North Carolina picked up another recruit, 6′ 5″ swing guard Danny Green. Recruiting experts differ in their rankings of Green who had a big summer to shoot up the charts. Most services have in the top 100 and many in the top 50. See Pete Gillen, that’s what you should be looking for.
I hate to keep doing this, because I’ve never seen these guys play and I could be wrong, but it looks like Pete Gillen has landed another middling prospect. Unranked prospect Brian Moten commmitted to the Virginia Cavaliers this weekend. Moten had good numbers in his senior year in Michigan, averaging 28 points, five boards…
I’ve been saying and writing for a while now that the US is catching up to Europe in soccer. Well, we just took another step, our first incident of crowd violence and fighting police! I’m so proud. In fairness, from what I read, the SJPD way overreacted here. Fans standing up and cheering during a…
Herb Sendek continues to perform his magic. Even Lazarus would say, “man, that guy’s made quite a comeback.” A few years ago, it was a certainty that the Wolfpack faithful would send Herb packing, but several good seasons later, he is finally on solid ground. Not only is he winning on the court, he’s starting…
Well, actually you can, but you shouldn’t be able to. One of the big arguments against going to a post-season playoff for football is that it would create too many extra games and thus hurt the academics of those poor student-athletes. Hooey. Most people suggest an 8 team playoff, which would take 3 rounds. That…
Former UNC quarterback and point guard Ronald Curry, who I wrote about previously, had quite a game for the Oakland Raiders last weekend. He led the team with 5 catches for 89 yards, including a 43 yard touchdown in a 13-10 win over the Buffalo Bills. Curry even returned a kickoff for 10 yards. It…
The NABC is dropping their proposal for a fifth year of eligibility for college basketball players. Too bad. As I wrote here, here, here , here and here, I like the idea. As far as I know, there is still talk about a fifth year for football. Maybe the NCAA will come back to it…
I mentioned that the guys at the DBR like Skip Prosser. Well, they like Leonard Hamilton almost as much. There’s no doubt that he’s put together a deeper, more athletic team than FSU has had lately, but I’m not sure how good they’ll be. Last year’s team was essentially a bubble team and it relied…
Like a lot of other people, the guys at DBR like Wake Forest. They like Skip Prosser even more. In fact, they say that he might be the second best coach in the conference now. Remember, this is the Duke Basketball Report, so the two Williamses might not be getting their due. Still, their preview…
Every year, the Duke Basketball Report does some nice previews of each ACC team. Somehow, I missed that they started doing these last week. Here is their preview of NC State.
