Davon Jefferson
Looks like Jefferson changed his mind:

It's kind of strange that he just up and declared then signed an agent.  I think I read somewhere he didn't even tell his teammates he was leaving.

Yeah
I accidentally had him in both lists.

Congrats on your draft entry Mike
though I bet you get passed over.  Nice try slipping one by us there.  :)  

More important question - who the hell in Louisville cares about the NBA draft on Oaks day? It's not that popular any day of the year, but...

Wake Up Maggie I Think I've Got Somethin'
to say to you.  It's late September and I really should be back in school....

Oh, that it were September...  That group that Mike reported to be returning to school would fair quite nicely against the hopeful pros.  Let's see, Earl blending as the power forward, Hansbrough and/or Harangody as the meat men (I think we'd get a few offensive boards), Thabeet underneath as the Sears Tower, the Curry kid for some outside intercontinental missiles, and T'WILL on the wing.

Yeah, that group would do OK.
