While discussing Jimmer's NBA prospects, Colin ,as per usual, used Fredette's conference affiliation and lack of competition to argue against him succeeding. He went on by listing the best NBA players and what college they went to (or high school of course) and basically said that NBA players are made in the power NCAA conferences.
"Blake Griffin - Oklahoma, Kobe Bryant - high school, Lebron - High School, Dwight Howard - high school, Chris Bosh - Georgia Tech, Wade - Marquette. And listen, Marquette's a small school but they play in the Big East. They recruit and develop NBA talent. Marquette's a nice basketball school and Top25 program. They're like Memphis"
Obviously Colin's got a HUGE audience, and for him to go off on a 5-10 second Marquette tangent at high noon on draft day was pretty sweet. Hopefully Jimmy can find a niche somewhere and make a nice little career for himself.
"They're like Memphis." Now that's a backhanded compliment if I've ever seen one.
He also picked the brewers to win the world series, must love milwaukee ;)
And MU was in CUSA when Wade was here.
Memphis is still in CUSA, Rose went to Memphis. Colin is an idiot.
