At the Midnight Madness did they sell any merchandise and if so did they sell the Hyperdunks? I just want to know so that if they are I can expect the same for Syracuse.



i went to the madness, but didn't see any hyperdunks on sale. i didn't look hard, but i did walk a 360 around the merch table. that doesn't meanthey weren't sellin em in other spots.

madness was kinda a disappointment tonight... patterson looked sloppy but meeks was impressive

And is that jrellcuse?

Yes true. But I mean. You could say it has had a few "down years"

Yeah, I agree. That coincides with SJU's down years.

They're like the only "big" school in the BE who hasn't had a good year in like the past what... 5 seasons or so?

Its bad. They have become such a joke.

JEREMY TYLER, CLASS OF 2010, TO LOUISVILLE

Jeremy Tyler, a 6-foot-8, 240-pound power forward from San Diego H.S. in San Diego, California, is rated as the No. 9 player in the class of 2010 and the No. 4 power forward in the class. The five-star junior has apparently picked his new home, and he's headed to Louisville to play his college ball.


Tyler committed to Louisville.

Coach Ken Roy of San Diego H.S. confirmed to Cardinalsports.com Saturday evening that his star player had given a verbal commitment to Louisville.

Tyler made an unofficial visit to UofL in August and came away impressed with what he saw.

"It was amazing," Tyler said after the visit. "I've never seen anything like that. We went to the football game and saw all the fans there and how they treat their players. We talked to the coaches and saw how they treat everybody. It was a good trip."

Being a nationally-ranked recruit on a top-tier AAU program, Tyler had met several of the Louisville stars before.

"Earl (Clark), I know Earl and I'd talked to him before," Tyler said. "I know Terrence Williams and, of course, Samardo (Samuels). Samardo and I have met through AAU ball."

Now Tyler will get a chance to patrol the middle of the paint with Samuels in the future. Cardinalsports.com will have more on this story later this evening.

Tyler chose the Cardinals over offers from UCLA, Arizona, and others.

Daniel Orton to UK.

6-10 Daniel Orton commits to Kentucky

LEXINGTON, Ky. - The pageantry of the University of Kentucky's Big Blue Madness moved Daniel Orton, and the outpouring of affection from UK fans got his attention.

But Orton, a senior center from Bishop McGuinness High School in Oklahoma City, had made up his mind to attend UK before any of that.

Orton made up his mind on Friday, when Kansas coach Bill Self told him the Jayhawks had wrapped their 2009 recruiting with the commitment of power forward Thomas Robinson.

"Kentucky wasn't a backup plan, but it still made my decision a lot easier for me," Orton said at a news conference today at the Hyatt Regency.

Orton announced his decision at the end of his official recruiting visit to UK. He and his parents spent Friday night at Big Blue Madness, where fans chanted Orton's name. He played pickup games with the current Wildcats on Saturday.

Orton, a 6-foot-10, 260-pound center, is a five-star prospect according to Rivals.com and Scout.com, and both services rank him the No. 3 center prospect in the class of 2009.

Scout ranks Orton the No. 12 player overall in the class of 2009. Rivals ranks him No. 22.

About two dozen UK fans showed up for Orton's announcement, as did several current Cats, including sophomore big man Patrick Patterson, whom Orton said he could complement as a high-post player or replace in the low post if Patterson elects to enter the NBA Draft after this season.

"I really don't know," Orton said when asked if he expected to play with Patterson at UK. "It's his decision, but I would love to."

 

[ricardo malta]

That's a good look for Kentucky. I want them to get back to being a top 10 team.


And without further ado....

He may be full of +**$ but he might not either. Oklahoma got new unis for this season also. I'd be surprised if they do seeing that theydebuted the current ones at the 07 BE tourney.

Yea, he definitely isn't jacked...he looks huge inthat pic, though.

 

[rellbettablues]

Curtis Kelly should have never went to UConn now he has to sit a year at K State. He could have been utilized elsewhere esp. at Syracuse.
