Did you know there was a "Ozarks Medical Center Tip-Off Tournament"? Well, we got the MVP from it
The Gophers will announce the signing of four basketball recruits today: Paul Carter, a 6-8 forward from Missouri State-West Plains Community College; Devron Bostick, a 6-5 guard from Southwestern Illinois Community College; Colton Iverson, a 6-10 center from Yankton, S.D, High School; and Ralph Sampson III, a 6-11 center from Northview High School in Duluth, Ga. The Gophers still have one scholarship for 2008-09, and they would like to have it go to either Devoe Joseph, an outstanding point guard from Ontario, or Krystopher Faber, a 6-11 center from Ribet Academy in Los Angeles. Bostick was named first-team junior college NCAA All-America; Carter recently had 45 points, 23 rebounds and six blocked shots over two games in the Ozarks Medical Center Tip-Off Tournament and was named tournament MVP.

This must be a typo, why would the gopher basketball team start recruiting players taller than 6-5? The 5 guard strategy has worked so well for them the past 5 years...and another thing, these guys seem like their scoring way to many points...I'm assuming we'll continue to target our optimal total of 45 points a game, so if this Carter guy repeats this Ozarks performance, none of the other guys can score.... well, maybe that's ok, Crittenden is still on the team, right?

Alright, gents. Let's start using quotation marks when we crib an entire paragraph from some news source, eh? I don't want jan's copyright infringement coming back to bite me in the rear.

Hey, I'll take the Ozarks tourney stud over the "all-Tri Metro conference" honorable mention type guys that Dan Monson recruited.
Supposedly, the national services are calling this a top 10-15 recruiting class. We'll see...but all I know is that's a start in the right direction.

Sorry Matt, you're right, when copying and pasting stuff, we should correctly note annotate it. For example, "Alshouse you are an assface." That of course is a quote from my upcoming book titled: "What would you say to Matt Alshouse if he were to correct you're annotations of sources in a blog."
The fact that there is the mere mention of this Gopher's recruiting class being even remotely talented is a huge win.

Nice spelling, jan. "You're" for "your"? I love antagonizing you about petty things like this.
There will be a guy named Ralph Sampson in a Gophers uniform. That's good enough for me. Now, just start getting the in-state guys off the Highway to Hell (Madison) to go along with these sorts of recruits, and we'll be cooking with gas. That's enough to get you into the top third of the Big Ten these days.

It's pretty impressive that we have three players over 6'10" or taller coming next year. Can we nickname them now? "The Three Dunkateers." THoughts?

True story about plagerism- In college we had a pledge who had to write a biographical piece for rhetoric class. This genius decided to do his on Bob Marley and copied the inside jacket of the Legend cd ooklet. I am guessing that the gretaest hits album of Bob Marley has sold at least a million and probably more like a couple million. Shockingly, his grad student TA was one of those million or so people who had copy of Legend and promptly busted him.
While a low point in his college career it was not the lowest. After that he got caught playing mailbox baseball while on break in Illinois. He faced something like 30 charges or so from the incident. He and his partner in crime (another pledge) never did make it to active status.
