It's not "BleacherReport." It's "this guy that submitted an article to BleacherReport." You'll get four articles on BR within an hour of each other that all contradict one another.
I will give the author credit in that article for being more knowledgeable about our roster for next season than any ESPN analyst not named Jason King, though.Originally posted by BleacherReportFred VanVleet on Shockers' 3-Pt Shooting Confidence -- ' Honestly, I just tell these guys to let their nuts hang.'

I think before everyone starts labeling us the Gonzaga of the Midwest, we need to make the Dance 15 years in a row, get nationally televised games with the big dogs and make some noise by winning some key non con games. We are off to a good start with the GM regime, but Gonzaga has a big head start on us. I'm confident that as long as GM stays, we'll no doubt eventually earn that moniker or perhaps establish a different standard for a non-bcs program.

Originally posted by shockmonster View PostYeah, What's this guy thinking? It would have been better for us if he hadn't written the article flattering WSU.
I have no respect for their website. Whether the contributions are positive or negative about us, it doesn't change my opinion. I'm glad the recent ones have been positive, because if anything BR reflects the point of view of average basketball fans (because they're not journalists ...) which shows we're getting more respect from the average fan, but other than that ... meh.
I could write for BR if I chose to. I can't write for ESPN, FoxSports, CBS, SI, etc.Originally posted by BleacherReportFred VanVleet on Shockers' 3-Pt Shooting Confidence -- ' Honestly, I just tell these guys to let their nuts hang.'

Originally posted by MadaboutWu View PostGU's string of appearance is impressive, but its reputation was really built between 1999-2002 when they had an elite 8 run and two sweet sixteen runs. ... The immediate question is will we go the VCU/Butler route of building on success or the George Mason one.
