The Weekly Rewind Repor(t)

The Oooops Files!
I just discovered that during the format change to the new blogger template I accidentally dropped the first three college basketball links from the new list. One would think that I would have figured it out earlier, since one of them is my own Recruiting Wars blog! The other two were March Madness All Season and YocoHoops. So I added them back on (I saved the old template). And to make up for lost "air time", I have listed them here as well. And yes, in the next few days I will organize the links better, right now they are a long long long list.


The Blogosphre Files

  • College Hoops Heaven looks at the best 15 mascots using a scientific ...method. Don't show this list to Stephen Colbert, it has BEARS!
  • A round-up of the latest news at Rush the Court. They also crunch the Jim O'Brien numbers. And more round-ups!. And USC taunts UCLA billboard style. There we find a link to a coaching blog discussing Xs and Os on Gonzaga's Flex Offense.
  • To paraphrase Vitale, give me Ammo and Batista, and you take the flex :-)
  • Lots of quick hitters at March to Madness featuring John Calipari, Al Skinner, and more!
  • SEC Hoops the Good, the Bad and the Dirty continues to crunch the SEC team schedules and predicts wins and losses too!
  • How about some football from The Sports Flow blog?
  • The Vance Walberg nation continues to expand. That's the place to be if you want to learn how to AASAA.
  • Dick Hoops Weiss puts on his E! hat and reports from the New York Hall of Fame dinner
  • A jam-packed Volume III of the March Madness All Season summer observations!
  • Gary Parrish opens his mailbag


    The Goodman files
  • Sad news for the Volunteers as one of the players loses a parent. Goodman also talks about seven foot prospect John Riek, yet another injury for Gillispie's wounded Wildcats, and the oranges are blooming in Syracuse, but you won't hear that from Boeheim :) Goodman continues to earn mid-major cred as he also spotlights yet another non-BCS team, this one is an ivy-major.
  • Goodman talks a virtual visit with Rollie Massimmino (yes, the Nova championship coach), and Bruce Weber hires his 3rd assistant to replace the Kentucky departing one.
  • Then Goodman takes a a look at the Arizona Wildcats. The Meerkats will be playing more man2man now that enforcer Kevin O'Neill is on board. Getting compliments on competitivenss from O'Neill bodes very well for freshman Jerryd Bayless. Continuing with the fair and balanced coverage, Goodman also looks at the new head coach at Illinois State.
  • Good news and bad news for Alabama fans as Ron Steele will take a medical redshirt. According to Goodman he looks forward to playing with his brother but more importantly being 100% ready in 2008-2009. And with the string of his injuries, this was a very Vulcan decision. Also featured is Hofstra's key players for the next season.


    Team Files
  • A Sea of Blue takes a long look at seven footer Jared Carter, his past, present and future. They also discuss Joe Crawford's injury
  • Thad Matta is locked up! Not behind bars, but behind columns of silver and gold as he gets extended until 2016 according to CBS Sportsline. The raise of half a million puts him just under $2.5 million. Thank you Greg Oden!
  • Meanwhile Matta's predecessor at Ohio State is collecting the same amount in a different kind of check. Jim O'Brien was awarded a $2.4 million settlement
  • Incoming freshman Clarence Holloway underwent open heart surgery according to CBS Sportsline. According to Pitino the surgery went fine. His condition was diagnosed just Friday. He will obviously sit out 2007-2008.
  • Gary Parrish's latest thoughtblog discusses North Carolina's Felton-Iman non-situation situation, Calipari's invasion of China, and his tour of the luxurious practice facilities at U of Championships (Florida/Gainsville). Also discussed are Ron Steele, Kentucky's Midnight Madness, Josh "shroom" Heytvelt, and the latest Buy One Coach Get One Player free blue light special.
  • Florida A&M finds a new coach
  • Ten years at Value City arena for Ohio State basketball
  • Gonzo finds an assistant according to the Zags blog
  • Meanwhile the Gonzaga Zags fans are waiting for their schedule to be announced. Terrance and Philip make a guest appearance even!
  • John Clay's Sidelines report has an audio interview on Arkansas and new head coach John P.


    The DeCourcy Files
  • As if Calipari didn't have enough market penetration, he is now expanding his sphere of influence to China. It's Derrick Rose this year, it will be Yao Rosun in five years :) And will everyone in China learn to AASAA under the leadership of John Calipari?
  • Big Brother grabs Raymond Felton and Roy Williams by the ear
  • DeCourcy takes a look at Izzo State
  • DeCourcy also looks at the past, present and future of Alabama's one man ER show Ron Steele


    The Congress Files
  • Former college and NBA head coach and tv talking head Dick Versace (not to be confused with the fashion designer I presume) will be running for a seat in the House in Central Illinois.


    The Police files
  • Pitt point guard LaVance Fields delivered a ...stunning performance
  • Gary Parrish chimes in by recommending a kerfew of sorts
  • The killer of USC guard Ryan Francis gets life
  • Meanwihle Auburn's Frank Tolbert gets in trouble with the law, but this one is more of a nickle dimer

    Hey, thanks for the link to my post about Gonzaga's Flex. I hope to do more breakdowns in the future, so keep your eyes open.

    Any coaches out there, I encourage you all to sign up at a new forum I created,

    Thanks as well for sharing it with all of us! I added both your Xs and Os site and the message boards to my list of hoops sites.

    And if you are accepting requests for Xs and Os breakdowns, how about the Vance Walberg/Memphis Tigers AASAA offense? :)
