Here is a name you will want to know- Chris Matthews- SG Bonnies. I'll check back in with you in March when he is selected to the first or second all A-10 team.

I read that Bob Huggins will be back on campus in October for a coaching clinic... I miss hating that guy! Can we play WVU? I would like to play dueling banjos as their intro music.

Does RaShad Coleman count as rookie since he is in essence a two-year transfer?
I think Charles Dewhurst wil surprise many.
How come the St. Bonnies fan above didn't mention you picked them last?

I think Dijuan Harris is gonna suprise the league and be all conference. He's one of the more dangerous weapons we'll have on both ends of the floor !

To let that piece of crap Bob Huggins even enter the city limits of Charlotte is a travesty much less step foot on our campus without being an opponent after the criminal act he concocted with Dalonta Hill to steal Michael Beasley and set our program back a couple years.
