Quick Thoughts

Here are some quick thoughts. Much more analysis to follow but cant give away all my secrets, though I have not gone to the winner’s circle in three years.

Questions:

Will Wisconsin have good home-court advantage in Chicago in its second round game? If so, will it be enough to get by?

Notre Dame gets to play everybody's favorite upstart this year, Winthrop. If they get past that a hot Oregon team awaits

Virginia Tech is as athletic a team as there is. They also could lose to Illinios or beat Kansas later.

We saw Eric Maynor in action last week in winning the Colonial. Duplicate performance on Paulus and boys?

Marquette has the athleticism to give North Carolina all sorts of fits in a second round game.

Oral Roberts over Wazzou - Book it.

BYU has size and patience but not much athleticism. They may make it tough for Oden on the inside if they get past Xavier.

Virginia and Tennessee could both make some noise but will live and die by the jumper.

When Memphis does get into the second round, it will be the first time they play a good team in quite some time.

First recruit

BC got their first 2008 recruit for football, running back Isaac Johnson, from Everett, MA. I do not know too muuch about Johnson but reopening the channels to Everett high is huge. Recent players from there have been Omar Easy and Diamond Ferri who ended up at Penn St. and Syracuse. Ferri's off the field problems aside he was the difference in preventing us from a BCS berth.

This is a sign that the new coaching staff is going after all local talent with programs that they have passed on recently.
