Nothing earth shattering, but I guess I thought it was worth posting since it shows what a highly respected opposing coach thinks of McNeal and James NBA prospects.

nice to hear.  Thought the music on the webpage was a little strange but w/e.

he called JM a "slasher on both ends".  Was that a dig on his D?  Calling him dirty, maybe?

Slasher is a reference to how he attacks the hoop on the offensive end and D's up on the defensive end. It's a compliment.

I often have heard "slasher" on D as being a guy who reaches, that's why I wondered.  No big deal, just thought it sounded funny.

From the Blog:



5 toughest places to play:

            *McArthur Court (Oregon)

            *Allen Field House (Kansas

            *Rupp Arena (Kentucky)

            * "The RAC" (Rutgers)

            *O'Connell Center (Florida) - yes they do sell out

            *Have not been to Duke, Michigan State, or
              Gonzaga.

I think MU needs to step up and find a way to make this list
