I am just a few hours removed from returning home from a weekend trip to Raleigh in which I got my first in person look at Cameron Indoor. And be proud UK fans, there is a certain piece of UK memorabilia buried somewhere (in Red Sox fashion) in that building that will forever haunt the future Greg Paulus’ of the world. Have fun with the curse of Aminu Timberlake Blue Devil fans. I always find it interesting you can just walk into buildings like this without any resistance. The same applied for both the Dean Dome and Freedom Hall. There was a kid’s camp going on when I was down there, and lets just say if Coach K gets his next group of recruits out of that group of kids, Duke will become as white as ever. Is Coach K becoming this century’s version of Bear Bryant or Adolph Rupp, going for a complete white-out. Nonetheless, a fun trip.
1. Wanna know where UK stands on the recruits of 2010? Jody Demling has the best free info you can find. Dominique Ferguson now ranked 13th in the class, while Dakotah Euton and KC Ross Miller now both outside of the Top 100. Along with Ferguson, the state of Indiana has SIX Top 100 recruits for 2010 alone.
2. So just what does the Lakers GM like in Joe Crawford? The Herald-Leader gives you the scoop. My initial thought when Crawford was drafted was “have fun sitting behind Kobe forever”, but when you actually look at it, LA might be a good place. Crawford will never start, but if the Finals showed us anything its the Lakers bench is weaker than people think and Derek Fischer needs to retire. While Joe will not play the point in the NBA, it still should open minutes. I think Crawford has a shot to play some minutes immediatly.
3. Kenny Perry clearly didn’t want to have to sweat out a spot on the Ryder Cup team, winning his second tournament this year with a final round 66. Perry now sits 4th on the updated Ryder Cup standings, but thats still putting Tiger first, meaning Perry actually is 3rd. JB Holmes dropped another 2 spots to 17th overall, and Steve Flesch is now 39th, 4 spots lower than last week.
4. In honor of Spain’s 1-0 EURO victory (which I didnt watch but sounded boring, sarcasm folks), here is something the majority of us are more interested in, the hot wives and girlfriends. Also, thanks to the website called Pop Crunch, which followed the entire tournament and gives us 3 great photo galleries of the best looking fans of EURO 2008 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)
5. Do you see the amazing play made by the minor league ball girl last week. Wow, I am in love. No, its not fake Tomlin. And yes she loves me back. Well, screw you then.
6. So, if you didnt hear this story, Bonnie Bernstein went on Mike and Mike and made some comments about the “similarities” between AAU basketball and Palestine suicide bombers. She prefaces it by saying “this is not a comparison” and then goes on to make a comparison. While I have always liked Bernstein, this was stupid to say. Her thought was kids growing up today are taught by parents and coaches its their “destiny” to play in the NBA in the same way kids in Palestine are taught they will be suicide bombers. Again, I dont say this to start a political debate, just how people use the mask of “not to make a dumb comparison” and then go on to do just that.

Hey BTI are you saying your love isn’t fake or the video isn’t fake? If it’s the video, it actually is fake. http://www.snopes.com/photos/advertisements/ballgirl.asp
It’s a nice Gatorade web commercial … subtle, yet effective.

Not very good rankings at all for K.C. and Dakota, huh?
June 30th, 2008 at 10:37 am
What gives with J.B. Holmes? He has played one tournament in the last 6 weeks (US Open). If the guy wants to make the Ryder Cup Team, he had better start playing some golf.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:37 am
I always thought it was, well, “interesting” that Coach K always gets a pass for his bench full of white players. If UK had as many white guys as Duke has year in and year out there would be all kinds of accusations being thrown around. But with Duke, nobody says anything.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:42 am
I don’t mean to get ahead of myself, but the triangle offense doesn’t really require a true point guard, so it’s possible that Joe could actually get minutes at “point” in a lineup with maybe Kobe and Walton. The Lakers definitely have no perimeter offense when Kobe is out…ESPN was doing cartwheels for both of the games that Vujacic didn’t suck during the thirty games they played in the playoffs, so maybe Crawford has a chance.
I know recruiting rankings aren’t everything, but generally you don’t celebrate recruits who aren’t in the top 100. Does anyone think K.C.’s stock plummeting might have something to do with that bizarre unaccredited high school league he plays in? Wasn’t he a top ten talent before last season? Maybe they just aren’t ranking him because it would be like ranking Europeans and JUCOs with the high school players. I don’t know, maybe I’m just hoping he doesn’t suck.

I hope you were kidding about that Gatorade commercial. If not…dude. I think you may need help.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:57 am
I feel the same way and hope you are right. #5

I loved the Curse of Aminu Timberlake piece. As for Coach K’s kids being mostly white, he got it honestly from Bobby Knight, most of his teams were the same way. I once heard a UPS driver from Indiana make a comment about something being whiter that an IU team.

one of the best quotes of the weekend came from a UNC fan who said “I would cheer for Al-Qaeda before I would cheer for Duke”, classic
June 30th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Loved the Ball Girl video even though it was a filmed commercial for Gatorade! That memory of Laetner planting his foot on Aminu is forever etched in my mind. Thanks for bringing that up again. Waiting and hoping for some good Liggins news.

I would boo Duke’s chess team.
June 30th, 2008 at 11:48 am
I’d like to take a dump on the Coach K court have Wojo step in it!

BTI, that sounds like something some dip$hit UNC fan would say. The last time I checked, NC was still a part of the US (unfortunately)
June 30th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
9.. On Matt’s radio show last year, Bomani was on and said “If Duke was playing the KKK, I would cheer for a tie”.

BTI, that ballgirl’s catch was the most amazing sports play I’ve seen since Larry Bird made a basket by bouncing the ball off of a building outside of the gym in a game of horse with Magic. He even called the swish.
June 30th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
#17 I agree. That was one of the most athletic plays of any kind
that I have seen in a long time. There is not a male athlete on
this or any other planet that could have made that catch look any
more amazing. Just incredible.
June 30th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
17- Totally. Easily the most impressive athlete since the Cubs signed that 12 year old Rowengartner kid with the tight arm tendon that brought the crazy heat.
June 30th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Hey Bryan, just heard you’re doing trivia questions for dave and Scott tomorrow. Ask Scott who is the only wildcat to lose three games in the basketball series since it resumed. That should stump him. A really good question would be the only player in the series to go 4 and 0. That really would stump him.
June 30th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
whats up with euton and ross how come their not in the top 100. i know bcg does not recruit players that would not eventually be in the top 50 but 100

There is no Palestine. Not since 1948!
