It’s that time of year again for the WNBA Draft. The draft will take place at ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut on Monday, April 11, 2001. As the women’s professional league continues to develop and grow, the 2011 draft class is destined to increase fan base and command attention. The class is another example of why […]

Yesterday, I was involved in a great discussion about the NFL Lockout, which I will include a link to in a future post. I also had the opportunity to answer some questions for Marcus Shockley at Basketball Elite regarding a potential NBA Lockout and how it may affect players who are or may enter the […]
Alex Tyus is a very intriguing professional basketball prospect. He really stepped his game up when it mattered most, racking up 19 points and 17 rebounds in the Florida Gators win against BYU in the NCAA Tournament and then 14 points and 10 rebounds in a tough loss to the Butler Bulldogs. Those 19 points […]
[blackbirdpie url=”http://twitter.com/#!/SpearsNBAYahoo/status/53867750778617858″] This is interesting news, as Jason Martin is not listed as the agent for any recent Kansas basketball player who went on to play in the NBA. The Morris twins (Marcus and Markieff) are likely to be selected in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft. Tyler Honeycutt, who is leaving UCLA […]
I am going on a year long trip around the world and will not be posting any updates to this site until 4/1/2012. April Fools? It feels good to have baseball again. It is too bad that the headlines will continue to revolve around the NFL/NFLPA labor dispute. I picked one Final Four team correctly […]
A little over a week ago, I noted that recruiting for the 2011 NBA Draft is heating up. As teams have been getting knocked out of the post-season tournaments, the players who perform for those teams have either declared their intention to enter the NBA Draft or commit to staying at least one more year […]
Virginia Commonwealth University is only the 3rd team in the history of the NCAA Tournament (since it was expanded to 64 teams in 1985) to have made it to the Final Four as a #11 seed. The other 2 are Louisiana State University in 1986 and George Mason in 2006. I had the pleasure of […]
So I started slacking on keeping up with this column, but my excuse is that I was on international waters with no internet connection and plenty of margaritas. I have to at least cover every Final Four team, though. Kentucky and Connecticut have already been dealt with. All that is left is Butler and VCU. Today […]
At 9:45 p.m. EST, the Arizona Wildcats will take one the #1 seeded Duke Blue Devils (who I happen to have winning the entire NCAA Tournament). The Wildcats are no push over, though. In fact, the team has one of the best players in the nation with Sophomore Derrick Williams. The kid can flat out […]
This Friday will make or break my bracket. Going into the NCAA Tournament, I knew I would have to make a bold move in order to have a chance at winning, but I wanted to pick a team I thought legitimately had a chance of making it to the Final Four. That team is the […]
