European Vacation

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- As Archie Miller and his undermanned band of University of Dayton Flyers get set to head off to Europe for four exhibition games in ten days, let’s take a look at the links to see what’s shakin’ in the world of hoops:

-- RushtheCourt.com provides us with an in-depth look at the state of the Atlantic 10:

I'm afraid that #9 in the A-14 power rankings is about all the Flyer Faithful can hope for, unless and until Archie and the fellas prove otherwise.

-- The state of Michigan is losing its stroke as a major HS basketball hotbed, according to my buddy Terry Foster of The Detroit News:

-- In spite of the above fact, here are some MI HS players making the most of their summers, according to Stephen Bell at MLive.com:

Flyer recruiting targets Chris Jenkins of U-D Jesuit and Ray Lee (who is headed to Huntington Prep) are among those cited.

-- The updated Class of 2012 player rankings for the Hoosier state, courtesy of IndianaRecruitingGuide.com, includes some of Archie’s targets like Eron Harris, Jacoby Bledsoe and Edward Seay:

-- Speaking of young Mr. Harris, The Indy Star has some details on his recruitment:

Looks like it’s down to UD vs. Wisconsin for this kid.

-- Another Indiana native, 7 footer AJ Hammons (now at Oak Hill), still has Dayton on his list:

-- By now, you’ve probably already read Dana O’Neil’s profile of BG on ESPN.com:

But you might have missed the companion piece by Eamonn Brennan that answers the question “What to expect from Georgia Tech?”:

-- RushtheCourt.com provides its own assessment of BG’s situation:

“If people are expecting Gregory to turn the Yellow Jackets into the third best program in the ACC (seriously, there is no way they ever challenge Duke or UNC) then they are going to disappointed. While Dayton did have a few solid seasons under Gregory every other season he was there they finished in the middle or back of the pack in the Atlantic-10. If Gregory can’t cut it in the Atlantic-10 with a fairly talented team, how is he going to survive in the ACC?”

-- The Lingerie Basketball League premiered in Los Angeles recently and…you’ve already clicked on the link, haven’t you? Why yes, it does include a video -- why do you ask?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_916213.html

-- How do you know when your 1980s rock band has hit, ummm, rock bottom? When you are headlining the National Baby Food Festival in Fremont, MI, that’s how:

“Fear the Reaper” indeed!

-- An in-depth look at how the Navy Seals got their man in Osama bin Laden from The New Yorker:

-- No automotive collection can be considered complete if it does not include an example of the Meadows Frisky Sport!

http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/...t/1276580.html

-- Finally, the answer to the age-old question:

Why do dogs rub up against things that smell bad?

That’s it “From the Swamp.”
