  1. He is not playing at UCLA because others are playing better. Despite his HS credentials he won't have a shot at the NBA if he can't beat out his peers at UCLA. That having been said, he certainly could be a force in the Sun Belt.
  2. Rice beat South Alabama so they may not be that easy. After Boise, we just need a win. Doesn't have to be by 20, and likely won't be. Just win.
  3. You like to use Rivals, so let's use Rivals. Using avg stars (to even out the differing number of recruits) Rivals rated our standing in the Sun Belt recruiting classes as follows: 2007 T6th and 7th 2008 3rd 2009 7th (virtual tie for 5th) And, as TastyGreek pointed out, our 2008 class ratings include highly rated guys who didn't get into school. Let's use comparison that are statistically comparable.
  4. Colorado immediately announced that Hawkins will be back. No one is left twisting in the wind. The problem is the lack of decision, and the lack of communication of decision if one has been made.
  5. Geez, Kram, at FSU the guy is 80 years old, has been there forever, and his successor is already on the staff. Surely that situation is unlike ours.
  6. according to WKU web site his contract had been extended through 2016. Wonder if that is correct? That is a lot of years to buy out.
  7. The holding was clear on the TV replay. The call was correct.
  8. Absolutely. Note that Troy won the home game v Missouri and the home game v OklaSt.
  9. Along those same lines: Troy just announced a home and home w Mississippi State. Previously Troy had home-and-homes with Missouri and Oklahoma State. Yes, Virginia, there is a santa claus, and you can get home-and-home series with schools from automatic qualifier conferences.
  10. easy. They may have a chance to play for a national championship. And when being recruited, none knew they would not start. But what competitor would not risk a lot to play for a national championship?
  11. UT had actively promoted UH which is how UH got into the conference.. Pushed hard for them. No one was actively promoting UNT. "In our corner" is not the same as "pushing for".
  12. Not so, our being admitted to SWC never came to a vote, was never even on the agenda. SMU may not have wanted us, Arkansas did not want another Texas state school, but the big thing is we had no sponsor. As to CUSA, the next choice after UTEP was .... none. Stay at eleven. SMU may not have wanted us, but they had little influence, and no one wanted us.

  14. It is not correct to believe that a potential NBA talent will not get a chance to develop because of Howland's system; UCLA center Kevin Love was 6-10 255 and was 5th player taken in the 2008 NBA draft. In fact Howland's previous HC job was at Pitt and he brought Big East style physical basketball to UCLA. A good big should thrive under Howland. Howland is a great coach who is frequently in the final four (he has taken teams from three schools to the Final Four) and has a good chance of getting there again this season. If Morgan is not getting playing time, it is likely because others are playing better. Not because of Howland's sytem. Quickness could be the real issue. If he was told to lose weight, possibility it was to enable him to increase his quickness. Not to say he wouldn't be a great add for UNT if we could get him. But he hasn't left UCLA yet.
  15. According to an article in the Sun Belt tournament program; info as of Jan 1st. Chris Davis - Playing in France Bryan Lucas - Austria Jeffrey Simpson - Uruguay Michael Sturns - Japan Calvin Watson - Hungary The article lists 73 former Sun Belt players playing in other countries. FYI.
  16. Yes, of course. Why would anyone expect otherwise?
