1. In no way was Craft a combo guard.
2. Great, the McBee/Bradshaw comparisons have already started.
3. How was this a swap?

If Aaron Craft is a "schoolboy legend" in Ohio, what does that make guys like Jerry Lucas, Jim Jackson, and LeBron James?

Those guys have nothing on Craft, he jumped to number 70 on Rivals.

OJ Mayo is lucky he left Ohio when he did. It saved him the embarrassment of having his entire high school career overshadowed by Craft's.

Bruce Pearl isn't used to hearing the word "no'' from his players.

maybe we need smarter players

Tennessee fans shouldn't fault him for the same reason they should be thrilled a player like McBee turned down scholarship offers from Marshall and Santa Clara to walk-on.

thrilled? That might describe the UK locker room at this announcement but not fans of winning basketball games

McBee's ACT scores and GPA are sure to be a huge plus for the squad. The ability to calculate the area under the curve during timeouts is going to be an invaluable asset.

Griff I normally enjoy reading your stuff but this is some delusional stuff here. This seems as out of touch as most people in the state of Tennessee who claim to know basketball. You know alot of Tennessee's walkons have turned down offers other places that doesnt mean they are all of a sudden going to be our savior. For every underrated Chris Lofton or Dane Bradshaw there have been about 1000 Just Albreichts. Craft is a good prospect but if you think he is a legend then....I dont even know what to say. My advice to your remove this article before it destroys your rep anymore than it already has to anyone thats read it.

It would be nice if folks would start threads with the intention of actual conversation and debate rather than translucent self promotion. Just my opinion.

He's covering his bases. On the one hand, he wants to be able to take advantage of the medium, yet he knows that if he steps too far into cyberspace, his newspaper buddies will pick at him and call him a "blogger". Bloggers aren't real journalists, after all, and he can't get his hands to dirty in this internet stuff...

Don't worry, Griff. In 3 years half of your peers that look down on "blogging" will be out of work because the local fishwraps they write for folded...
