George has some of the traits NBA teams covet. He's young and has got good size for his position. Can shoot the ball and anytime they see a 6'7"+ player that can dribble, pass and shoot it's going to get their attention. I don't know if he's a lottery pick like some project, but don't think...

George is all potential right now, like a lot of the other young guys getting drafted or on draft boards. NBA teams are not looking at him based off a production standpoint. He's high on some of these mock drafts based off what he can be, not what he is now.

I disagree. Benz is what he is. A good backup at the collegiate level. If he's a starter or if you're counting on him to lead, then your team just isn't that good.

It's pretty evident that there's some turmoil going on within the team. No question that there will be changes to the roster.

Unfortunately, it's not necessarily just the money that Nike throws at kids. It's their influence and connections that gives Nike so much clout in the game. At the high school and grassroots level for example, most of their athletes get put at the front of the lines for awards, national teams...

Seriously doubt it will be us, but won't be long before someone poaches him. He's one of the hottest names in the game today, Very impressive what he's done at Kennesaw and now at USF.

I don't think there's any question Wooga Poplar's stock with NBA teams has taken a hit with the subpar season he's had thus far. What was once a promising start to a breakout campaign has turned into a dud. Whether injury has been the root of the problem or whether it was just poor play, Poplar...

Have you watched the NBA in the last decade? No one plays D anymore. George has the size and skill set that NBA teams love. 6'8"+ in height who can shoot it with distance with enough ball-handling that once he gets stronger and more explosive he'll be able to get by people and to the rim. I...

No question season has been a disappointment up to this point. Team did show some life on Saturday however. They played hard and despite missing George they gave themselves a chance to win the game late. Bench was serviceable. Pack and Omier showed out. Need Wooga to start resembling the guy who...

The most disappointing part to me this season has been watching how the. team has regressed. That's the one thing we've rarely, if ever, see from a Miami team led by Coach L. Matter of fact, it's usually the other way around. His teams usually get better as the season progresses. There's still...

Gomez probably made some promises on LSU's behalf and for whatever reason LSU didn't come through. Maybe they thought Tito wasn't worth it. Who knows. But don't know Gomez to be a liar or bad dude. Well respected among his peers and countrymen. Never heard a bad thing said about him.

Thanks for sharing. Good read. Eduardo Gomez (who was supposedly recruiting Tito to LSU) was living in Miami in the 80's. Coached girl's high school basketball back then. I think he ended up going back to DR during the late 90's and taking a posh job with their government.

Odd thing is Tito was supposed to go to Houston, but if I remember correctly his test scores were flagged. Ended up at LSU before transferring to Miami. I was barely a teenager back then so I don't recall the exacts but do remember him sitting out some games before playing. I think he was one of...

Yes sir. Overtime Elite is in ATL and it's where the Thompson twins finished up their high school careers. It's a great option for any high school kid. Their facilities are second to none. Love the small classroom setting they provide. Kids have access to around the clock training. If they're...

My bad dawg. I thought I read one of your previous post where you mentioned him as being undersized. Not sure what I was looking at but good to hear that your nephew has grown to 7 feet. When I saw him over the summer thought he was around 6'9', maybe 6'10". Regardless, 7'0" 270 lbs moving the...

Not sure who your nephew is but sounds like he's an undersized (6'7"ish?) post player and if that's the case, it won't matter which college he attends because the NBA will be difficult to achieve at any school. Under 6'8" post players are dinosaurs in the NBA. Truth be told, your nephew needs to...

I hear ya but we are what our record says we are. We've lost some close games but won some as well. Just seems like it's been a constant struggle all season with this team. Whether it's injuries, lack of focus, or just plain bad luck, team must do a better job of playing basketball. Effort and...

Maturity? Maybe. I think it's more focus and discipline. Offense is good when we're getting paint touches and flat-footed 3's. Not so good when it's 1-pass, shot from 25 feet out. I've said it before and I'll say it til I see otherwise, but just seems to me they're not playing team ball more...

There's no question this team has been a major disappointment thus far. That being said, we're currently on a 2 game winning streak sitting at 14-6 with 11 games left to go in the regular season. I can understand why you're directing some of your criticism towards Coach L. If we're going to laud...

Glad to see the team get back in the win column. Rough 2 week stretch this month (Jan. 6-20), but we've got to keep things in perspective. As things sit, we're currently 13-6 with 12 games left, split right down the middle. 6 at home, 6 on the road. We're going to need 7-8 regular season wins to...
