I know there are some connections to the school,but If I'm him and want to play in the Big Ten,I'd be a Spartan....or his other great option was to join his buds out at Cal.......to each his own but can't wait for his first visit to the Breslin Center,the MSU kids can be brutal.
The Detroit paper today implied that he picked Purdue because he wouldn't have to play Center there and in the long run,it's in his financial best interest to be a PF....
HHHMMM,anything new on Painter?....would like to have that scenario available to Omari

Curious to see what people are wearing and liking. Leaning towards Fitbit Charge HR, which seems to have most features and a good interface, but still a few cons (not waterproof, pain in the A to charge?). Microsoft Band seems a bit bulky, and I do not want to spend for the Apple Watch first generation. Seems like the other options are by Garmin or Jawbone.

Somewhat concerned about my sleep and kind of want to put everything on display.

Villanova goes before the Radnor BOC amidst a very hostile environment. Wonder if the Green Lantern, Batman, or Superman will make an appearance?

BJ Johnson to Lasalle!

It's 9 years later, and these bastards are still playing important roles on NBA playoff teams.

I will always believe our '06 team was the best of the Jay Wright era, with 4 NBA guys of our own, and we had to run into that buzzsaw. You can talk about sixe, or Kyle not taking open shots, or whatever, but above all else, we got unlucky by drawing a really talented team.

I remain bitter. This playoff season has opened the wound a bit.

Stan (Robinson) to Rhode Island

Kudos to etown for pointing out a tweet that says we have reached out to Tyler. Great news. Outstanding 6-5 soph(2017) wing prospect from Gilman School in The "B". Smooth scorer. good athlete.

Jury has reached a verdict. Court will convene @ 3:00PM to make it public.

i am looking forward to heading out to Minny to cover the EYBL this weekend.
taking a look at the schedule for the 17s I should be able to catch:
Omari Spellman play 3 games.
Kevin Huerter - 3
Lamar Stevens, Lonnie Walker & Dylan Painter - 3
D.J. Harvey - 3
Jermaine Samuels & Nick Richards- 3
Jordan Tucker - 2
as well as NJ Playaz and CIA Bounce twice each.
i have a couple of blank spots in the schedule where i hopefully will be able to see the Team Final 16s with Reddish, Roundtree, Alikakos, etc. and the 16s for Takeover as well.

Zags: 7-footer Paschal Chukwu is transferring from Providence. Also considered St. John's 1st time around.

AL Cy Young champ had a rough start (0-5, 5.04 ERA) but last night he pitched 8 shutout innings, allowing 1 hit and striking out an absurd eighteen Cardinals.

Francona took him out at 105 pitches.

It's almost over. Got a tumbler of Scotch at the ready. GoT can wait.

Does Roger Sterling die tonight?

awful when they go young like that

Going to Aruba in a few weeks. Staying at the Marriott since I had the points. Any recommendations to restaurants, excursions or activities in Aruba.

Andrew Rowsey, a 5-foot-10 sophomore point guard from UNC-Asheville, announced his transfer from Marquette. One of the leading scorers in the Big South Conference, he averaged 19.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists last season.

OMARI HAVING A GREAT AAU SEASON SO FAR.....HE AVERAGED A DOUBLE DOUBLE OUT AT SESSION THREE IN HOUSTON.....OF THE NIKE EYBL CIRCUIT.....AS A RESULT HE WAS NAMED FIRST TEAM FOR HIS OUTSTANDING PLAY OUT OF OVER TWO HUNDRED PLAYERS...SPELLMAN KILLING IT ON THE BOARDS AVERAGED 13REBOUNDS PER GAME.....IN LESS THAN A FULL GAME.......OMARI CONTINUES TO ENHANCE HIS MCDONALD ALL AMERICAN CHANCES....WITH THESE KIND OF SUMMER PERFORMANCES.......THE EYBL CONSISTS OF MANY OF THE TOP PLAYERS IN THE COUNTRY.........IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE TWO HARDEST POSITIONS TO RECUIT ARE TRUE POST PLAYERS, AND TRUE POINT GUARDS.......WE ACHIEVED BOTH OF THESE GOALS WITH POTENTIALLY GREAT PLAYERS IN......JALEN BRUNSEN AND OMARI SPELLMAN.....THE END......

My son graduated this weekend from the College of Engineering. Fortunately, he is starting a fantastic job in a few weeks. But, more importantly, I wanted to comment on graduation weekend. Villanova did a first class job with everything during graduation weekend. From the commencement program on Friday night to the reception afterwards and the individual schools recognition ceremonies followed up with the Baccalaureate . It was fantastic. There wasn't a detail that was missed.

Good luck to all of the graduates of 2015.

Has anybody seen this Kurt Cobain documentary on HBO? Pretty sure his daughter, Frances Bean was the Executive Director.

It hasn't been getting the best reviews from what I've seen, but I saw it last week and thought it was very entertaining, though I was (am) a big Nirvana fan. Courtney Love shows her saggy cans throughout the movie and admits to taking heroin while pregnant because "she knew she could handle it".

Derrick Gordon from UMass. Interesting choice given the mayhem that went on at the Hall last year. Will certainly bring them some additional attention for the upcoming season.

Joe Sarnese left camp without a contract. Article in Atlantic City Press. Senior week activities this week but Joe will be near his phone. Saw a list of Eagles O line prospects and our kids were not on it. Don' know about Monangai.

Miguel joins elite company. Best right-handed hitter ever?

I was surprised to see only 3 BE schools field a football team:
Villanova: CAA
Georgetown: Patriot
Butler: Pioneer (who knew!)

Why is this? Is it a funding and / or priority issue? Title IX?

Does fully funding FCS football put Villanova at a disadvantage to its peers?

Football has a loyal, but very small following at Villanova (look at attendance figures)

Coach Talley has been a great ambassador to the University. As he approaches retirement, will the school revisit the commitment to football when he hangs it up?

Does Villanova really want to be the only BE school fully funding FCS football when the broader University community doesn't support the product? I'm not sure.

This douche can't stop. He probably thinks that if he invites people to roast him that will be the end of the Bieber mocking for good.

Might be the most PR tone-deaf guy out there.

Anyone know if we're after this guy? He went to the same high school as James Bell.
