (would have been Lottery Pick next year)
Alex Acker- Pepperdine (who? exactly)
Kelenna Azubuike- Kentucky (would have been the man on a good Kentucky
team)
Brandon Bass- LSU (would have been first team All-American)
John Gilchrist- Maryland (coach Williams told him he wasn't ready)
Dwayne Jones- St. Joe's (possibly would have been A-10 POY)
Randolph Morris- Kentucky (cost himself millions by not playing one more
year for Tubby)
Anthony Roberson- (poor man's Deron Williams would have been a sure fire
first round pick next year)

Winner is.......................

Bracey Wright- Indiana

Would have competed with Dee Brown (who I applaud for going back to
school) for the Big Ten POY and would have been a lottery pick. That young
Indiana team would have made the tournament for sure. Stupid. Stupid.
Stupid.

My exes mother taught and was assistant principal at Capitol High in BR,
LA. Brandon was a student and friend of hers who she went the extra mile
for, just like many of her students. I am 6-6, he is 6-7. I often gave
her clothes of mine to give to him to wear, because he had NOTHING. I
recall her telling me he didnt even truly have a place to call home
because his parents dying or something like that, or just being dopes. I
gave her an black Adidas track suit and a couple of old belts I outgrew
after adding about 15 pounds of fat to my frame. He was extrememly
thankful and wore all of the clothes constantly. About a week before the
end of his senior year, he pulls up in a brand new decked out 500 series
Mercedes. I dont really know anymore than that but that is the game these
kids are playing in. Staying in school means nothing to them.

In fact, a guy I met in my current job training used to coach form
Miami-Ohio football. He was some kind of assistant, and had played for
them years ago. He was also basically in charge of making sure recruits
got admitted and stayed eligible. They had about 20 different people of
different looks, colors etc. that would take the recruits ID and go take
the ACTs for them to get them their required 15. You see all of the crap
Florida A and M is going thru. You here of all the recruiting
violations. College athletics is very crooked, and the strongest programs
are the biggest offenders..

I bet that story applies to 90 percent of the kids drafted tonight.

MONTA ELLIS, WOW, Nuff said. Promised between 11-20. Or so he and his
agent say?

Came back is because he broke his foot at the PreDraft camp. I don't
think he would've come back if that didn't happen, however for Illinois'
fans that is a good thing.
