Maybe he should stick to driving the lane. Nate Robinson was arrested on Tuesday for driving with a suspended license. He was with Nets’ draft pick Terrence Williams at the time. This isn’t Nate’s first driving related issue either. C’mon man, life’s too good for him right now to mess up over stuff like this. Let the rookie drive, dammit. In fact, make the rookie drive!
The day’s biggest positive news is that ESPN College GameDay is coming to UW on February 20th. The crew will broadcast from here before the 6 PM tip-off with UCLA, which will also be broadcast on ESPN. Pretty great exposure for the school and the team. I kind of wish we could play this game for the rights to Josh Smith. We’d dominate. Just saying.
ESPN says Smith’s stock is slightly down. Hmmm… Okay, no problem. We’ll take him if no one else wants him. Hey, us, yup us, here in the back!
I get a bunch of mail asking recruiting questions about the local HS scene. I’ll have more on that as the season gets closer, but here’s a great ranking of the top 20 high school players in the state by Seatown Sports.
And here’s a ranking of the 10 best fantasy college basketball players in the Pac-10. Three Huskies on the roster, which is awesome. For the record, I think this guy has Tajuan Porter way too low and I would’ve avoided putting Johnny Lawrence on the list at all, even at #10.
And finally, friend me on Facebook if you want updates when I have a new posting up. Just search for Montlake Madness and send me a friend request.
Thanks for coming!

I saw Tre Simmons today he must be on break from pro ball in isreal. I introduced myself and shook his hand but otherwise I was too nervous to ask or say anything.

I searched for you on facebook but can’t find you. Where are you??????

Hi Steve,
If you search Montlake Madness, I should come up. If not, email me your full name at MontlakeMadness@gmail.com, and I’ll send you a friend request.
Thanks! -
Hey Steve,
Thanks for reading my list of fantasy prospects for the Pac 10. As noted in my article, I am not a fan of TaJuan Porter-type players who are tiny gunners. He may score a lot, but leagues like mine, the Big Chief Challenge (http://fcblzone.com/forums/) (Join if you like, it’s free.) value players that offer something more than points and give equal credit for assists (hence, Glasser at ten). If you came up with a top ten, who would it include?

Hi Perry,
It’s Josh, not Steve. But, thanks for the comment.Instead of sharing my top 10, I may just join your league this weekend and show my picks that way! Sounds like a lot of fun…
Thanks!

Sorry about that – you can call me Steve, if you like (although I can’t say for sure that I’d respond).
In any case, just a little more league info – I actually have two leagues – one with the Tier 1 (BCS) conferences and one with Tier 2 (top mid-majors). This will be the fourth year of the Big Chief Challenge and it gets bigger each year. It is head-to-head weekly scoring with six-man lineups (of a ten-player roster) in which points, rebounds, and assists and totaled separately. All of the leagues are free.
Also, I am part of a group that just started up a fantasy college hoops info site. It’s still a bit piecemeal, but you can check it out here: http://www.collegefantasyhoopsinsider.com/

Cool man, I will check out the site and join the league. Sounds like fun!
Thanks, Perry. (AKA Steve…)
