I was thinking about heading out to watch some HS hoops here tonight in Houston and wanted to go watch Christian James play. I just checked the Bellaire team stats for the season in the Houston Chronicle and James isn't listed anywhere. Did I miss something? Did he switch schools...

I was interested in looking up Lattin's stats/opponents after reading the thread already started about him. I noticed that his team is apparently playing Ponca City in the "John Nobles Basketball Tournament" in Moore tomorrow @ 5:30PM. Maybe we can get some first-hand scouting...

I had to watch the game on mute (DVR'd, wife sleeping, etc) so I'm curious if Hield re-aggravated anything or if they just really limited his minutes last night to ease him back.

Leaving the freshmen guards in the game Interesting that Coach Kruger let the freshmen work thru the last 5-8 minutes of the game without freaking out and putting Grooms back in for any significant time. I think it was his attempt to help the kids "mature" and I think it was very wise. Now...

Just saw a statement in the New York Times in defense of the Kaiser foundation regarding their role in the Solyndra debacle, authored by Renzi. Then I saw his name attached to the quote on Fox News. Not a big deal, just caught my eye.

Just heard that he'll be the lead Asst for McHale with the Rockets.

Tough loss for the mildcats

I just realized that I haven't seen good ol Cheno post here in quite some time and I'm guessing I missed out on something. Did he get the boot or just leave on his own?

According to CTSooner, posting on Rivals (today), he would be "shocked" if Randle didn't end up as a Sooner and he would "be even more shocked" if Randle wasn't able to bring along 1 or 2 top 25 type players with him. He also "bets" that we'll be in the fight for the Harrison twins (along with...

I thought I could google this but haven't been able to make it happen. I need a pic of those awesome leotards the sheep humpers once wore. Thanks

EDIT: I had not read William's recruiting update from yesterday...I guess I should have started with "Per OUHoops.com" Per Rivals, we offered this kid from Raytown South (KC). Supposedly his sister is an OU grad who now lives in OKC. He has offers from Baylor, Mizzou, St Johns, UCLA, Va...

EDIT: I just noticed that this blurb is from Tuesday's KC Star...sorry New Mizzou coach Frank Haith has not set his coaching staff but said he anticipated former MU assistant Melvin Watkins would go with Mike Anderson to Arkansas rather than stay on at MU under a third different head coach...

Found this article (and sweet pic) from 2009 and while it's about KSU/UNLV agreeing to play each other, there are some nice quotes from Martin about coach Kruger. I thought some around here might enjoy reading it...

Lon Kruger and Rick Pitino are less than 1 month apart in age.

“Lon Kruger helps to set the bar for integrity in our profession. His history of success in college basketball is even more impressive when you realize he has repeatedly revitalized programs all while operating strictly within the rules. Lon is a coach’s coach. We all have something to learn...
