I don't watch enough college basketball or have studied the issue well enough to give a very good answer either. However, Duke, by far, had the most McDonald's All-Americans. They had 6 compared to Kentucky's 2 and five other teams in the Sweet 16 only had one: Baylor, Ohio State, Kansas...

Wow. Could this be a watershed moment? I'm suddenly a Nebraska fan.

So glad this got written; it's still on Yahoo's front page. I wish he would have gone further and at least mentioned Budinger's excellent vertical. Nevertheless, great article. The fat guy Draymond Green is an interesting case. Izzo initially didn't offer him a scholarship, but when...

There were no great kingdoms like Greece or Rome in Sub-Saharan Africa, but Mali, Songhay, Nubia, Ghana, Axum, Medieval Ethiopia, the Swahili trading cities and even the Kongo were more advanced than most contemporary Western and Northern European civilizations in terms of government, trade...

Blatant racism. Fortunately, it only takes one coach/exec to see his talent, even if 90% of the media and 75% of the coaches/execs undervalue his talent because he is white. Although considering the history, that might actually be too hopeful.

Laettner also made an all-star team.

I think a major reason fans hate white players is that they believe they are athletically inferior. Thus, it drives them crazy seeing an "unathletic" white guy beat their team. Plus, hating most black players might seem racist so they wouldn't want to do that.

He has bust written all over him. Forgot his cleats.

I've found it interesting that there hasn't been a lot of rooting against MSU on the board, despite that they only play one white player (barely). Why do you think that is? I think it's because: 1. 2 of the past 5 years a white MSU player has been the best on the team (Paul Davis and Drew...

Excellent article from SI. Seems like a really good kid. Besides missing his family and being home sick, wonder why he was so unhappy. Wonder if any of it was racial hostility. Tough to just conclude that considering the mass exodus from U of M the past two years of many unhappy players...

He's likely #1 on the depth chart, along with Martin, because the other two receivers were involved in a fight, got suspended for the bowl game and this is a way to say, "you have to earn your way back." Since I haven't really seen Nichol play WR, there may be a chance he's better than those...

One interesting note is that backup MSU QB Keith Nichol--who at one time ranked the #4 QB prospect in America--has switched to WR. He initially played for OK, but Sam Bradford just barely beat him out. Then he transferred to MSU and Kirk Cousins--who went on to lead the Big 10 in passing--also...

Excellent article!

MSU's starting SG is also doubtful and the backup PG, Lucious, is a good shooter, yet a pretty poor ball handler for a pg. If N. Iowa can put any kind of pressure on him, I think they'll win. MSU may get so desperate, you might see their PF, Green, bringing the ball up the court sometimes. It...

Very agile and excellent touch and ball handling from the perimeter. Hope she succeeds at the next level, and if she doesn't, look forward to her modeling career! pic with former msu great Drew Neitzel Her and her coach, Suzy Merchant

Last month Jerebko got Eastern Conference rookie of the Month while averaging 10.2 ppg, 6.0 rpg and 1 spg. He's currently avg. 11.5 ppg, 7.7 rpg and 1.7 spg for March. His coach said today that he believes he should make the All Rookie team too.

Thanks and same here. I excepted an excellent 40 time, because I saw him blowing by many DBs on the field. However, the quickness times were a great surprise. White almost almost made the first guy miss with a sharp cut--often with the DB tripping over himself--but then he usually just ran in...

I had a 3.8 gpa and 26 act and before I sustained a career ending injury had received letters from multiple Ivy League schools about football, talking on the phone to one. I clearly didn't have the grades or act score, but me getting in--they said--wouldn't be a problem.And although they don't...

Amazing that a teammate could see this, but all the experts who make a living judging talent could not because they were blinded by his white skin. Ringer also voted for White as MVP in 2008, even though Ringer was the clear MVP of the team and White wasn't even the team's leading receiver. I...

I'm liking this commercial. Complete opposite of the usual corny, uncoordinated white athlete used for the butt of jokes. Maybe they've been watching Jonas Jerebko. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn38bMmcO-4&feature=player_embedded

I think RB is the least cerebral position on offense. That's a major reason white players are shut out. A coach can see how intelligence translates to success at the WR position; thus they sometimes stereotype a white WR as "just knowing how to get open," which will help the team. Thus, white...

"former" "Browns and Raiders" That tells you all you need to know about the value of his opinion.

No link yet, but heard B. White ran a 4.37 40 today.

McHoody probably just wants to see how well he can block.

You saying wikipedia had a factual error? I don't believe it. (kidding, of course)
