“He missed a few games in his career (concussions), which is unfortunate because he really is such a talented guy he could have had an off-the-charts career,” Bowen said. “He obviously is having a good career, but I don’t think his talents have always been shown as much as what’s truly in that guy’s body.”

As much as I just talked up the ACC, the Big 12 could actually be more competitive. Four teams are in the top 20 (Kansas, Texas, Iowa State, Oklahoma) and Kansas State (Marcus Foster) and West Virginia (Juwan Staten) have star power. Unlike the ACC, the Big 12 still plays a true round robin meaning the title winner won't be questioned for its schedule like Virginia was last season.

Kobe Bryant Demands Trade to Kentucky Wildcats - SportsPickle | SportsPickle
Calipari said he will listen to an offer. “My only concern is how much Kobe has left,” said the Kentucky coach. “I don’t think he has four good years left, in all due respect. If he would agree to be a one-and-done, we could probably use his scoring off the bench.”
(Mr. Ed says: I hope it goes without saying that the Kobe Bryant article is a fake, for entertainment purposes only.)
