He is the best big man in the open court with the ball. Can also finish shots that none of the other bigs can finish. Strong enough to bang with anyone. Dripping with potential. Acted immature and ran his mouth throughout the practice yesterday. His teammates weren't happy about it. Today he kept his mouth shut, and it was better for all involved. He is a tremendous talent who should blossom under a hardnosed coach like Huggins.

if they did that, the game would be too one sided, I mean they have to put cole on b*easy's team to even out the talent. If they took cole off his team, they'd have to give us an actual good player.
I'm pretty sure the game is on Wednesday. The dunk contest is usually the night before, so I'm assuming it will be on tomorrow night.BTW, Beasley and Aldrich are rooming together. Apparently they've both been talking a lot of smack back and forth.
Michael Beasley- He did less talking and more playing today and that served Beasley quite well. None of the forwards are as explosive and skilled with the basketball in the open court. He has the vision to make the pass early and also the body control to make plays late. Beasley had several fantastic finishes and passes after weaving through traffic in the open court. Perhaps his best play of the practice was when he stripped the speedy Jai Lucas of the ball in the open court.
BMW, do you really think that we care about Cole Aldrich?
csourk is the best pre-college poster on this board. way better than oxlp956
Early reports are that OJ Mayo, Jerryd Bayless, and JJ Hickson have looked like the best players on the court.
Well, if Eboss says it, then it's pretty much fact, no matter what everyone else that is there is saying.
However, it does sounds like Mayo and Bayless are out to make a statement, while Beasley is in auto-pilot mode. I'm curious to see how determined he will be Wednesday. Hell he even coasted through the game at Bramlage (according to most). Knowing his swagger and competitiveness though, if this game gets tight, Beasley will take it to the next level.

Again, we love the fact that Self offered Aldrich. Enjoy that Bennett clone.

His size and overall potential got him the top spot, according to Rivals. He's #4 according to the RSCI formula. Beasley is a great player, but I don't see him coming to college and dominating the same way as Kevin Durant. He'll probably be similar to a Thaddeus Young or Brandan Wright (15 ppg, 7 rpg) which is very good for a freshman, IMO. Do you actually believe half of the crap you post? Jason Bennett's problem isn't just the fact that he's a terrible basketball player, but he's a complete headcase. You're just pissed that Aldrich is out of his slump from last summer and is going toe-to-toe with the #1 center in the country.
