Ewing was very impressive his freshman year, but I would argue that Ewing's
goaltendings early in the 82 championship game did NOT have much impact
on either the Tar Heels or the game.  Carolina did not alter its attack because
of Ewing, though they did have trouble matching up with him.

What a great game that was!

"The Delaware Destroyer" only came to prominence this summer, with his

him to appear in the top 150 or so in the later list.  He plays in a terrible
league in a state not known for prospects, so that limited his exposure.

Gibbons recently said that if you put Duke's, Kansas' and Indiana's classes

close and that good.

Yup.  Only Charles o'Bannon can save them now.  The real kicker is that there
were an incredible number of great recruits in California this year, and 
they're missing out on them.

 That was in 1988, when Duke assigned Billy "Sky" King to cover Rivers.  The
Def. POY shut him down completely, and scored in double digits himself.  As I
recall, he even made a few free throws.  The Duke mascot had on the "Buckwheat"
tag, probably because Rivers had puffy hair.  There was a big stink about it
afterward, although Rivers himself laughed about it.
  Incidentally, Rivers also had a tough time on Wednesday because he went
to St Anthony's, coached by Bob Hurley Sr.  He's known the younger Hurley for
some time and is in fact Hurley's idol.  Rivers sat out the second half with
a minor injury.

The Utes lost 6 players from last year.  Four of them transfered due to lack
of playing time.  Also there is question as to the ability of Josh Grant to
come back after his knee surgery and sitting out  all of last year.  Coach
Majerus also booted Silas Mills (6'7" forward from Milwaukee) for "team 
violations" (i.e. skipping class).  Here are the remainder of the Utes:

Tony Block	6'9"  Junior	San Jose	Ju-Co transfer

There is also the question of Tom Shuey (6'8" Ju-Co) who seems to be on the 
team one week and quitting the next.

Next year looks scarry.  No one but Phil with quality time returns.  The
Utes did pick up a transfer from Lamar Colloge - Ed "Hootie" Johnson (6'9"),
but he is also an unknown quantity.

It all boils down to big question marks for the Utes.  The first big test

Well actually Brian I think they are one year things. As I understand it
scholarships are one year at a time. Its assumed that if you sign a letter
of intent, you will get a 4 year free ride, but technically, I think you
only get the scholarship one year at a time. A school COULD take away 
your scholarship, but nobody ever would. I recall this because a coach
once pointed this out to me as the fatal flaw in the movie "One on One"
starring that noted athlete Robby Benson. Benson pisses off the coach
who decides to run him off the team, why, because Benson has a scholarship
and the coach cannot kick him off the team simply because he dislikes
him. In reality, he should have been able to let him finish the year and
then not renew his scholarship.

Just to end the suspense, Benson has a great last game, the coach falls in
love with him and Benson tells him to f**k off because he knows he can
transfer to any school he wants. Bad movie, bad performance by Benson,
2 thumbs down.

In response to "Georgetown BEAT", I would just like to point out, that 
while this young squad ( no seniors) did lose to the French National 
Team, it was an exhibition game, designed to give the freshman players 
a chance to get their feet wet.  John Thompson gave playing time to 
almost the entire bench, and the strongest upperclassman, Joey Brown, 
who was a dominating force last year, played a mere 12 minutes.

	Another thought:  The Frenchman who scored the most points 
looked like he hadn't taken a shower in weeks--perhaps the B.O. was 
just too offensive to properly guard him?!!!
