Posts: 16 04/11/08 8:41 AM	By the way, here's some video of Evans for those that haven't seen it yet: http://vmedia.rivals.com/uploads/907/630849.mov Quick first impressions: Very long and lanky athlete. A body similar to Rodney Williams a little bit. Shows the ability to elevate and finish around the basket. Is a very good athlete, although not quite at Williams' level (who is though really). Hard to tell on jump shot as video is very small. Does show ability to put ball on the floor also. I think with a redshirt year and 10-15 pounds on his frame he will be able to contribute. If he develops his offensive game and skill set he has the physical tools to be very good. An intriguing prospect to say the least. By the way, I'm not sure if I mentioned it before but in an interview with the Badger Herald Ryan says he is 6'7'' now and thinks he might grow another inch or two. So he could end up around 6'7''-6'8'' with excellent athletic ability. Maybe a Ray Nixon type body but hopefully with a more diverse game, especially attacking the basket.

One Love, Eddy! One Love. ba07, this might have been your finest post on this site. It actually made me laugh out loud. Accusing BigEddy of spewing hate is comical. However, I hope you aren't ever trying to run for said mayoral position in Wausau. This post could easily be used in a smear campaign by said Woodchucks as evidence of your dangerous and excessive drug use, as clearly, you had to be high when you wrote this. How would the citizens of such an upcoming area ever put their trust is somebody who posted this on a message board? For shame.

Posts: 1379 04/17/08 10:47 AM Jimmy Rabbitte	An article on Ryan Evans from today's Cap Times including comments from the Badger coaching staff. http://www.madison.com/tct/sports/282011 A couple of quotes that stuck out to me. Also, Evans' charismatic personality reminds the Wisconsin staff of Alando Tucker. "He's more outgoing than Alando was when he was a freshman," said UW assistant Greg Gard. "His personality is A-plus. You're going to love him. He's very articulate, a very sharp kid." "The thing is, you see a kid like this with grades and charisma and character and work ethic. You saw what he did: He made himself a player," said Moore. "He's a kid ... that you know is nowhere near his potential. When you get a kid like that, you can't pass him up. You can't worry what's down the line. You worry about that when it gets there. For right now, we feel we just got a pretty good player." "Discovering late-bloomers, individuals with their best basketball in front of them and finding student-athletes who understand what type of commitment it takes to be successful both academically and athletically at Wisconsin have always been key components of our recruiting strategy and we feel Ryan will really develop into a very good player with continued hard work," said UW's Ryan in a statement. Those comments are all I need.

"Discovering late-bloomers, individuals with their best basketball in front of them and finding student-athletes who understand what type of commitment it takes to be successful both academically and athletically at Wisconsin have always been key components of our recruiting strategy...." Every once in a while I get the itch to question the talent level of our recruits. Seeing Bo's words from this piece makes that impulse laughable and reminds me that these ARE the good old days. We have one of the best coaches in the game in every respect possible.

Every once in a while I get the itch to question the talent level of our recruits. Seeing Bo's words from this piece makes that impulse laughable and reminds me that these ARE the good old days. We have one of the best coaches in the game in every respect possible. Juxtapose that with the following excerpt from an article about Calipari's recruitment of Top Ten rated Tyreke Evans: _____ Evans won't say that he's one year at Memphis and done but he doesn't deny he'll stay in college only as long as it takes to get his game ready for the NBA. On his first visit, Calipari came to Evans' Chester, Pa., home with an eight-step plan for Evans to achieve that dream. "It was eight things you need to do to get to the next level," Reggie Evans said. "I can't remember all of them, but I remember one was about body language. I remember us talking about how Tyreke can be so smooth, it can be misunderstood for being lazy. Honestly, I think that sold Tyreke." ____ Nothing about helping him mature into a man, go to classes, become a better human being. Just make it to the show. I'm glad that we have a coach and a program that remembers what the true goal of athletics at a university is all about. "Every point our opponent scores, there will always be some blood spilled." - Trevon Hughes

Shake off all fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God, because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. - Thomas Jefferson

Posts: 486 04/18/08 6:23 PM	"Bo has shown he knows what he's doing. This kid is a late bloomer, as others have noted." Actually it was Howard Moore that got onto this kid on a rec from a friend. He went to Zona and was blown away then sold him to Bo. So yes, Bo likes him a lot. He's got a perimeter shot which is probably a result of being a late bloomer and needed it to compete with the bigger more mature guys. As for redshirting, not many guys redshirt in hoops. Wouldn't be surprised if he showed up for practice at about 185, big enough.

One Love, Eddy! One Love. I really did enjoy your little rant. It was a bit rambling, and a trifle nonsensical. It was also consistant, and illustrated my point better than any third rate country bumkin such as myself could ever illuminate. Unless the point of your retort was just having fun. Thats fine. I don't plan on participating in the "upcommin" so whatever "skeletons" I have not already spewed on my own on Buckyville or BM. I hearby grant you exclusive rights to them. I would love to read the sordid details of my scandalous life....Such as it is. Perhaps that could keep me up after 9:00PM, weekends included. So, In closeing. I would also like to extend the love to you Buckyalum, much like my old dog did to his fav pillow, or Portnoy did to his pound of Liver. I'm not complaining. ****************** She likes Milk. I like Beer. -Willie
