Even saying that is hopeful thinking.
I realize this is a highlight video, but JP is one of the smoothest high school sophomores I've seen in a long, long time.
Wow, I'm amazed at how easily he was able to finish with his left hand. It looked pretty natural for him. I was just wondering what kind of jump shot he has. I saw a few in there, but he is just so much more athletically gifted than people, that he can just get to the basket at will and doesn't need a jump shot really. The scary thing is that he is just finishing up his sophomore year. He seems to have all the physical tools and the interviews I've read from him, it makes it sound like he's got a real good head on his shoulders and his parents make sure of that.
It'd be a huge get if he would come to MU.
Oh, please, please, please!
Is it too much to ask that Roy Williams (and every other high major coach who obviously will be offering) will somehow unintentionally offend JP? Wow, that kid looks smooth. I particularly liked the one where he blocked the same shot twice (0:41, or so).

I'll agree to disagree here.

Lol, I don't think being listed first means a thing. It's still two years until he graduates, a long time to go. I saw him play at the Al this year and was very impressed, for only being a Sophomore he had a few Lebron-like blocks and dunks, alley oops. But he is a HORRIBLE shooter. I think he missed every free throw he shot, even air balling one. He needs to get his shot down, then he will be a solid recruit.
Anyways, with offers from UNC, Kansas and Duke... I hate to say it but I don't think we will see him in blue & gold... we can always dream however.

Hell, If it means he thinks of us before Buckytown, I'm happy.

We gotta get up on those corners.
McNulty: I got to ask you. If every time Snotboogie would grab the money and run away, why'd you even let him in the game?
Witness: What?
McNulty: If Snotboogie always stole the money, why'd you let him play?
Witness: You got to, this is America, man
I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase.

YES!!! Somebody's been watching season 1 of The Wire!

I'm intrigued by this show, The Wire, you mention. I've never subscribed to premium channels, and live under a rock when it comes to TV shows, so this is the first I've heard of it.
A quick googlee says it's an HBO series, but no longer in production. If I don't want to spring for the DVDs, can it be streamed on the web somewhere or is it an iTunes the only option in cyberspace?

I'll just say this, I've never (nor intend to) buy DVD's of TV shows - I just netflix them...
The Wire is a must buy

And if you buy the complete series box on Amazon, you pay only $10 more than buying the digital episodes on iTunes.

I can't put how much i love this show in words but I'll try. It's like the soprano's only if there were 10s of millions Italian gangsters that lived that way in the states.
It gives you the most realistic view of innercity drug abusers, other members of the drug culture, police investigations, gang structure, police politics, police personal and professional failings, election politics, failing unions, city hall politics, city schools, and the life cycles of the people trapped in some of these neighborhoods ever on a TV drama.
The writer spent a year following around a police homicide unit and wrote the book: Homicide. Which was later turned into the TV show Homicide and is a great read. I'm not going to tell you to buy the DVD's but netflix is 8$ a month and you can have a dvd at your house when you get home every few days and currently will give you a month free trial. Do it.

And you still managed to leave out "the media's inability to properly cover any of that."

I definitely meant to include newspaper politics in there. I loved those parts.

Join Netflix for a month or two and blast thru it. You won't be disappointed. 5 seasons, 12 1-hour long eps per season, with a little commitment you can get through it relatively quickly. I think my record on a snowy Saturday was 8 episodes during season 4.
The wire...second that.
amen
When Stringer Bell tells Brother Mouzone and Omar Little, "Get on with it, muthaf***ers." was one of the best scenes in TV history.
Also...was there a more sympathetic character than Dukie?
