#61 Kentucky Wildcats: College Football 77 in 77

By

With a coach's name like Joker Phillips, you know the Kentucky Wildcats are going to have a ton of players on the all name team (my favorite feature of the 77 in 77) and they don't disappoint with DTs Mister Cobble and Donte Rumph. Both of which also star players. All of UK's talent is on defense, for the most part. As their offense was EXTREMELY ATROCIOUS last … [Read more...] about #61 Kentucky Wildcats: College Football 77 in 77

Houston Rockets Tweet wrong school for their own draft pick (photo)

By

I can understand why you might be confused as to where Royce White went to school. He started out committed to the Minnesota Golden Gophers, but that of course didn't work out too well for Tubby Smith and company. He then went to the Big Ten island of misfit toys, otherwise known as Iowa State University. Like other malcontents, he flourished in Ames and got himself taken … [Read more...] about Houston Rockets Tweet wrong school for their own draft pick (photo)

Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger not invited to NBA Draft

By

Jared Sullinger was once a shoe-in for the NBA Draft lottery. Had he come out last year, instead of this year, he probably would have been top 6 or 7. Now with news stories about his back issues swirling about, he's fallen out of the top 20, maybe even the top 25, probably. The fact that he's not even invited to the NBA Draft in New York City means he's almost certainly out … [Read more...] about Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger not invited to NBA Draft

Kentucky’s Anthony Davis ready to join New Orleans Hornets

By

A couple years ago, Anthony Davis was a lightly recruited guard at Charter Perspectives High School in Chicago, Ill. Then he grew over half a foot, and became a big man prospect with guard skills. The rare combination of attributes led to his shooting up the recruiting rankings. He became a McDonald's All-American, won all the national college basketball individual awards, and … [Read more...] about Kentucky’s Anthony Davis ready to join New Orleans Hornets
