Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

Nice piece on Derek Willis




http://www.jconline.com/article/20110707/SPORTS02010201/107070328/Purdue-recruit-heeds-father-s-basketball-lessons

And I hope this can end the non-sense, baseless and unnecessary speculation that Willis may decommit:

"...While some college coaches continue to contact the Bullitt East staff about Willis, the player's father said Derek is firm on his commitment.

"I don't see that changing," Del Willis said. "Right now, he is really excited about Purdue. The program fits him perfect, just like he fits the program.""

bout damn time

we got one from kentucky. they can have marquis teague. I ’d gladly have willis over teague. I mean part of me would like to have a team of all Indiana HS kids but it helps to get a few kids from out of state.

Teague represents all that is wrong witht he NBA right now

He is a shoot first guard that does not have a shot. He’ll be just fine as a one and done.

This quote

“He just turned 16. It’s kind of scary how he is still growing. He doesn’t have any hair on his body, so he could be a legit 7-footer when it’s all said and done.”

Did this make anybody else feel kinda dirty after reading the article about a 16 year old kid regardless of how awesome he will be?

Pretty Creepy

Is body hair a common metric in rating the potential of high school prospects?

Reminds me of Jerry Jones who was asked about the talent level of the Cowboy team he had just purchased. Jerry replied, “I don’t know, but they sure look good in the shower”.

Yeah I found that extremely creepy.

Glad I’m not the only one.

YES!

I’ve almost never seen a report like that.

BEAR in mind......

I remember when getting body hair was the most important thing in the world……….now I can do a comb over from my back!

I was wondering what username my old roomate posted under...

Are you still clogging shower drains with that backhair as frequently as you did on South Chauncy?
