    Non-Xavier basketball players

    Which ones are you looking forward to seeing next year? Here's a short list off the cuff.

    -Stephen Curry Davidson He is one very special guy, and a must player on any of my all-american teams.

    -James Harden Arizona State Overshadowed last year by some other big time players in the pac-10, he apparently had a very good showing at a summer camp.

    -Tyler Hansbrough North Carolina Love him/hate him....he's a beast, and I like seeing him play. I consider him a throw-back type player.

    -Luke Harangody ND I'm biased, but I had to include him. You look at him, and he doesn't look the type, but the dude can flat out play.

    Jrue Holliday (UCLA) interests me as a young, highly recruited player who joins a solid existing team.

    Jimmie Binnie. I hear he is applying for another year of eligibility because he sucked so bad the first four years he is hoping they won't count them.

    I saw Jimmie yesterday on the north side of 275 with a lot of his orange friends.
    We've come a long way since my bench seat at the Fieldhouse!

    I'm considering hitting up the Purdue-Davidson game in Indy just to see Curry play. He had a good PG last year that graduated, so there might be a slight drop-off this year.

    Yeah, that guy was VERY underrated/under-valued. He'll be missed. However, I'm not sure it'll slow down Curry that much. That dude may never make the pros, but neither did Steve Alford.

    His dad had a nice NBA career with less game. Steve ALford played on the Western Conference Finalisr Dallas Mavericks one year stoney.

    Yeah, but he was gone shortly after, which kinda surprised me. Too bad, one of my favorite college players of all time (another one being St. Johns' Walter Berry......another OUCH).

    According to the UDPride (is that somehow a contradiction in terms?) site, Binnie has signed to play on a team in Denmark. I had no idea that traffic control was an issue there.
