[Pat Coleman]

Shouldn't an event have to be played at least once before we call it prestigious?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Yeah.  You know, we might want to make sure that some of these guys will actually show up as well before we go with prestigious.

IWU's Zach Freeman is also on the list.

[Ralph Turner]

I really like Miss College's Timothy Broomfield.   

[David Collinge]

I really like Miss College's Timothy Broomfield.   

Gee, Ralph, do you think he likes you?  Maybe you should pass him a note after gym. 

[diehardfan]

I'm just having fun that Amir Mazarei is on the list. Though he is definitely not quite 5'11" and he's probably not got much chance at anything after college because of that, I like the props for a great college player.

And no, I've never passed a note down to the bench for him David.

A short white guy like me with 7" vertical leap? 

[D O.C.]

Now I'd really like to see USWP play with no one on that list.

[Pat Coleman]

Gonna bump this so it's on the top screen again.

[Greek Tragedy]

Now I'd really like to see USWP play with no one on that list.

Point usually plays outstanding team ball.  They are a very good team.  With that said, had this thing been put together two years ago, Jason Kalsow would definitely be on that list, IMO.

[David Blaine]

I would love to know how Tom Port makes this list over Tim Vandervaart. Granted he has an injury for most of the year, but Vandervaart is clearly the better player, especially in crunch time. When Wooster needed a basket, option #1 was Vandervaart, #2 Cooper, and #3 Port. Maybe its because Vandervaart is undersized for his position and Port would be a better prospect overseas? Any thoughts on this?

[Pat Coleman]

I think this thing is all about projected professional ball, yeah. Port has the size and ballhandling skills to play a guard spot.

I think that's why Kerry Gibson got an invite.  He has the size and ball handling skills to play the guard spot as well.
