Wow really has gotten stronger and is an offensive rebounding dynamo.

He should be by now as its like his 8th year in college.

Going to be a tough game at home.
 
It will be for sure but he is getting free passes for offensive boards. UConn bigs aren't doing any blocking out. On another note, Kilicli is still serving up those hook shots!

So ugly but somehow effective.
 
Didn't we pass Jones up? I seem to remember hearing somewhere that we could have had him in an Orange Uni.
 
Right now? Absolutely. No brainer

Yes right now but I wouldn't doubt in the end either. WVU has probably played above what was expected more so than most. Jones is a huge reason why.

I think he will win it too. Just a head scratching blowout loss to Seton Hall they had. This is a pretty good team.

West Virginia should be allowed to keep Kilicili on their roster as long as he keeps the beard. As noted by Raftery, he's just too perfect for this program.

Dude looks like he is 35 years old.
 
Drummond playing well. Big guy moves well and is explosive. Gonna be fun to see him and Fab go at it.

Raftery is my favorite. Witty, concise, conversational. I'd love to have a few beers with the guy.

I think we have beat that horse dead a few times. That's why they say recruiting is like dating: some like Blondes, some like Brunettes and some like Redheads. Some like all three, but unfortunately there is only so many beds at the inn.

I was at a wedding where he was also a guest a few years back. Needless to say he was feeling no pain.

My favorite regarding him was when he and Sean McDonough were doing the 6OT game. In the last OT, like at 2AM:

Raftery: "I'm going to go out after this and get some eggs. Anybody wanna go get some eggs after this?"

McDonough: "I know where you're going and it's not to get eggs!"

Seton Hall is a pretty good team...notwithstanding the way we blew them out.
They came right back and beat WVU, UConn & Providence.

People are saying the BE is weak...but it seems more that there is a lot of balance top to bottom.
More than any other year...every team is capable of beating any other team.
Right now...we're the only team that seems to be a cut above.
But we'd better watch out regardless of who we're playing.
 
I'm perfectly happy with the player we chose ahead of him.

From what I recall, we were still going after Kevin and Mookie when Joseph committed. I also recall the lean here (over at Scout) being considerably more tilted in favor of Mookie than Kevin. Mookie committed to SU after KJones verballed to WVA.

raftery, mcdonough and bilas i think are hands down the best in the business. they play off each other so well and are very informed and humerous, they can make any game worth watching

The Cuse had the first option of choosing Kevin or Mookie [ The Jones Boys ].

Options ! -- Like Yoge Berra once said ," I came to the fork in the road , and I took it !!!!

Clearly we got the wrong Jones.
