Pretty funny stuff, especially on the eve of Lopez going pro.

I remember seeing him shred up the NCAA as a point guard and his playing career ended way too early. In the meantime, he spent 10 years as a Duke assistant learning from the best coach in the biz (sorry Duke haters). I would contend that Johnny Dawkins put Coach K on the map - it is fitting to see him get a shot at the big time.

Well, if this news is accurate, that's a huge step up from Johnson both in name and basketball IQ. This is still a very weak rumor, but I think it's not completely out of the realm of reality. Brown has tried to return to the sideline in the NBA but nobody is taking the bait, so perhaps a nice college job would do? Your thoughts?

And like Juan Dixon several years ago, one Maryland alum will still be local.

Johnson has been at Stanford as the head coach for 4 years now, but was an assistant when he first started coaching. It seems to be an odd decision, except for the fact that LSU will pay him more and he won't have to deal with the academic restrictions Stanford has. Still, leaving Stanford for LSU seems a bit of a step down, as Stanford is always a Pac-10 contender and LSU is much of an afterthought in basketball. Your thoughts?

No more watching the Terps on the court - even when they play badly, that's sad news. Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:52:11 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/226352 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/226352 After just two seasons and one NCAA Tourney appearance, Brook and Robin Lopez will forgo their final two years of eligibility and enter the NBA draft. The decision is final. Both have made moves to hire an agent, but stated they would at some point go back and earn that useless degree from Stanford. Trent Johnson gave his blessings, but you know he's cursing himself to sleep tonight as he realizes that after finally getting Stanford back to the top of the Pac-10, he's got to start all over again. They'll also be losing seniors Taj Finger, Fred Washington, and Peter Prowitt.

Stanford sophomore Robin Lopez is joining his 7-foot brother Brook in entering the NBA draft. The brothers made their announcement to The Associated Press on Monday through mother, Deborah Ledford. Brook and Robin Lopez were celebrated recruits when they arrived at Stanford, helping lead the Cardinal to the Sweet 16 as sophomores. Brook became Stanford's go-to guy, averaging 16 points per game. Robin was a defensive presence, averaging over 2 blocks per game. It was expected that Brook would declare himself eligible for the NBA, but Robin was not so certain. They were prep stars in Fresno, Calif., and came to Stanford together. Now they will depart as a tandem, too.

Joey Dorsey or Derrick Rose? Brandon Rush or Darrell Arthur? Damion James over Robin Lopez? You decide (hey, it's an election year).

But who had the single most outstanding performance in the Sweet 16? Who deserves the honor of being the 'Sweet 16 Workhorse?'
