The Erie BayHawks are looking for a play by play announcer who can sell tickets. The catch is they do not want him to sell tickets in the sense that people will show up to see him in action. They want him to actually sell tickets. It also sounds like the individual who is hired for this job better be able to set up, fix/maintain and tear down his own equipment before and after games.

I hope there is room on RU for a future post highlighting the special talents of whoever ends up landing this primo job.

Le Cavs speculates that this means Lawson is more likely to pull out of the draft. But if he goes back to school doesn't that expose him to NCAA (and team) punishment?

Very in-depth look of 11 games for each player when they weren't beating up on the soft underbelly of their mediocre conferences.

I'm not calling anyone a cheater, but HoopsHype updated their mock draft yesterday to precisely match DraftExpress. Seems a little too coincidental.

DraftExpress has an update today, but it's all 2nd round movement. The 1st has updated earlier this week.
