Musketeer Madness

Saw on Lance's blog that Josh has been selected to play in the 2008 NABC All-Star Game for the nation's top seniors, which will be played at the Alamodome this Friday as part of Final Four Weekend. The game, which will be broadcast nationally on CSTV, will tip off at 5:07 CT.
Great news for Josh! He really stepped up this year and can no longer be labeled as soft. Lets hope he puts on a show for the NBA scouts.

Good luck to Josh. I think he has a much better chance at getting drafted than most people give him credit for. He definetly has the size and strength for the league. Also, I think his tournament performance this year eXtremely helped his stock and helped him get noticed. If not for his performance in the dance, he would be out of the question for the draft but time and time again, people who step up during the tournament get a chance in the league. My primary example is South Carolina's Renaldo Balkman. His performance in the NIT a few years ago at MSG is what got him noticed by the Knicks. They then took him with I believe their first pick. And what of Chalmers and Sato? Would they have been drafted if not for their performance in the tourney in 04'? That's JMO and good luck to Josh in the all-star game!

Way to go Josh!

I'm hoping that a certain General Manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers gets a look at Josh and likes what he sees. Other than Lebron, there doesn't seem to be anybody on the Cavs' roster who (this year, at least) who can be counted upon to hit the outside shot. Could be an opening for you in Cleveland big guy. Hope you shine when you get the opportunity.

Christmas is a Junior, so he won't be attending.

I asked about BRoberts & apparently he is in the 3 point contest, so he can't do both.

Jamar Butler and Jaycee Carroll are in the all-star game and the 3-point shootout and Brian Randle is in the dunk contest...

Sorry but the devil in me wishes that Butler comes up one three point short in the first round.
