Grantland Big 12 writeup

[cyclones500]

Solid writeup of the conference, if not tons of new information. Has ISU 3rd, also a section on BDJ.

Also, includes this great line on Hoiberg:

He’s like Mother Teresa running a basketball soup kitchen in Ames. I don’t care that some of you were barely recruited, that some of you were exiled from your former teams, or that some of you are Canadian.

I especially enjoyed the bolded part.

Also think Niang deserves to win this. I so want him to be the most hated man in the big 12 by other teams

Also, I think Niang should be at least co-leader with Staten for the "Best College Player" category.

His writing is great. Fun, informative, and mentions insider tips in a casual manner. Good stuff.

If you read his other previews, he uses that section for talented players that are inconsistent or underachieving. That's the last thing Niang would win.

That great quote he used is recycled. I can't remember if he used it previously or if somebody else did, but this isn't the first time I've seen it.

If I remember correctly he alluded to it being from his write up in the spring.

Exactly, frustrating for the fans of the player's team not the fans of other teams.

My bad, somehow I missed that when I scanned the article earlier. Thanks

You guys realize that even in the original piece, that wasn't a real quote, right? He was making a funny.

Do you mean to tell me that Fred didn't actually say that?
