No surprise here given that former Duke piece o'crap Tommy Amaker is now the coach at HAAAvard

May 30, 2008  09:38 AM ET

Makes sense.

And in other news, Bobby Hurley's 3rd cousin by adoption just won the intramural table tennis championship at Santa Clara Community College.

Seriously, this is news?

Breaking News......

Brian Davis and Marty Clarke are going to be Amaker's assistants!

Seriously, is this what passes as sports journalism these days. If the kid is 6''8 and 225 and only getting looked at by Harvard, he must be terrible.

what do you guys want? It's the off season and news is slow

May 30, 2008  12:38 PM ET

I always like to see how stories like this play out.

Perfect360 - I think I already saw the Bobby Hurley cousin story on SportsCenter this morning.....

There are probably several hundred high school hoops players who are better than this guy getting looked at by bigger programs than Harvard, yet this guy gets headlines because he's Laettner's nephew?

And how could it be a slow news day? Baseball's in full swing, the Lakers won the Western Conference Finals last night, the Celtics have a chance to do the same in the Eastern Conference Finals tonight, Game 4 of the Stanley Cup is tomorrow and the Pens showed signs they're not going to roll over for Detroit, not to mention the NBA draft is less than a month away. There's plenty of things to talk about that are more newsworthy or rumor worthy than this.

Um yes, I would say that is the ONLY reason. By they way, when is the picture from? 1994?

No - No - No - Keno needs you at P.C. !!!

Got a small blurb in the local St. Paul paper about it. How it ends up here who knows!?!?! Kid is ranked #50 in the nation by scout.com at PF. He won't likely end up at Harvard!

This kid is Laettner's WIFE's nephew. He has two blood related nephews who live in Atlanta.
