White Boys Can Shoot

Cornell, St. Mary's, Leuer, Bohannon, et al. are lighting it up.

Got to watch a couple Cornell games on tv this year. They have been good ALL season. They made the tourney last year and didnt graduate a single player so they all have experience. I made the ballsy decision in my bracket for them to beat Kentucky. Praying that a bunch of white, Ivy kids can send Calipari packing. What a sight that would be!

Will Buzz ever recruit a white kid that will play four years and have a legit role?

[Ready2Fly]

Talent trumps race. Why would Buzz (or anyone else) whether or not we have white boys on the team? Carson Desrosiers was a high priority recruit for this class, so I don't think Buzz is actively NOT recruiting "white boys."

Yeah--the one we have Frozena can really stroke it!

[Stronghold]

Because all of those people are so much better shooters than Wesley Johnson

[Ready2Fly]

Or DJO...

Sounds like the 1966 NCAA Championship game in a Bizarro World. You know the one, where Don Haskins' Texas Western team (all black players) beat Aldoph Rupp's Kentucky team (all white players, including Pat Riley).

Maybe we should forget the Bigs and just recruit only white guys.

Now you're on to something. Or how 'bout a big, white boy who can shoot?

Brett Roseboro was almost on our team.

.. It is striking, some of these teams, all or mostly white kids.  Watching so many MU and BE games, you'd think coaches who have so many white guys just "can't get better players" or something.  -- Then they go and shoot lights out, defend and rebound great, and win .. and turn the race question upside down.

All of these teams have experienced  multi-dimensional bigs, guards that don't turn the ball over, and shooters.    And they all have one shot because other than Gonzaga, this level is nearly impossible to maintain year in and year out at a mid-major school.   Congratulations to all. 

[4everwarriors]

Well, we had 1 out of 3 and that's why we are sitting home.

[tower912]

2 out of 3.   We could handle the ball and shoot it.    Put MacFarland from Wake or JaJuan Johnson on this team, both guys that Crean finished second on, and we go to Indy.
