Happy 4th of July

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Happy 4th of July everybody! Please try not to blow off any appendages while messing around with fireworks, okay? Let us proceed directly to the links:

-- I know, I know…we all get cheesed off when the University of Dayton Flyers are referred to as a ‘mid-major basketball program’ but when the Bleacher Report publishes a list of the Top 30 Mid-Major players at each position (and Kevin Dillard, Josh Benson and Chris Johnson are included) don’t shoot me, but I’m gonna give you a link to it:

-- Archie Miller doesn’t get much pity from the fellas at Rushthecourt.com for expressing the opinion that he would rather stay home and recruit than go on a 10 day tour of Europe. Can’t say I blame Archie. (scroll down to item #3):

-- Larry Hansgen postulates in the DDN that CW’s intangibles will make him a good NBA player (assuming, of course, that there is an NBA for him to play in):

-- Speaking of the NBA, Brian Snow at Scout.com actually took the time to go back and see where various players picked in this year’s NBA draft were ranked by Scout coming out of high school:

-- Recruiting will shift into high gear immediately after the 4th for both men’s and women’s coaches at both UD and WSU, according to the dynamic duo of Kyle Nagel and Doug Harris at the DDN:

-- The “Godfather of Summer Basketball”: Howard Garfinkel:

-- One of my favorite sources for Ohio prep recruiting info, Kurt Stubbs at Ohio High School Hoops has hung up his keyboard. You can’t really argue with his reason for quitting:

Best of luck to you as you answer your calling, Kurt.

-- Quite frankly, the only time I have ever seen Balling Up Streetball on Fox Sports Net is while using the up and down arrows to scroll thru the program guide on my cable system. Seems like I am not alone in that regard:

-- RushtheCourt.com provides a nice interview with former UVM Head Coach Tom Brennan, with whom I got to chat with a bit at half-time of the UD/Pitt blowout at the Arena a few years ago:

-- The coolest pictures of the world’s longest underwater crystal caves in Russia that you will see all day:

-- Having spent 30+ years in the ad biz, I kinda wondered how Groupon’s business model was gonna sustain itself. Apparently, it can’t:

-- Call me old school, but I will take Ray Harryhausen’s cool stop-action special effects monsters over those cartoonish CGI critters any day of the week and twice on holiday weekends:

-- “The Not-So-Sweet Tweet of the Week” belongs to Jeff Goodman of CBS Sportsline:

“@Archie_Miller: You win the award for the worst-tweeting head basketball coach. Ever.”

-- “The Sweet Tweets of the Week” both come to us from former UD Assistant Coach Reggie Rankin of ESPN.com:

“Just spoke with the Dayton Daily News about new Flyer Jalen Robinson. Nice Pick up for New HC Archie Miller and his staff.”

“Speaking of Dayton Flyers Chris Johnson is here at the KD (Kevin Durant) Skills Academy working very hard!! Expecting a big senior year from CJ!”


That’s it “From the Swamp.”
