Interesting theory considering I've spoken to many a person across the country who kind of sees it the other way around. They point out to me the top schools:Georgetown. North Carolina, Stanford, Duke, etc are more into Basketball while the trash like Ole Miss, Alabama, Oklahoma, Clemson, etc are more football oriented.

I know it cuts both ways but your post was so incredibly disrespectful so I figured I'd point out the other way.

Why didn't you use this Twitter feed to update us on the OC search? Using it for Basketball game updates is waste.

Maybe our basketball fans are too dumb to use a match tracker. Basketball is a simple sport for simple people.

The Basketball talk here is sick.

Dude, get over Basketball! We're back as of today in Football!

Bateman was a disaster but he was recruited by Clark, sat out a year under Clark and became eligible under Haith.

Fabio I believed would be a big nothing, but he actually was turning the corner, becoming a solid post player until he got hurt. He had a good game against UMass on the road and then at home against GT before getting hurt. He wasn't really healthy last year Haith claimed and thus didn't give us any minutes.

McGowan isn't working out as planned but he still gives us minutes.

Gamble I think will be good but is hurt.

Nass was solid until he tore his ACL. Bateman was a Clark recruit.

I wouldn't give up on Gamble so early..He was pretty decent when he was playing. And Bateman was a stopgap measure(He was crap though), Nass was starting to find his role until that freak knee injury ended his time...Anthony King was maddeningly inconsistent, but McGowan isn't giving us anything right now...

Anthony King was 100% better than Cyrus McGowan.

Why Haith continues to waste schollys on big guys like Bateman, Nass, McGowan, Gamble etc is perplexing.

Hopefully the new kid from Detroit makes McGowan expendable next season.
