UCLA Hoops, 2010
Be ready for a better than expected UCLA Bruin hoops season in 2010-2011, Bruin fans.
Though the coaches pick the Bruins for third in an underrated Pac-10 conference, the returning frontcourt of Tyler Honeycutt (Sylmar) and Reeves Nelson (love thug) teaming with massive frosh Josh Smith (300+ lbs) will provide a good foundation for Malcolm Lee‘s return to his natural SG role. With the point guard duo of underrated Juco transfer Lazeric Jones & the returning Jerime Anderson finally forcing Ben Howland to pick up the pace, YKI thinks that the Bruins stand a good shot for unexpected dominance this year.
Not this kind of dominance, per se, but in His honor:
Also note the Bruins have a freshman forward named Alex Schrempf. Name sound familiar? It should – son of Detlef, one of the most awesome Euros ever in the NBA.
One more in the proud UCLA lineage as well; a freshman walk-on by the name of Jack Haley will fight Wooden’s grandson Tyler Trapani for the hearts of hustle-loving fans. And yes, Haley is the son of that Jack Haley.
Anyway, the fun ride starts tonight vs. the mighty Matadors of Cal-St. Northridge. My wife and Dad both attended CSUN, so I will be in attendance and rooting for upstart, Bobby Braswell-led Valleyboys to. . .put up a fight in the first half and earn some experience to lead to a return to the Tourney.
YallKiltIt: Notes on L.A. Sports
Despite the spate of trouble recently, Tiger Woods celebrated (we assume) being named the AP’s Athlete of the Decade. 64 tournament wins (12 majors) will do that for a man. Lance Armstrong, Roger Federer, Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Tom Brady round out the Top Six.
UCLA Hoops is back. . .kind of: Rips New Mexico 100-68. Sylmar High grad Tyler Honeycutt has a breakout game with 14 points in his first extended minutes.
Bill Shaikin comes through again with a promise of “bombshells” in the May 24th trial date between the McCourts. Hopefully the Dodgers can acquire a player or two prior to that date. . .Jamie’s lawyer Dennis Wasser may have crossed a line or two by accusing Frank of having RAIDS: “recently acquired income deficiency syndrome.”
Kobe – broken finger and all – leads the Lakers to another win, this time vs. the Bulls, by scoring 42 points. Pau has only 7 shots, though, and is getting more discouraged by the DAY as he becomes a smaller part of the Lakers offense.
L.A. Kings are on TOP of the Western Conference – 2nd overall in the NHL – after another win yesterday, this time against the Oilers. With Quick in goal, they’re phenomenal.
UCLA football netted more All-Americans (3: Kai Forbath, Brian Price, Rahim Moore) than USC did (2: Taylor Mays, Jeff Byers). . .another sign that the momentum in the crosstown rivalry really is changing?
