Unfortunately, Anton Grady has had three knee surgeries. I've had three knee surgeries. I'm betting he can jump higher than me, but I'm also betting after having three knee surgeries, it's probably not much (and I can't jump).

I don't know whether Ahmed Mohammed or Anton Grady would be better for us, Grady has disappeared in big games last year and Mohammed is a crap shoot.

I'm for whomever HCGM wants.

Any idea how many knee surgeries Russell Westbrook has had?

[shocka khan]

He's had 3, but one was to repair a loose stitch. I wouldn't count that. I bet Anton's surgeries were a little more serious than to repair a loose stitch.

Also, and it doesn't look good for him, looks like he's had them in pretty quick succession. Even if he gets back to 100%, I'd hate to be him when he's my age.

You can get some great deals at TJ Maxx.




I've heard.

Particularly if you spend the night at Holiday In Express.

[WUs Your Daddy]

If it's on the Internet, we've heard of them.

Don't be so sure.

We've done really well with our D-1 transfers. Our JUCO's are sometimes hit or miss. You can get a Tevin, or you can get a Cle or Carl.

That's not really hit and miss, is it? Cle was a two-time NJCAA Division III Player of the Year and an NJCAA All-American. Carl Hall was a first-team JUCO All-American. Tevin Glass was ... All-Panhandle Conference. Those resumes are incredibly different. We knew what we were getting with Glass. He was a miss, but not a gigantic letdown, because we had already missed by having to recruit him in the first place.

If we're grabbing JUCO AAs or high school top 150 recruits, we know what we're getting. If we're getting fringe recruits -- all-conference JUCO guys, lightly regarded high school recruits, average D1 transfers -- then they're all going to be hit and miss, regardless of where they're from.

Well said!

Our JUCO all-americans have been hits. When we dip below that bar, they've been misses, or works in progress, some exceptions of course. I would prefer we stick with the all-american cailber based on our experience.

All-americans: Ragland, Ben Smith, Cle, Carter, Wiggins, Carl Hall

What was the Common denominator when we recruited great jucos... Chris "spank me Barry'' Jans

[wufan]

He was the common denominator for all of our JUCOs under HCGM. Zero signed this far. SubGod has to be loving it!

[Wuzee]

Not All-Americans: Clemente, Griskenas, Anacreon, Lufile, Smith, Wamukota, Glass...pretty strong overall.

Minor correction: Griskenas and Smith were first and third team AAs respectively.

Thanks! Should have looked it up.

And our transfers have been Armstead, Coleby & Joe Mitchell. And I'd have a hard time counting Joe since he never once played in a WSU uniform. Help me out if I'm missing D-1 transfers under Marshall. But I still think we're batting a better percentage at Transfers than we are at JUCO's, which is what I was getting at.
