How many people reading this thought they have a chance of landing Michael Beasley, Derrick Rose, or O.J. Mayo? www.rawsportsblog.com Sun, 11 May 2008 11:15:35 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/265705 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/265705 A Duke Blue Devil, one of the best perimeter defenders in the country, a slasher, and a threat in the passing lanes. Who is it? Here's a hint, it's not Greg Paulus. The player is Demarcus Nelson. www.rawsportsblog.com Sun, 27 Apr 2008 18:15:23 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/260201 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/260201 For the last four seasons, the Wisconsin Badgers have enjoyed the play of the best defender in school history, Michael Flowers. www.rawsportsblog.com Sun, 27 Apr 2008 18:11:03 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/260195 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/260195 The dribble drive motion offense ran by the Memphis Tigers this season under the leadership of point guard Derrick Rose was a success. Vance Wahlberg demonstrated the offense to Coach John Calipari who dubbed the offense, "The Princeton Offense" on steroids. This offense really opens the floor and leaves corner shooters open. This video demonstrates the drills done by the Memphis Tigers in shooting practice. For more information, go to www.basketballcoachesclub.blogspot.com.

This offense is called "The Princeton on Steroids." However, there are few similarities. On this blog, there are videos of the dribble attack offense broken down into practice segments. There are shooting drills, fast break drills and one other practice drill that resembles a transition buildup drill.

Also, Coach Calipari just inked a new deal with the school he brought to the Finals. So expect to see a lot more of Johnny C over the next few years of NCAA Basketball.

The Commercial Appeal and WPTY-TV both cited sources close to the Memphis program in reporting that Rose, who averaged 14.9 points and 4.7 assists per game in the regular season and 20.8 points in six NCAA tournament games, would declare his intent to enter the draft. The Tigers finished national runners-up to Kansas.

He joins underclassmen Derrick Rose, Jerryd Bayless, OJ Mayo, and Chase Budinger to declare for the Draft thus far. Beasley, although widely expected to go pro, did make a conscious effort to re-join the Wildcats for one more season but in the end the possibility of being the #1 pick was too much to pass up. Let the debate begin: Beasley or Rose?

It is also being widely reported that Rose will hire an agent, making it impossible to return to the Tigers and the NCAA next season. Coach John Calipari can't be happy, bt he shouldn't be surprised either, as Rose is a lock for the lottery and instant millions.

From impressive freshman like Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose, to the coaching achievements of Bobby Knight, to Tyler Hansbrough - this season had much to offer to the college basketball fanatics.

A point guard with similar inner city roots, high school championships, similar non-national power college choices, both 3rd team all american freshman years, and both bailing after their freshman year. The obvious comparison for Derrick Rose is Stephon Marbury.

This clearly happened to the Tigers last night. What's strange is that John Calipari freaked out as well and had no answers for his team when they needed him most. Calipari often referred to his team as a "dream team." After last night all that's going to be remembered of the Tigers is one big nightmare.
