The Police


-- Dick Bennett lowers expectations. Washington State's "that'll be the day" has arrived.

-- Lorenzo Romar, recruiting machine. Spencer Hawes' commitment to Washington ups the ante in the Pac-10. Arizona and UCLA must now upgrade their frontlines. The Lopez twins have Stanford's back.

-- More trouble for Purdue. Shortly before juco transfer Tarrance Crump was arrested for a hit-and-run (Gregg Doyel: "Matt Painter faces the first awful decision of his career.") Gordon Watt was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication and disorderly conduct.

-- Jimi Hendrix was in 1969 acquitted after asserting that heroin was slipped into his bag without his knowledge. Will now former Tennessee forward Jemere Hendrix employ the same defense?

-- Stan Heath: "I'm not going to crucify a kid for speeding." To. The. Contrary.

We had guys who were really charged up to the point they were rushing things. Darian was like that. He'll get a speeding ticket some times. He just does things too fast at times. But I'd rather have a guy like that than maybe one you have to speed up a little. Steven Hill is a guy we try to speed up (emotionally) at times. So the emotion is what you want.

-- Didn't anybody tell Wonk? Beauty is internal.

-- Tickets to West Virginia's Guardians Classic games are now on sale. I'll skip the regionals in favor of West Virginia-Texas.

-- Who says nobody wants to play for Andy Kennedy? Not Cincinnati walk-ons Branden Miller and Pat Watt.

-- More reason to dislike Dick Vitale; the college basketball commentariat's most recognizable face prefers the Yankees to the Cardinals in the World Series. Me? I'm with Wetzel.

-- Ryan Sims has opted to attend Bowling Green rather than Michigan State. A big win for the Falcons.

-- Stanford athletic director Ted Leland will step down on January 1st. Trent Johnson, however, need not worry about his successor (if the Cardinal keep winning).

-- How long did it take Kentucky to distribute 20,000 tickets to this year's edition of Midnight Madness? A cool 35 minutes. The likelihood Ashley Judd got hers? 1:1.

-- Only North Carolina (14) has more players than Arizona and Duke (10) in the NBA. This and more from Steve Rivera of the Tucson (AZ) Citizen here.

Players in the NBA - UNC has the most (none / 0)

You misread the article about college players in the NBA.  The quote is "The Wildcats and Duke rank second among colleges with players in the NBA with 10 players each. North Carolina has 14."

Just thought you'd want to know.

Sims (none / 0)

Sims didn't choose Bowling Green over MSU.  He didn't have a single B10 offer.  He went down to Bloomington quite a few times in hopes of an offer that would never show up.  

He's a fine mid-major caliber player, but he certainly didn't turn down any B10 schools.

UK NBA players (none / 0)

I don't know how they are counting players in the NBA, is it for sure on rosters or simply in training camp?  I can name 10 University of Kentukcy players that i believe are "for sure" NBA players and at least 4 more who have a shot.

Derek Anderson
Mark Pope
Tayshaun Prince
Nazr Mohammed
Keith Bogans
Antoine Walker
Scott Padgett
Jammal Maloire
Walter McCarty
Tony Delk

And the possiblies:

Kelenna Azubuike
Gerald Fitch
Chuck Hayes
Ron Mercer

If only going with "for sures", than I believe Kentucky has 10, if including those simply in camp, than up to 14.

Don't forget Erik Daniels (none / 0)

Erik Daniels was a member of the Sacramento Kings last year. He is one of my favorite UK players of all time - loved his way of getting shots off from crazy angles.

Ron Mercer played in 05 but was waived by NJ Nets as their amnesty player. Given Mercer's injury problems and career decline, he may be through.

However, UK has not had a solid pro in a while. But this is not a suprising given the lack of talent in recent years. I have loved the character and grit of the last 3 teams (personified by Chuck Hayes) but UK is just down in the talent department. We will see if Rando and Crawford can turn that around.

In Kentucky, Basketball is King (none / 0)

And here people thought moving MM to Rupp would be a mistake. The Cats sell everything out. Kansas is having trouble selling tickets?!? Goodness.
