I disagree Bill.
He's a moron.

Well, I think we've listed the 4 odds-on favorites in this thread. Brilliant, aren't we?

Nah, if Hairston went to UK, he wouldn't give Crawford credit for the points he'll put up at Oregon... ;D

Not universally. Just look at two KU recruits: CJ Giles sat out his sophomore year because of transfer rules but Micah Downs is switching from Bothell High to Juanita and I do not believe he moved.

It's all over rivals and insiders, so it's likely accurate. I wouldn't count out Texas just yet, though... their facilities are sweet. Just no tradition. Still think we'll land the Miles/Rogers duo.

word, things in the Northwest are all wet - it's rainy, which rarely happens from July 5 to September 30 up here, and my trip to Canada got derailed by a $1,000 clutch replacement job, the need for which was identified on Interstate 5. Oh well......
And bills, I think the Micah Downs rumor was pretty well dispelled. It probably had no legs until Shay Wild-bore decided to make a headline teaser out of it. I suppose some UW hopeful heard he was changing schools and missed the part about him just enrolling in a different high school (shocker - one with a decent basketball team) for his senior year.

And I was wrong (that flashback to Lew Alcindor dunking against Drake in the Final Four threw me off)..... So I checked. I was remembering George Mikan (sorry, Depaul folks, that I was thinking of an Oklahoma A&M guy ;D). Mikan was resposnible for the no defensive goaltending rule in the late 40's. Wilt was responsible for the no offensive goal tending rule implemented in 1958. So I really was wrong about why he started the dipsy doo shot. Lew Alcindor was the main reason that dunking was banned - in 1968. In 1977 it was reinstated.

Dunking was outlawed pre-Wilt (which is why he developed his dispy-doo finger roll - I forget the fellow's name, but he played at Oklahoma State & was pretty dominating.
I vote for Lew as a better overall player than Walton because he was so unstoppable offensively. Don't use the Memphis State game, where they were just freaking overmatched, to compare - there was just nothing teams could do to stop Lew from getting his points. Walton was a better passer but Lew wasn't really all that bad.

Felton, I think you're overlooking Oscar at PG, who I would take over Phil Four Corners, oops we lost Ford. And a little school named USF owes its NCAA history entirely to Bill Russell, who needs to be part of this discussion. Can't argue with the talent you mentioned, though. Another guy who belongs in any discussion that Larry Bird gets into would be Elgin Baylor.
