I think Crossjammer had the best point, is Campanelli going to be able
to get 4 young kids and Hendrick to play well together? But the talent
is clearly there to challenge, the biggest concerns will be outside
shooting, and rebounding. I'm banking on a big sophomore year out of
Alfred Grigsby , and a big freshman year from Kidd. Arizona simply
won't be as strong inside this year, Stokes just hasn't developed
like I thought he would, Mills may lead this team in rebounds(didn't
he do it last year?)

Agreed about Petruska, but the key is where will the scoring come from,
and how much will the bench contribute? Defense will have to generate
the offense, because O'Bannon and Tarver are the only guys who could
be considered scorers(on their own outside of an offense) and neither
guy has had this much responsibility before.

From Matthew's post, I got the impression that Petruska, Dempsey and
Nwankwo weren't playing in Italy(he did say only returning players 
didn't he?), so they will still need to be worked into the program
now.

I think Petruska will be a big addition, if we had him last year we
would have been much better, but we lost a lot of firepower, and
have very little proven depth.

    After seeing UNLV's and this schedule, nobody better even
come close to laughing at SU's non-conference schedule.  Only
TWO away games?!?  One to the worst DIV I team in the country and
the other to a team I don't even know what division they're in.
Just out of curiousity, how many of these teams ARE Div I?
Geesh, they're giving G'town a run for their money.

Let's see ... are you using the coaches' poll or the sportswriters
as a factual basis for evaluating academics. Or is it a Saragin 
computer analysis?  

I say the ratings are only an approximation. Until the two schools
go head-to-head on a quiz show set, you really don't know anything.

How's that?  They had Dean Garrett, who was 6'10", and ended up the 1rst
team All-Big 10 center.  Sure, he was no giant, but he was more of a center
that a lot of teams that won the title.

  Well, although this group is no longer the appropriate place to discuss (bash)
the exploits of Christian Laettner, there is one footnote to one of the
controversies he was involved with last year. It seems that the infamous
Laettner diary that was to be published by GQ will not be published after all.
Apparently, CL never sent them any tapes relating to the NCAA tourney.  
And there was a early summer deadline, so he missed it.
  He may try to publish it on his own.  A suggested title would be "Diary of
a Not Very Complex Person."

Can any avid LSU fans tell me how Jamie Brandon did last year?  The few times
I saw him on TV he usually looked lost, and I can't remember seeing him score
very many points.  From what I saw it didn't look like the Illini lost much.

The best place for Griffith to go IMHO is Georgetown.  Granted, I dislike 
John Thompson greatly, but he is among the best at developing big men (being
one himself).

And to the guy who said Illinois offered $80,000 and a blazer, well Deon 
Thomas, and his mother took polygraph tests in which they were asked who 
offered incentives to go to school.  They both answered Iowa, and passed the
polygraph exam.  His grandmother also took a polygraph test if I remember,
and claimed Bruce Pearl offered money to fix her house up if she could persuade
Deon to go to Iowa.  Then there's the fact that while Chicago Simeon was in
Europe, Bruce Pearl just "happened" to be there and bump into Deon.  And 
there's more (concerning ND, Minnesota, and Reynaldo Kyles (?)), but I'll
stop there.

Sorry to ramble, but after 4 years this shit still stinks bad.  Someone said
if they wanted Illinois to suffer in their recruiting, they shouldn't cut their
scholarships, just let Bruce Pearl recruit for them for the 2 years.

Well,

Grant Hill is certainly an excellent player with unlimited potential.  
However, I truly think that he has yet to truly tap that potential.  His
outside shooting is not the equal of Laettner's, and he must develop his
post game a bit more.  Most of all, he sometimes shows a lack of aggression
on the court, a "killer instinct", if you will.  To some degree, he may have
been deferring to other players on that team, but sometimes he actually seems
timid on the court.  Next year, he will be expected to be the leading scorer
on the team, and he will need to become the kind of clutch shooter that
Laettner was.  He will also need to stay healthy.  Hill has missed seven 
games so far in his career, and been ineffective due to injury in several
others.  Laettner only missed one game in his entire career.  Hill may go
on to eclipse Laettner's feats at Duke and in the pros, but Laettner was the
big reason Duke went back to back.

That's it!  Rollie recruited a fairly good freshman class before he left,

guard).  Another freshman changed his mind and went somewhere else.  Does
anyone know what players Villanova DOES have coming in this year?  They

Thankfully, their schedule is the weakest I have ever seen.  Perhaps,

Well, they cleverly scheduled Sacramento State there Dec. 1 to try
to decimate that monkey once and for all. First official game of
the year.

They also play Wake Forest, UCLA and Arizona at the Coliseum. At
3:00 on Mar 6, the team will be there ready to take on any 5 
students from Arizona State who a) still have NCAA eligibility
b) are healthy enough to play, and c) happen to be in town.

Maybe because they didn't win the NCAA championship.  That's what the

SU was #3, not to mention it was on their home court (practically)

I would think that means Cole will be the point, but I wonder how he'll
handle it.  He was the big gun in high school at ~30 ppg and was the
whole offence at times.  I can't say he doesn't have the skills to do 
but with the teams he was on at Bloom he was expected to score not
distribute.  Might be interesting!
