I love the kid. Congrats. I think he had a down year though, and I think he'd agree about that.

On a sidenote, not having anything to do with Killer........when I look at the All-Big East teams, it sure seems like the talent level is down this year.

I'd agree, I only see one lottery pick (Porter) in there, with only one or two other potential first rounders in there with him. Much different than most years, but I think the TEAMS top to bottom were much more solid this year.

Actually looking at CB across the country I really only see 2-3 sure things in this draft class.

I'm pretty sure Russ Smith of UL made first team also.

I disagree on the ALL BEAST teams. While there is less star power this year, the depth is really impressive. Shabazz Napier had a great and unnoticed year, Otto Porter is a lottery Pick, Russ Smith is the best player on a final 4 team, and the dude from Providence is the leading scorer in the league.

Also, if 17+ ppg is a down year for Killa, i think he's moving in the right direction in terms of development.

Already one of my all time favorite Bearcats. It's been a pleasure to watch SK the past few years.
