College basketball’s biggest underachievers

By Jason King, Yahoo! Sports Aug 22, 12:21 am EDT

When it comes to signing players, college basketball coaches often resemble recruiting experts. Sometimes, they just miss.

For every highly ranked prospect who becomes an NBA millionaire like so many people predicted, there are a handful of athletes who never live up to their expectations coming out of high school.

It’s never too late to turn things around. Heck, some guys simply blossom later than others. For now, though, here is a list of the biggest underachievers in each of the six major conferences.

Big Ten

Delvon Roe, Michigan State, senior – Roe was the nation’s 24th-ranked player coming out of high school in 2008, but he’s hardly been a star at Michigan State, where he’s never averaged more than 6.4 points in three seasons. Knee and ankle injuries and resulting surgeries have hampered Roe’s progress. Roe played 23 minutes a game last year and worked hard on the glass, as evidenced by his five boards per contest. And he’s certainly been around good players in a program that went to the Final Four when Roe was a freshman and sophomore. Still, the Spartans’ staff was expecting Roe to eventually make a quantum leap. It hasn’t happened. Not yet, at least.

My moms 2nd husband was diagnosed with that. He went within a month. Of course the poison I fed him helped it along.

Josh Pastner has hired Luke Walton as an assistant for this season, or until the NBA strike ends.

Memphis's bench now has a current NBA player, a former NBA star, a highly regarded former NBA assistant, and a former NBA strength trainer.

Now, when Pat tells the men's bball cohuh that she has forgotten more about basketball than he ever knew, it will be true in more ways than one.

Okay. That was bad. Please forget I said it (Pat Summit already has).

so not only has Gillispie lost all his UK money in a ponzi scheme but Tech is already having to reprimand him for off the court behavior. He is on his 3rd secretary in 3 months.

Amazingly enough (not), Logan had some dealings with the ponzi scheme guy's partner...
