Haven't written anything here since the Falcons signed Dunta Robinson. I wrote back in January about the cornerback issue and how an instant upgrade had to be made. I think TD and company are happy with the CB situation now with Robinson, Williams, Jackson, Grimes, and Owens. This signing gives the Birds more flexibility in the draft and makes it easier to trade down, which I still think is a goodg idea...
Looks like Jeremiah Masoli will be suspended for all of the 2010 season. The Ducks looked like a preseason top 5 team, but will have to go with Costa now. At least there will still be a laptop stealing quarterback getting some action this fall. Cameron Newton looks like the new starter at Auburn...
How good has Josh Smith been this year for the Hawks? As of last week, he and LeBron were the only two players in the NBA that ranked in the top 50 in the league in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals...
It is just too bad the Hawks haven't been able to make any kind sustained run after a fast start. Since beating Utah at home just before Christmas, the team is a mediocre 22-16. Most of the problems can be attributed to 4th quarter collapses where the team looks lost in half-court sets and the Johnson/Smith/Crawford trio just stand around and settle for bad shots...
I blame that on the coach, FWIW...
Congrats to David Boyd, who won his 5th Georgia High School boys basketball state championship at his 4th different school. The Milton team that wore down Westlake last night is mostly made up of juniors and could be the nations best high school team next year...
Selection Sunday tomorrow and three of the #1 seeds appear to be locked in: Duke, Kentucky, and Kansas. Does Syracuse earn the final spot because they were the best team all year in the best conference? Or will the committee look at the 2 game losing streak and the Onuaku injury and give the spot to Purdue or Ohio State?
I think several teams played their way in yesterday. San Diego State should be a lock now after knocking off UNM. Washington reaching the Pac 10 final probably means both Cal and Washington get in the tourney. Georgia Tech is now in after beating Maryland to reach the ACC semi-finals. Illinois is now back to bubble status after beating Wisconsin and probably need to play Ohio State close today to have a shot. I am not sure how the SEC teams will shake out after MSU knocked off Florida. Ole Miss will probably be left out after losing yesterday, but I wouldn't be shocked if both MSU and UF make the field...
Georgetown looks like they can beat anyone after the way they have played in the Big East tournament. They have several athletic big guys and when Freeman and Wright are knocking down shots, they are very tough to beat. If they win the Big East tourney, the Hoyas are most likely looking at a #3 or #4 seed. I would not want my team to get a #1 seed and see Georgetown as the #4 in their region...
Conference USA championship game on now, let the games begin...
