there's no "regional cover curse"

Demetrius Walker, the kid who SI claimed was the next Lebron, is close to decommitting from USC and is making an official visit to ASU this weekend for the homecoming FB game and the BB game

http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1104412/index.htm

11/13/2008 4:32:21 PM

he's no Lebron now, but it'd still be a good pickup. Any reason for the decommit?

11/13/2008 4:54:05 PM

mom got a job in PHX, so now he might want to stay close to home

sounds shady, but apparently it's legit. ASU had totally taken him off the radar, but I guess didn't end communication

let's hope he isn't too cocky and is a good student...otherwise he and Herb wont get along

11/13/2008 4:58:27 PM

GAME TIME!!!!!

let's see some fun-n-gun offense

11/14/2008 10:18:02 PM

More like sleep-n-weep!

Or snore-n-bore!

Or snooze-n-lose!

and heeeeerrreeeee we go!!!!

11/14/2008 10:24:35 PM

Brick. Rebound. Brick. Rebound. Brick. Rebound.

11/14/2008 10:32:31 PM

yeah, the rebounding is looking bad


REALLY BAD!

11/14/2008 10:34:48 PM

Harden is fucking sick... he might be the best player in the country if he can consistently go right.

I'm going to watch them a lot just to see him play this year...

11/14/2008 11:18:08 PM

he has a lot of fun on the court

i love guys who know they're awesome, but still play like they're on a blacktop

11/14/2008 11:27:06 PM

good win

11/15/2008 12:26:16 AM

San Diego State tomorrow night at 11pm

2nd meeting of RHSFC. first meeting was kind of a bust (only 2 members and one honorary member were in attendance).

11/17/2008 9:37:09 AM

they. suck. dude.

11/17/2008 9:38:43 AM

Ill be rooting for Herb's squad, and I want them to do as well as my Wolfpack do. I may of hated his coaching abilities but I think he was a very sound guy and one hell of a recruiter. Much luck to you this season Herb and ASU.

no way they're a 2 seed.

11/17/2008 4:34:16 PM

nah, just trying to spark some good debate with BigpackpridejunkieEgo

11/17/2008 4:40:29 PM

We won't even be a 2-seed in the NIT so why argue?

11/17/2008 5:00:50 PM

off topic:

I think State will surprise some people this year. might just sneak into the Bracketology talk

11/17/2008 5:15:43 PM

well there's already talk of sneaking into talk.

after the UNO game though, i have very low expectations for this year.

11/17/2008 5:16:45 PM

if the ACC gets 7 teams in this year, State will be one of them

quote me later

"5. Is the Princeton Club on the decline? In Grant Wahl's epic piece on the Princeton offense in 2003, he listed 26 (out of 326) Division-I teams running some form of the scheme. That's 8.0 percent, a 2.7 percent difference from our 2008 rate. It's also possible that Princeton principles still exist at the same rate, but the term has acquired negative connotations on the recruiting trail. Vanderbilt and Nicholls State, both of whom run Princeton-y offenses, reported theirs as "motion" and "five-out motion," respectively. And Arizona State, whose coach, Herb Sendek, figures prominently in the lede of Wahl's '03 story (for adopting the Princeton at NC State), made a point to say that Sendek is no longer running Carril's offense in Tempe. Sendek is just a motion-offense/3-2 zone defense guy now."

i gotta wait 5 more hours?!?!?!

11/18/2008 6:07:35 PM

well, I just found out that Demetrius Walker signed his LOI for ASU this morning!

WOW! That's a huge get for Herb. What a great recruiter!

11/18/2008 6:58:04 PM

aside from his article in SI, how is that a huge get?

11/18/2008 8:43:13 PM

Offers from U of A, USC, UT, Memphis, Cal and he fell into Herb's lap. His momma got a job in PHX, he goes to HS there now and he wanted to stay there. Herb basically out-recruited Grand Canyon State and Maricopa CC. He was hurt a lot his first couple of years of HS. Hard to say if he'll be average or a star...

11/18/2008 10:39:38 PM

and apparetly he hit his growth spurt early and was 6'4" by his freshman year. they thought he might get to 6'8"+ so his coaches trained him to play the 4

so now he's going to have the skill set of a 4 in the body of a 2/3

perfect in Herb's positionless offense

11/18/2008 10:57:41 PM

1-1 on the year.

NIT!

11/18/2008 11:20:50 PM

HORRIBLE START!

11/19/2008 12:01:59 AM

schadenfreude

11/19/2008 12:07:53 AM

season's over

horrible effort. no flow what so ever. stupid fouls. pitiful

11/19/2008 12:08:32 AM

2-0

great road win, but LOTS of work to do!

i'm really worried about the Charlotte and Baylor games coming up

11/19/2008 1:03:58 AM

LOL i guarantee if they had lost last night, we'd be on page 5

11/19/2008 9:47:03 AM

You gotta quit talking to yourself on this thread. At least not consecutive posts on the same game.

11/19/2008 10:22:03 AM

i would have edited, but it was too late

11/19/2008 12:56:27 PM

just learned that Johnny Coy, freshman forward from the Kansas City area, will be redshirting this year

i guess his body just isn't quite there yet. but he was drafted by the Phillies and will be playing for the top-ranked Sun Devils baseball team. so maybe he'll take the Brackman route

11/20/2008 7:33:08 PM

yea i get it... where have i been

but these fuckers are ranked??!!?!

such bullshit... i still hate you herb

11/21/2008 12:08:51 AM

21 point win over Pepperdine

Harden with 33 points and 11 boards

for much of the 2nd half, he was outscoring their entire team

You are such a dumbass.

11/23/2008 6:10:38 PM

he's a modern day julius hodge, a shooting guard who shoots 16% from 3 but 59% overall to go along with tons of assists.

11/23/2008 8:19:02 PM

I love me some Julius. saw him play easily 50 games in person. obviously very impressive


but....I think James has the upper hand and is still just 19 years old and he will be a very good pro next year.

11/23/2008 8:30:42 PM

up to #14

after watching UNCC play against App, i'm not too worried about that game anymore.

but I'm really worried about Baylor. they look damn good

then if ASU gets past Charlotte and Baylor, the championship game would be Wake Forest or St. Mary's. damn!

11/24/2008 2:26:54 PM

App State has been pretty good at bball for 3 years now....Charlotte only lost to Clemson by 1 Saturday...they are a good team.

11/24/2008 2:41:53 PM

huge game against UNCC today. i see this as a trap game, looking ahead to much better Providence or Baylor. if they win this tourney, they should be top-10 (with ND losing, Texas losing, Oklahoma or Purdue losing tonight)

they need a big performance from James and they need to finally get the ball inside. Pendegraph and Boateng are primed for a big game, but they guards have been settling for pullups.

watch for it on ESPNU at 9pm tonight. we all remember what happened the last time a Herb-coached team played UNCC

11/27/2008 9:28:08 AM

game time!

11/27/2008 8:52:24 PM

ASU committed TWENTY turnovers and James Harden only made 2 FGs






and they still won by 29. HAHA. 4-0. Play the winner of Providence v. Baylor tomorrow night

11/27/2008 11:05:58 PM

is that a statement for asu or against charlotte?

11/27/2008 11:07:42 PM

haha. prob a little bit of both.

i really hope Providence wins tonight. Baylor is a sneaky team and that Acy kid is solid as hell

11/27/2008 11:19:23 PM

ASU is getting raped. Baylor is apparently really good.
