Storming the Floor recently put together an intriguing fantasy roster of would-be Olympians had the United States decided to go with college rather than pro players for the 2008 Games. Using without using incoming freshman or recent draftees, their roster included the likes of UCLA’s Darren Collison, ASU’s James Harden, and — surprisingly maybe to [...]

The World Wide Web produced some solid Wildcat interviews today.

Ted Miller of ESPN.com speaks with the guy behind the — hopefully high octane — Airzona O, Sonny Dykes. Some great quotes about both the offense and defense, plus some thoughts on his potential as a future head coach.
Over at SI.com, an interview with [...]

After a whole year of excitement, predicting, and dreaming, everything has come crashing down. With Brandon Jennings shipping off to Europe and Negedu decommitting, U of A has lost their two top recruits from their Top Ten 2008 class. And Jerry D is not coming through that door either.

So things have been pretty quiet around here to say the least. We want to apologize, and now it is time to get back to business. In basketball, Chase is testing the waters, and has until June 16 to return to McKale (PLEASE!). Lute is out recruiting at AAU Tournaments, getting people for [...]
