Mamadou Ndiaye: the tallest HS Player in the World at 7’5″
I wonder if Fisher is recruiting him? He makes Brian Carwell seem small…very small. What’s fascinating about Mamadou is he is only in High School, so he has room to grow some more. The guy literally just stands underneath the basket and dunks the ball; barely lifts his feet off the ground. See video. Article viewed:77 … Read entire article »

San Diego State may be headed to the Big East + West Conference
The Big East continues its major conference expansion plans, reaching out to BYU and San Diego State as potential new candidates to join the league. “There is a push,” BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said when asked about the Big East during his press conference Monday. “And there are conversations that are in place for the Big East to convince or to have BYU join that conference. I trust our Athletic Director [Tom Holmoe] and President [Cecil] Samuelson to deal with all that.” UCF, currently a member of Conference USA, is among the first six schools the Big East targeted to replace West Virginia, TCU, Pittsburgh and Syracuse defecting to the Big 12 and Atlantic Coast conferences. The Knights are expected to formally accept an invitation to join the Big East in all sports this week. UCF is slated to begin competing in the Big East … Read entire article »

Kawhi goes 15th in the NBA draft to the Pacers!
Firstly, Congratulations to Kawhi Leonard. However, Kawhi gets passed by 14 teams after being projected to go as high as four. What happened? Well, as in most drafts, the teams that considered him during the combines confronted the dreaded draft doubt jitters when it came time to taking a chance on a tweener. Kawhi did him self a dis-service by electing to declare this year. One more year would have bought him a guaranteed top 10 pick and mo-money! Instead, he will settle for a trade to most likely to the Spurs and then sent away for development. He may, or may not ever get a chance to play. This early entry into the NBA is nothing more than a a Pyrrhic victory for Kawhi unfortunately. I can only hope … Read entire article »

SDSU 2-time defending MWC Champs!
LAS VEGAS — What’s tougher than being a 15-seed in the NCAA tournament? Well, other than maybe being a 16-seed, it’s being the poor 15-seed that draws likely No. 2 seed San Diego State in next week’s first round. BYU found out on Saturday afternoon in Las Vegas what a season’s worth of pent-up frustration can lead the Aztecs to do, as SDSU thumped the Cougars in the Mountain West Conference tournament title game, 72-54, avenging their only two regular season setbacks. Now imagine what a few decades of built-up postseason angst will feel like for an opponent. Yes, a program that is on the verge of claiming one of the top eight seeds in the field of 68, has never won a game in the NCAA tournament. The Aztecs are 0-6 all-time in … Read entire article »

BYU player Brandon Davies Suspended: he had no code!
Brandon Davies, the third-leading scorer for the third-ranked Brigham Young men’s basketball team, will not play the remainder of the season for violating the school’s honor code. This of course doesn’t surprise me. You know, the BYU cronies will be quick to point out the lack of class that SDSU has-right! I would highly advise all of you BYU hypocrites out there, concern yourself first with your own seedy elements within the BYU Basketball ruse! What a joke! Article viewed:64 … Read entire article »
