5th best "Comeback" in Sacramento Kings history!!
impressive!!!
"5. Jim Les, 1990-1994
If anybody could teach Tyreke Evans how to be a prolific shooter, it’s Jim Les. Despite career numbers that are actually not very good, he led the league in three-point shooting in 1991 and was fifth two seasons later. He would have to give up a nice college coaching career to make one last run with the Kings at the age of 46 but I’m sure that Bradley would hold his spot as he breaks out the short shorts, feathery Blagojevich-like hair, and the long range jumper for the Arco faithful one more time.
Maybe he can even bring back his basketball camp for all of the little Kings fans out there."

News on AJ Guyton
Daniel Ruffin's older brother AJ Guyton of Peoria Central was unexpectedly cut from his team in Argentina. AJ had played in Europe the past several years but this season had signed with Lanus (Buenos Aires), a team in the top pro division in Argentina.

The Lanus club made a very nice offer and in July, lured Guyton to South America and planned to use him as their full time starting point guard.

...Now they have cut him loose. Here is a blurb from Argentina...
"Lanus cut A.J. Guyton
Lanus decided to cut A.J. Guyton from the squad. The team was not satisfied with the physical conditions of the player and they parted ways. A.J. Guyton started the previous season in Greece playing for Larissa. He later moved to Sweden to take up the invitation from the Sundsvall Dragons. The 31-year-old guard averaged 14.6 points, 2.0 boards and 1.3 assists per game in the Basketligan."
Tough break for AJ...hopefully he'll catch on with another team in time to start the season.
A notice from peoriairishhoops.com (the web site for Peoria Irish Hoops) has stated that Manual's Paris Gulley is committed to "Southeastern Community College"
But I cannot find anything to support he is either at or has signed a LOI to Iowa's Southeastern CC or to Southeastern Illinois College.
I guess time will tell.
Creighton's Chad Millard, one of their very slim frontcourt, has come down with an unusual illness.

Another article out of Omaha, talks a little about the visit to Creighton by Doug McDermott, son of Iowa State's coach Greg McDermott.
He says he's still interested in Creighton even though he will have to walk on and pay his own way the first year as Creighton doesn't want to use one of their final two scholarships for 2010 on him.
Then he'd be eligible for a scholarship after that, but seriously what guarantee would he have?
Note also in the article, Creighton seems to have lost out to Utah on recruit JJ O'Brien because
"the O'Brien family did not like Omaha for personal reasons."
......(ouch!!)
Here's the link to the Wisconsin recruiting site that says Evansville and Illinois State are both after Diamond Taylor who has left Wisconsin after his arrest on theft charges.

ISU does NOT have any scholarships, and already has at least four players walking on ahead of Taylor (Mishler, Blue, Lewis, Coates)...so would Taylor really consider going there?
Maybe Jank really does want to make ISU the one and only TRANSFER U.....even to the extent that he goes after every disgruntled and troubled transfer!
Here's more on Josh Tabb
"violations of team rules"...but we all kinda know what goes on ......

anyway....Pearl hasn't had a season yet without drug issues and dismissals, and this one isn't starting out so good either..

Do a search on the BradleyFans board for some of the other old Josh Tabb threads and the other times he's been in trouble.
The kid has had trouble since getting to Tennessee and has never really played that much, always playing the role of a backup and sub.
In case you hadn't seen...
