There are at least a few QBs that probably wouldn't be in the HOF without a championship on their resume. The utterly nauseating Joe Namath for example.

Amazing what the NY media can do for a player with marginal talent.

Well, I don't really follow the NBA until the playoffs...but I'll cite another Jeremy, as in Shockey when he was with the Giants.

Lived in NYC during Shockey's first couple of seasons. Giant friends would go on and on about how he was the NFL's best TE since Winslow...yada, yada, yada. I would tell them that if he were in the AFC West, he might be the third best in that division after Gonzales and Gates. They looked at me like I was insane.

The NY media slobbed his knob, so of course he was the best in the NFL in their minds.

So, congrats to Denmon on his All American selection. Well deserved.

QB Rating 67.5

despite the super-bowl wins, his numbers aren't good enough. he had a 15 year career for crying out loud, he averaged around 1700 yards per year, maybe 11 touchdowns and 13.3 interceptions. that, on some loaded raiders teams (where he won his super bowls). despite this, there are more than a few people who consider him a hall-of-fame QB. don't ask me, I'm not one of them.

Those numbers scream his day's version of Matt Cassel :)

Here's who has reached out to Alex Oriakhi: KY, UNC, Duke, NC St, Fla., Temple, Xavier, UCLA, Mizzou, George Mason, Va Tech, Va., Charlotte.

Do not be shocked if Missouri is among the leaders for Oriakhi. I know how much he loved playing with Phil Pressey back in the day.

UConn center Alex Oriakhi granted release from Huskies, plans to transfer for senior season

By Associated Press,

STORRS, Conn. — Connecticut center Alex Oriakhi has been granted his release from the basketball program.

The 6-foot-9 junior, a key piece of UConn’s 2011 national championship run, informed coaches last week that he planned to transfer.

His father told the Hearst Connecticut Media Group that Oriakhi made the decision because Connecticut is expected to be academically ineligible for next season’s NCAA tournament.

UConn spokesman Mike Enright said Oriakhi was granted the release on Tuesday.

Should UConn being barred from next year’s tournament, Oriakhi could play immediately at another school. If UConn is successful in appealing the tournament ban, Oriakhi would have to sit out a year before using his final year of eligibility.

Oriakhi averaged 6.7 points and 4.8 rebounds this season after averaging almost 9.6 points and 8.7 as a sophomore.

Kentucky apparently has backed off on Pollard, too.

Good news on both fronts, IMO. Mississippi State's hire as head coach could be a big factor. Pollard's mom is also retiring (she's a schoolteacher with enough years in to retire w/ full pension) and plans to move wherever he goes, so distance is probably less of a concern than before.

Best Case Scenario:
Oriakhi
Bowers
Ross
Dixon
Pressey

Would be a pretty strong starting lineup, with Pollard, Brown, Bell, Criswell, Rosburg off the bench.

Sick to think about.

Would be a great grab for the Tigers.

After being home talking to my dad (whos a big tiger guy) this last week, he is still furious about Anderson's recruiting the last year.

Otto Porter, Bradley Beal, Mclemore, and the dude from Arkansas. All from Missouri.

People tweeting me about Alex Oriakhi and MU... It's my understanding that he can't go to MU because he can't transfer to an SEC school.

I guess they'd better get his ass signed prior to June 1 then, eh?

He wasn't a marginal talent, he had terrible injuries throughout his career... his knees where toast...

Missouri’s Frank Haith is AP’s college basketball Coach of the Year

NEW ORLEANS — Frank Haith has capped his first season at Missouri by being selected The Associated Press’ Coach of the Year.

Haith took over the Tigers after seven years at Miami. He was presented the award Friday after receiving 21 votes from the 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25.

Missouri won 30 games and the Big 12 tournament and was ranked in the AP poll the entire season, reaching second for one week and third in the final poll. The Tigers were a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament but were knocked out in the first round by Norfolk State. The voting was done before the NCAA tournament.

Haith is still dealing with aftermath of an NCAA investigation into the program at Miami.

John Calipari of Kentucky and Tom Izzo of Michigan State tied for second with 10 votes each.

The only other Missouri coach to win the award was Norm Stewart in 1994.
