The closest thing I can recall is when the Giants had Deve Megett as a do everything player and after that every team tried to get a Dave Megett.

It is a good comparison but against different competition. One was against Big East teams, the other against the MAC. So you don't know what it would look like if it was reversed.

He might even be better off not drafted. That way he can negotiate with more than one team. SOMEONE will want him. Count on it.

OUCHHHHH Let's just put that into perspective. UA is a commuter school with many students who enroll part time or at night and work full time. Many local students try it and don't like it. The other two schools are located in "college towns" and have few commuter students. Most live on campus and are committed to a four year degree. Just to put your smack into context.

And YOU took MY post out of context. He WAS arrested and he WAS suspended. Those are facts. At the time I was the one who said it was no big deal and would go away. And it did. But my POINT is that big guys like him are targets. Pros get into trouble all the time with people who think they are tougher than the biggest guy in the room. David Wells, Mark Gastineau etc. I hope he realizes the position he is in and how much he has to lose. At his age self control is not always that easy.

It wasn't enough that Zekes Mom went off on you, now I have to also? When he was arrested, people here were crying the blues that he was going to prison etc. And I was the one who said: "It's a bar fight. It will go away. No big deal". Look it up. And then apologize.

I think I get it! :lol:

And let's remember that Tree also turns into Mr. Hyde when he has too much to drink. I hope he realizes where he is and how much he now has to lose.

I would like some verification that he is that tall. At 6"10" with his skills and determination he is NBA material for sure. AND that would give us a gigantic lineup with PF at 6'11" And Johnson supposedly around 6'9"

Tree has that job locked up. When he gets going he is downright scary.

Dang. You got me. Akron '71 champion of nothing.

Those appear to be sattelite campus locations. More like a community college. NOT the people we play sports against.

Being a single digit seed is nearly impossible. Go undefeated (and have a few quality top 50 opponents) and maybe, just maybe. Even then not likely. MAC teams do not get single digit seeds.

I'm going to take a slightly different tack. At full strength, no one arrested or sick with food poisoning, if we had a good night, and they had a very bad night, we would have had a shot. During the season, very goods teams occasionally lost to very bad teams. Trying to say we WOULD have beat them is nonsense. We COULD have beat them at full strength on a good night.

He will land with a team. Someplace tonight there is a GM laughing softly to himself - might not even have to use a draft choice to get the big guy.

Since Capt K is quoting me, all I can say is: It's all good. How can it be bad?

Come on guys. DOMENIK HIXON. And Chase Blackburn was the STARTING MLB for the NEW YORK GIANTS. NOT "he played a little".

Wheeler sounds like he could be another Brian Walsh. We can ALWAYS use that. Hill, not much offense and no height. But maybe he is a great ball handler. Time will tell.

Wheeler might be interesting. Hill is 5'10", not sure where that fits unless he is a super ball handler. Did not have much point production in high school.

Yes, I forgot about him Actually, I would like to see him play some minutes. It would be quite entertaining to watch him pump in 10 or 15 3's in a row.

A bench warmer is nothing to get excited about. We have had some highly touted players that contributed nothing - Dakota, Justice, Petersen come to mind. Our weakest position is PG, as we all know. Coming off the Zeke era, a really big guy would be nice. Other than that, we have a solid crew and a "utility" player is just not very exciting.

Forget the name. Would it be a MEANINGFUL addition? Translation: A seven footer, or a REALLY GOOD POINT GUARD? Because otherwise you are just jerking our chain.

For the benefit of those who do not have your experience the problem is: If one defendant (the other guy lets say) made a statement implicating AA and himself, the prosecutor will want to use that statement against bad guy #1 at trial. However, the jury for AA can NOT be allowed to hear that statement, because AA has a Constitutional Right to challenge that statement, BG #1 has a right to remain silent at trial and can NOT be called as a witness except by himself, and you can not cross examine a piece of paper. So normally, if a prosecutor wants to use statements against the defendant who made them, and they reference the OTHER defendant, you need two trials, or two separate juries, and at appropriate times one jury is excluded from the proceedings. Since it is stated that the Defense Attorney is asking for a severance. my guess is that he sees a conflict of interest where the lawyer for the co-defendant will ask questions/present evidence in such a way that it will prejudice AA. But he may not get the severance, because that is the reason that each accused gets a separate lawyer. Of course, this is all speculation. NOT legal advice. Just speculation.

I would not assume that for one second. AA does not enjoy any privilege with KD. KD called be called to repeat anything he told him. Lawyer told him at time of arrest SAY NOTHING TO ANYONE.
