Holiday Weekend Linkfest

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- The Memorial Day three-day weekend beckons, so let’s toss some links on the grill and get cookin’:

-- Archie Miller is one of the “Five Best College Basketball Hires” according to Rick Bozich of The Louisville Courier-Journal:

Hats off to Tim Wabler: he snagged Archie without wasting a dime of UD’s money hiring a stupid search firm to consult him on how to do it.

Those who can, do; those who cannot, consult.

-- Speaking of The Courier-Journal, recruiting blogger deluxe Jody Demling of The C-J has this piece on BG recruiting target Tamron Manning:

http://blogs.courier-journal.com/jod...amron-manning/

Hafta wonder if Manning remains on Archie’s radar or not?

-- Speaking of former BG targets, Javontae Hawkins is transferring from Flint Powers to Huntington (WV) Prep for his senior year:

The same question can be asked about Hawkins.

-- One kid who is most definitely in the Archie Miller Recruiting Funnel is Pittsburgher Devon Wilson, who will be making an unofficial visit to Dayton sometime soon:

-- A nice piece from Syracuse.com on former Orangemen player and current UD Assistant Coach Allen Griffin:

-- How about an Atlantic 10-CAA Challenge?

-- This interview with Lansing Eastern Coach Rod Watts kinda raises the question did LaDontae Henton not give Archie Miller the time of day or vice versa?

-- According to ChicagoHoops.com, Brandon Spearman wants to “play with the ball in his hands” and will do it next year at Indian Hills CC:

-- Would Loveland, OH native and IU transfer Bobby Capobianco be a good fit at UD?

http://www.insidethehall.com/2011/05...n-to-transfer/

-- John Stovall from ESPN.com with a write-up on a whole bunch of Ohio kids from the All-Ohio Super Sixteen Showcase:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recru...ory?id=6578606

-- Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News says (apparently with a straight face) that Ed DeChellis leaving PSU for Navy is not a surprise:

http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-bas...vy-report-says

Why don’t you try telling that whopper to Billy and Juwan Staten, Mikey?

-- NBC Sports’ Beyondthe Arc.com and The Wall Street Journal beg to differ with TSN Mike:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...tTopCarousel_1

-- Timing is everything in the sports writing business: the great Joe Posnanski of Sports Illustrated had a previously arranged interview with NBC Sports impresario Dick Ebersol on the day he resigned:

The Wall Street Journal provides us with Ebersol’s parting thoughts:

http://blogs.wsj.com/dailyfix/2011/0...ting-thoughts/

The guy replacing Ebersol is a friend of mine from my Turner Broadcasting days, Mark Lazarus. Good luck filling some mighty big shoes, Laz.

-- One of the key ingredients for a college player to be successful in the NBA is the ability to be coached, according to Boston Celtics Assistant Coach Kevin Eastman:

http://www.nba.com/2011/news/feature...s=iref:nbahpt1

-- The ESPN book Those Guys Have All The Fun sounds like it dishes a whole lot of insider dirt:

http://deadspin.com/5802940/new-bits...it-of-screwing

-- I’m generally not afraid of bugs at all, but I will make an exception for this big sucker:

That’s it “From the Swamp.”
