Ya, I’m precious (blushes). But, no, I don’t get bonus points for throwing out random “neurological disorders”. I do get my kicks when I throw out psychological ones that describe the culprit……… try this one though — Borderline disorder! Na, I don’t make fun of people with cerebral palsy (which is neurological), I make fun of the personality deprived people (that is psychological), like you =). But seriously, have a nice day! Don’t forget to tip your psychiatrist on the way out =p He/she might give you a little something something extra if you do. lol Say, why don’t I call you SILLY SALLY! Since your logic is slap stick silly, and because you continue to associate me with pasta even though we hate each other (talking from my perspective). But hey, baiting people is what you DON’T do Lord2FLI, because you have NEVER had any post that might provoke a thought ever. You’re perfect and not a hypocrite. People should aspire to be more like you.

I have a question about the Born Ready Documentary: Why should that be an NCAA violation? I know the NCAA is pretty stupid when it comes to enforcing rules but I really don’t see the problem. What happened to the revenues from “Hoop Dreams”? Did Arthur & William ever see any of that money? I sure hope so. I sure would like to hear an explanation if anybody knows what the rules are.

As far as Memphis goes, they have some pretty good players coming this fall and I really think that the Barton brothers are going to give them a lot next year. Some schools get on a roll for a few years with recruits but can just as quickly fall off the map for a few years. Remember UNLV in the late 80s, early 90s? Or UCLA after their great run through the 60s & early 70s? One & Done players make it harder to sustain a good run through multiple years.

Rastaboy,

Your Phoenix of a program was guided by the incomparable salesmen JC. Once recruits realize they were sold the Emperor’s New Clothes by JP, not JC, they’ll stop going to UM, unless they just cannot resist that style of ribs. That’s all podunk Memphis has going for it. I personally like Carolina and KC/St. Louis style ribs better!

Now that you know Lance has rejected Arizona …..you say you don’t want him ……typical rationalization for losing another top recruit ….. scraps from Xavier and Usc, won’t get you anywhere playing Sean ball …..top programs recruit top players …….In the past year Memphis has recruited enough talent to stock 2 teams LOL …….. Cousins …Wall ….Henry …Dodson …LW …..Lance ….Coleman …. Arizona is on the skids …..

Are Arizona fans allowed to talk bad about Josh Pastner?

“Leftovers?” You mean, like the Memphis coach, who is a “leftover” from Arizona? As for top recruits, Arizona has one of the top recruiting classes in the country–and Miller accomplished that in under two months. I’ll take a proven winner who can accomplish that over a guy who is a good self-promoter and can sell a head coach like Lute or Cal. Have fun with your unproven head coach and the coming NCAA hammer…

On the Lance front, I’ve never wanted this guy in an Arizona uniform. This: “When Lance Stephenson is playing, you know exactly where Lance Stephenson Sr. is at all times. It’s not his hulking frame that gives him away; it’s his mouth. Whether he’s antagonizing opposing players from the stands, cheering on his son or yelling about how Lincoln High coach Dwayne (Tiny) Morton is using Stephenson during a game, Stephenson Sr. usually has something to say.” (From http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/high_school/2009/06/21/2009-06-21_end_zone_who_wants_lance.html?page=1#ixzz0JH52oqOR&C)

Arizona has had this kind of parent around the program a couple of times in the past. It never ends well. Add the court case, the eligibility issues, etc. in, and this guy is an NCAA investigation waiting to happen. Although, Memphis has never shied away from shady players and treading the line of impropriety, so perhaps that’s not a problem for them or their fans. A program who has welcomed World Wide Wes for so many years is ready-made for a Stephenson type of player.
