He will recruit one and done guys but prefers not too. If a guy shows in one season that he's ready to go, he'll counsel them to go.

Has any player's stock fallen more from the time they enrolled to the time they finished than Greg Paulus?

They need two things. They need a post presence. Doesn't have to be a great player but someone that can at least make the defense pretend to respect their inside game. Several times tonight, I saw them have all five guys at least 15 feet from the basket and four of them outside the three-point line. They also need a point guard that can take his man off the dribble and create. At this level, they have to work entirely too hard to get shots because all of the defenders are out there staying home on their men because they have nobody that commands even the occassional double team down low and nobody that can beat his man and make the defense scramble and get out of position.

I'm extremely disappointed because as much as I love Duke, even when they rose to #1, I knew this team was overrated and would have a hard time making it past the Sweet 16.

He should have played football. He was the NATIONAL Player of the Year...

If Mizzou can make a couple upsets happen and win their next two games... and if cuse takes care of business tonight... I could be real close on the ESPN bracket... ranked 99.02%.

knock on wood.

I think Syracuse is a terrible matchup for them. They can even throw Joseph in there if they need to for some cheap fouls on Griffin. I have a feeling he's going to be mighty sore tomorrow.

Considering I have West Virginia in the Final Four in that region I will definitely be rooting for Arizona all the way to the Final Four.
