2 quick videos of ASU recruits for next year

The first video is of Trent Locket. He is a 6'5, 4-star recruit out of Minnesota. Scouts say that he is gonna be really good. He has a similar game to James Harden, except right handed. He has great athleticism, a great 3 point shooter, and can make plays for others. He will likely start at Small Forward next year for the Sun Devils.
The second video is of Demetrius Walker. He is a 6'4, 3-star recruit who attends Saint Mary's High School in Phoenix, Arizona. Heading into his high school career, he was touted as the next Lebron James. He has a lot of skill and awesome athletisism, but his shot is only average. He will likely start at Shooting Gaurd next year for the Sun Devils.

ASU's basketball future looks bright. It is nice to know that even after the James Harden era, we will still have a good squad. Devils 4 life!!

sweet photos from the ASU vs. UofA game

HA!! take that UofA. GO DEVILS!! we are sooooo good. Kuksiks was cluth, and Harden is, by far, the greatest player that's ever played college basketball. If Harden isn't named NCAA player of the year it will be an outrage. After this win, it is clear that ASU is a final four contender. It's march madness baby!!!!!!

Rihards Kuksiks: best shooter in the nation?

The answer to the question is, of course, HELL YES. Rihards Kuksiks is the VERY BEST shooter in the nation, hands down! Anyone who thinks otherwise is just plain ignorant.....and an asshole. Arizona State forward Rihards Kuksiks is currently averaging 47.4% from the 3 point line. Kuksiks makes 2.6 out of 5.5 three pointers per game. This average statistically qualifies him as the 3rd best three point shooter in the nation. He can hit his shot from anywhere on the floor. Whenever I see Kuksiks put the shot up, I expect him to sink it everytime, and I am suprised if it doesn't go in. He is a big reason I think ASU will go deep into the NCAA tournament. Don't fuck with Kuksiks, or he'll fuck your shit up. LATVIA!!!!!!!

This is my first lowered-hoop dunk session since tearing my ACL. This is, also, the first video that I have ever made. As you can see, these are some dunks that I have done, recently (January 2009). Not my best stuff, but I didn't keep the camera rolling for very long, and I didn't have a lot of footage to choose from. I'm going to try and make some better videos. Bigger and Better dunks coming soon.

Jeff Pendergraph: going oldschool

All images found at rivals.com

Here are some sweet pictures that I found of Jeff Pendergraph back when he was a youngster in high school. He looks super skinny, but I do LOVE the afro. Personally, I feel he needs to bring that look back. "(Pendergraph) played for one of the most successful high school programs in the nation, as his Etiwanda (Calif.) teams were 62-5 his final two seasons under coach David Kleckner. Fellow Division I signees on his prep team included Darren Collison (UCLA), Marcus Carter (Portland State) and David Carter (UC Davis)" (thesundevils.cstv.com).

Jeff Pendergraph: NBA material?

I think that Jeff Pendergraph is a great college player for the Arizona State Sun Devils, and I feel that he can be a solid NBA player. Pendergraph can rebound the ball, he defends nicely, he can hit a jump shot with consistency, and shoots well from the free throw line. I believe that Pendergraph will be drafted in the middle-to-late second round. I am positive that he will make the roster with someone's squad and have a solid career as a backup. Jeff Pendergraph is a senior who currently averages 13.7 points, 8 rebounds, 67 FG%, and 77 FT% this season. Picture found at daylife.com by Paul Connors.
