I'm seeing Crews and Chism in a corner saying..."Hey what about us!"...

The first three rounds lasted about 30 seconds.

They need to share some drafting secrets with the NFL.

How in the world did they get Jalen Rose to come down? That's crazy. I would like to hear more on that. Maybe he knows Pearl?

Article said he was friends with Tony Jones and that he'd probably only make it for a couple games, which is why he was drafted that low.

If Tyler Smith was drafted second, he must be tearing it up in practcie (they are practicing aren't they?). Either way, it speaks volumes about how good they think he is.

Didn't Tony Jones coach him in high school? I seem to remember that from somewhere. In any case, it said he may only play a couple of games ... so that could hurt their chances.

Here's my predicted order of finish (i.e., pre-season rankings) :victory: :

1. KNS (solid all around)
2. Kingston Alley (higher if Rose shows up more than twice)
3. First Tennessee (brought down by Jordy at No. 3)
4. HT Group (where are the guards?)
5. SunTrust (too small)
6. Toyota (Lofton = Lebron ... not enough)

It'll be cool to see some of these games :)
