I don't think anybody will ever question Calipari's recruiting. Now game management in the final seconds of an NCAA Championship when you're winning? That's something else...

WHAT? NOVA!!! Cmon Tyreke. Your Dad knows the guy very well, its a catholic school, what more could you want?!?!

You could go to Duke and join the 10 McD's they have there and still suck. Sorry boys......there are impact players that dont make this All Star team.

If any memphis fans think this guy is going to replace Derrick Rose and you are not going to miss a beat. You are big time wrong!

Heard he changed his mind and going to play for Calhoun. Better chance get him to NBA as high pick

This kid can flat out play. He has a man's body and plays very mature for a young kid. He always seems in control. He tends to fall in love with his jumper but when he goes to the rack he is like Lebron at the HS level.

Their poor free-throw shooting finally bit them in the ****.
It happens...in the 2003 Final, KU missed 18 at the charity stripe, and lost by 3.

In a game that close there's no reason to hold onto timeouts. He could have called a timeout and told his team to make sure they foul and don't let them get off a 3. Or called a timeout and tried to regroup his players while they kept missing free throws. Or, even called a timeout after Chalmers made that 3. He got outcoached at the end. The players missed free throws but he could have done more as well.

jj730 | 04/16/08, 10:27 AM

jj730 ... couldn't agree more. Cal' blew it. When it came down to the wire, we were shocked that Chalmers even got off a 3-point attempt. A tremendous coaching blunder, one of the worst I've ever witnessed. Happy with the outcome though, must admit.

He will succeed Rose well.

If McDonald's had an MVP, who would it be? Ronald? The Hamburglar? That Purple thing? John Kruk?

Memphis huh? I wonder if he choose it for the academ....

Oh, never mind...

By-the-Sea | 04/16/08, 03:01 PM

he should have picked nova would have played in the Big East and under a coach that realllly understands guards in jay wright, he would be joining scottie reynolds, corey fisher and corey stokes, he would get to play games at the wachovia center where his brother and legal guardian reggie evans plays for the sixers and he would be close to home...picking memphis was stupid rose douglas roberts and dorsey are all gonna leave and hes gonna be all by himself like oj mayo going to usc where there was no other talent...he should have picked nova but would rather be the only guy at memphis than share the spotlight with scottie reynolds at nova...selfish

Not only that, Roy waited to press after getting down double digits.

UConn is an NBA pipeline, but they never seemed to be much in the running. Memphis is a good pick for him, so he can play his style in Cal's offense. I dont think he will be as good as Rose, because Rose was unbeliebable at the point. Memphis is still going to be a top 5 team next year, and Evan's commitment could also affect where fellow 5-star recruit Devin Ebanks goes. There is a good possibly that Ebanks will go to Memphis now that Evans is there, and now that line-up will be scary good

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING RIGHT NOW !!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BABY
Willie kemp
Tyreke Evans
Antonio Anderson
Shaun Taggert
Robert Doizer
baby

b_ball_star_1 | 04/16/08, 07:18 PM

Tyreke Evans!I guess the loss of Rose won't be so big after all.

"Cincy" it hurts | 04/16/08, 07:29 PM

The pieces are falling into place now. Two other top 20 recruits are waiting to see where Evans would go so they would follow. So now Memphis will get Witherspoon and Devin Ebanks along with two other highly touted freshmen in
Angel Garcia and Matt Simpkins. Even though they are losing Rose, CDR and Dorsey, they will be super scary again with the new guys and the others that are returning. Cal is getting Memphis to be the college NBA development team.
Super athletes that only stay one year and bolt to the NBA first round.
