Chip a wa-y to win

That's great, he can go to the MAC next year and dominate against more D2 transfers.

6 of the 9 players who logged minutes for CMU yesterday were playing D2 ball last season. Two of the non-D2 guys played at powerhouse schools, Tennessee Tech and IU-Indianapolis (f.k.a. IUPUI).

Pointing out facts is not "crying." They start guys who last year were playing for Ferris State, Wayne State, IU-South Bend (which I learned existed yesterday), and Kentucky Wesleyan, and had a guy play 17 minutes who played for what used to be known as Purdue-Calumet.

If Josh Clark plays well against actual D1 players, I'll give him his due. But, I'm going to wait and see how he does against the centers from Purdue, Tarris Reed, Jr.,  and Zuby before anointing him the great Big East center.

OK, I guess I'm not allowed to say anything positive about Marquette hoops. Thanks for putting me back on the correct path,, Billy. I and others here absolutely "anointed" him - I personally said Clark would be the next Patrick Ewing, and Snoop said Clark would be the next Alonzo Mourning. That was crazy talk on our part!

So you're right: Shaka should be ashamed of himself for taking a flier on a 7-footer. Here's hoping he cuts Josh Clark tomorrow.

There. That was a close one.

Huh? I did not respond to you about Clark.

No, you responded to the Scooper who agreed with my positive and hopeful - in other words, CRAZY! - post about Clark.

I didn't see that he responded to you.

That said, I do think Shaka made a mistake taking a flier on a developmental guy, again, when he could have used it to bring in a proven commodity big man who would have filled a giant hole last season and/or this season, instead of a possible Youssoupha Mbao who was unlikely to contribute for multiple seasons and wouldn't be able to help one of the best all around players we've had since Wade left.

(I think Clark has potential to be a service able big man and is worth the scholly.)
