Yes I agree. What does this guy have to do with Dirk or Darko? They fail too mention that for every Euro flop there have been tons of American black flops.

Numer one It will be interesting to see how the media handles this blossoming superstar who at this point might have the most potential of any athlete on the planet. Warp speed and crazy good we may have to hang our hats on guys like him. He might be the greatest athlete alive but only time...

Good draft Overall very good coming on the heels of an NFL draft that sucked big time. There are always obstacles. It is much tougher for a white player to mesh because the league is basically black and they have can be tough on whites assimilating. The Porzingis pick really pissed off...

The big 4 this year and Mike and Mike That sums it up. A good draft relatively speaking because the level of athleticism is very high and they are skilled. Hezonja and Connaughton can jump out of the gym. Porzingis is a great athlete. Dekker and White are fast moving forwards and Big frank...

Good find I remember looking him up a while back and the bad photo looked mixed race but he is white. Lets keep an eye on him at UMASS. This is what we need: Track sprinters who play football (or baseball).

Taking notes Got a little notebook for school here on the college previews.. Probably been mentioned but NC State WR Bo Hines transferred to Yale and can play this season. This is either a good thing or a bad thing time will tell.

Danilo Fuzaro A new name just emerging. He is 21 from Brazil but looks all Italian. He is 6'5" and very explosive athletically. Loves to drive and dunk and some are mentioning Ginobli as a comparison. He has until June 15 to enter the draft. Word is he gave glamour boy Andrew Wiggins a tough...

Mario Hezonja A Croat this high flying shooting guard is possibly the best pure athlete in the draft. It is tough for non white big men to emerge in American basketball with all the black ball hogs out there but hopefully with the right team etc. this super exciting player can make some big...

Kristaps Porzingis He is off the charts athletic and the sky is the limit for this power forward. Probably has the most upside of any player in the draft. He will get an early call draft day.

Combine stuff For later there are three stud European athletes primed for the draft. For now Sam Dekker and Aaron White performed little under what I thought jumping 35 inches in the vertical. Probably should be listed as above average athletes NBA standards but not off the charts. Dekker is a...

ND's Pat Connaughton just unleashed a 44 inch vertical at the NBA combine today. Now there is talk he will get drafted and might put pitching on the backburner--I hope so. Pitching hides athleticism whereas in basketball he gets to show it off. He is 6' 5" and I am sure all here will be...

Buirge is from Minn but attending Northern Illinois my mistake.

Many of these names have been mentioned here or there but I just ran into a big list. Adam Buirge-Minn -thought he was a cb but looks to be moved i guess? 4.4-4.5 Chad Artist- Utah St 4.5 Trent Irwin- Stanford--highest rated white wr--decent speed but not a burner Alex Stump-Ohio...

Leonardfan of course not. That is what the site is for. I have not done a full investigation yet of 2016 but a few things come to mind. And there could be a few juniors declaring along with Bosa. How could it be as bad as last draft and we have to try and find something optimistic to look...

Don I work 60 hours a week and do not own a computer. Plus the library in my hometown started blocking off the site about a year ago. Yes the land of the free. That said I will try and post a little more. I think the shutdown hurt along with just battle fatigue. It is an uphill climb as...

grade D draft Thanks for the comments on my rant. And all the informative guys here with the lists etc. so my quick take. Out of the two most important players only one got drafted, Davis Tull. Jordan Taylor the rangy long threat was passed over by some piss ants including half ass players from...

A nightmare beyond belief When you consider the future using ESPN, Hudl, Rivals and Scout as our guides pick a class 2016 or 2017 and beyond you see these lists of lets say top wideouts and I scroll through and see maybe one or two maybe in the top 100 or so and usually a reference is made to...

Nice primer for the draft Leonardfan!!!

Rule of thumb I think it is great to see sprinters like Mendenhall and Shinnick flash amazing speed and Brooks display high flying ability. But in most cases I want Track and Field to be their secondary sport. Unless these guys break through on the national scene and beyond ala World Track and...

McMahon The media questions his athletic ability but it is worth noting the kid has a 39" vertical! It is a good thing when big programs pick guys like McMahon.

Catfight? This ESPN cutie does come off pretty bad on this tirade. Wow personal insults anyone? That said there is only one way to settle this. Have them strip down to tiny bikinis oil them up and let em wrestle. Sorry but I couldn't help myself on this one.

Sports Illustrated This does not strike me as a coincidence. SI has gone the full hog in draft coverage this year. It is by far the most in depth look SI has ever done of the "top" 300 players with each player getting a profile. This is the most black heavy draft I can remember. Plus just about...
