Yes, BYU picked up a new black recruit this year.  His name is Tony
Woods (at least I think it is, its 3 AM so I could be hallucinating),
he's a big kid, 6'8" rebounder type, and I think he's a JC transfer.
Both Sanderson (probable starter this year) and Jones are back, so 
with this new guy BYU will have three black players (probably some
type of record).  And lest anyone forget, Reid's assistant coach,
Charles Bradley, is black as well.

Right.  There aren't a very strong team.  They finished 8th (of 12) this
year in the Australian NBL.  Of course, they may not have had their
American imports playing, which would have made them even weaker..

	You seem to think the intention of the three-point shot is to make
the offense more exciting.  While that's true to some extent, it's hardly
the main reason that the 3-pt line was established.  Before Treys (BT), de-
fenses would pack into the interior to cut off the entry pass, because 
offenses would try to pass for the best shot, which was a lay-up.  As a 
result, we got Siege Basketball.  With the three-point line, offenses were
rewarded for taking outside shots, so (and this is the important part)
defenses were encouraged to play perimeter defense.  A trey isn't a reward
to the offense for making an `easy' shot, but a punishment for the defense
for failing to cover an open man.  Of course, if a guy can hit treys when
covered on d, he's earned them.

 Why until next year? Are there 2 guards as good as Randy and Ronnie coming
out next year? Or does Gibbons say this (hottest backcourt ever recruited)
every year?

Just to give a serious answer to my earlier post in which I made the "and
the rest" joke (which some people took as serious), Jalil Roberts, a 6'5"
swingman from the Hurley's fathers team in New Jersey, was ranked #50 by
Sporting News, so I assume he is ranked at least in the top #100 by
Gibbons.  (he is going to Wisconsin, which is why I mentioned this)

(Darnell?) Hoskins, a 6' point guard out of Dayton, is not ranked in the
top #100, but is called a "prospect" with "potential".  I've heard that
before...

Anyway, a banner class for a program which has traditionally suffered in
the recruiting wars.

OK, since somebody asked:

Stu Jackson is a former pro coach.  His pro-style offense and defense
failed in his first attempt (I'm not throwing in the towel yet - geesh,

Really, you want to lose those strength shoes and jump shoes, and get

cool black hightops. Four Big Springs! You're guaranteed to move like a man

when someone passes you with a peke on a leash: special cow-catcher
technology directs those irritating leashes harmlessly up toward your

when it comes to hoops! Fred MacMurray never had it so good. And no
unpleasing smell. These are guaranteed to have come from box springs
that no 5 year old has ever slept on. And quiet! Only the faintest restless
rustling as you come down the aisle toward your desk. Girls' heads
pivot faster than Linda Blair's as that 4" taller you boings into
place. Big guys threaten to cut you off for movie tickets? Hey,
leap frog into place! Get the Jangler edge! The all around shoe for
the guy who's shooting for the stars!

NO, you are correct.  I had more visibility than I wanted last year (season
tickets) and I agree with you completely.  It's kind of like dealing with
Craig Riley fans, isn't it?  I don't understand how so many people tried to
defend him last year when he couldn't defend any opposing center!

Phobophobia: The fear of fear itself.

Why is the three point line too close?  Because even I can make it 
consistently from that distance.  The 3-point line interesects with
the top of the key--the old make it take point to see who gets first
possession in pick up games.

Okay, I'd probably miss if Grant Hill were flying at me, but I ain't nowhere
near college ability.  But that's my point.  It's an easy shot.  A lot easier
than going inside against the trees and lamp posts and skyscrapers and
windexers and ...

But that's why the three point shot is the great equalizer.  Little teams that
stand no chance of taking it inside can bomb away.  It needs to be a little
further, maybe a foot. [that's the end of my range :^)]

The UPI and AP polls came out, and Utah wasn't on either list.
What *could* they pollsters have been thinking?

In 1977, the UK football team lost at Baylor in an early
season game, maybe the 1st game of the season...on a field
which had about 110 degree heat...and then went on to win
the rest of their games and finish the season 6th in the 
country. The  basketball team won the NCAA in 1978. The football
team was in a bowl-free probation year but it's pretty clear
that by the end of the season they were the best football
team (to my thinking) in the country and certainly the best
ever at UK.

Didn't UCLA ever come close to winning everything in football
between 1964 and 1975?
