What aboout my man Jayvaughn Pinkston?

His court date is coming up.  1st week of May I think.

Im sticking with Biruta, I havent heard a name yet that I think will be better

I really like Gorgui Dieng from Louisville and Jae Crowder from Marquette. I think both will be impact players within the conference.

I like Crowder too, but at 6'6 would he be considered a big ?

Yea he's their PF/C ala Hayward style also I forgot about Chris Otule on Marquette. He played phenomenal towards the end of the season.

Ya if Otule can figure out how to stay out of foul trouble, he'll be a beast. Marquette's got some nice talent coming back next year

He has a little Dele Coker in him which is good and bad.

Yes. Good for us . Bad for them.

I was a Dele advocate. I think if he would have gotten more time early on he would have developed better.

I noticed nobody mentioned Gilvydas Biruta.  I think he really showed something as a freshman on a team that had absolutely nothing.  He is going to be a nice player for Rutgers.  Obv, he is not an elite big man like the other guys mentioned, but I'd take him over the highly rated Fab Melo.

Hehehe

I liked Biruta. I think he could make a big jump next year with some other big men to help out. Rutgers and SJ could begin a rivalry worth watching.

Don't I feel like a nice person.  And in the first post none the less. 

I am just happy that Bobby G did such a poor job recruiting him.  He was presented to SHU on a silver platter as the story goes and apparently Bobby's questionable personality lead him else where.  A team that had Pope, Hazzell, Theodore, and Biruta could have been a contender in the BE last year!
