Diamond Head Classic

"Initial thoughts: San Diego State and Arizona are the main attractions, and rightfully so -- UA is a potential top-10 team, while SDSU has blossomed into a perennial NCAA tournament program in Steve Fisher's recent rebuild. That said, don't sleep on Miami. If they stay healthy, the Hurricanes have bodies big enough to trouble anyone. San Francisco lost nine -- yes, nine -- players this offseason, six of whom transferred out of the program in rather unexpected fashion. In other words, at least the Dons get to go to Hawaii this year. Silver linings and all that."

Dons taking on SDSU in the first round... man that would be a great upset.

Getting tired about reading about all these great players that left. The center had his head up his blank at the beginning of the season and only had a good second half...look at the stats...the guard was going to flunk out. The Dons lost nothing.

Well, I agree Mikey and the rest of the bench that left don't really matter.

But having Perris against SDSU would have been nice.

He is always not ready to play at the beginning of the year. Foul out. 10 minutes.

Yeah, but depth in the front is gonna be tough.

Man this season's non conference is the exact opposite of last year.

We got what we wished for. Katz is a hater. I think we'll show up.

Katz can take a lesson from Zak Farmer and actually talk to Walters about the players lost.

Was not Katz it was Brennon I sent him a comment on

Sent him a comment on his lack of knowledge. Blackwell the only loss.
That they needed someone in this time zone to be "reporting".

I did! Looks like a great matchup,I just wish we would be on the ESPN2 semis side but what can you do.

Katz was in the video. He maybe have just been going off what was in Brennon's blog post but still Katz is as oblivious as can be when it comes to USF.

As I said in other thread Brennon is kid living and sharing pizza slices with other frat kids in a Chicago apartment who's never been outside of Midwest. ESPN has this kid covering CBB nationally including WCC. He was awful and ignorant of anything outside of Big 10 talk when he spoke with Damon Bruce. Embarrassing that ESPN uses him as the CBB reporter.

Before the RW regime... man did we struggle in the state of Hawaii...

I think we are going to turn that overall record on the island around a bit.

Gotta agree with benchwarmer on Blackwell... he played well down the stretch against the better part of the WCC but he is replaceable!!! The show must and will go on!

I guarantee you the new bigs will be better foul shooters!!!

Blackwell couldn't get off the ground... 6" vertical?

23 pts, 8 rebs in the Dons opener last season. Anyone arguing that we won't miss Blackwell this season is going to be a member of a very small minority.

Agreed.

The fact that he thinks he is NBA material and just needs Romar to get him there is laughable. Good mid major big man.

100% agree.

6 pts 3 rebounds in 17 minutes in the second game. Often saw Blackwell getting heavily taped on his legs prior to games, so giving him the benefit of the doubt that he had some leg issues. Seemed like a nice enough guy and when he got his motor going he really competed well. Like Cresco said the show goes on and I think some of these guys coming in have big hearts and will really work hard for Rex.

San Francisco lost nine -- yes, nine -- players this offseason, six of whom transferred out of the program in rather unexpected fashion.
