On the cusp of another weekend spent immersed in basketball being played by teams other than our favorite, a little reminder that Tony Shaver continues to take the Wrens in the right direction. The Washington Post's local recruiting beat writer gives comfort today, reporting that Tribe signee and 2011 Maryland Player of the Year Marcus Thornton has no intention of trying to get out of his commitment to enroll at William and Mary. "“William & Mary recruited me all along,” said Thornton. “I’m happy with my decision.”The 6'3" shooting guard averaged 23.4 points per game in his senior year at McNamara. He's rail-thin at 165 pounds, but has loads of offensive talent. With lots of youth in the Tribe's guard rotation (only Kendrix Brown will be a senior next season), Thornton needs to prove he can score and play defense at the college level in order to get quality minutes, but his talent is undeniable. He'll also bring the best hair W&M's seen since Zeb Cope left the Colonial Capital.
6'7" forward Tom Schalk from Apple Valley, MN joins Thornton in the Class of 2016. The Maxpreps Top 100 recruit is the highest-rated signee in Tony Shaver's tenure at W&M, for whatever that's worth. Schalk committed to W&M as a high school junior, and brings a versatile all-court game and a sweet three-point stroke to the 'burg. He averaged 22.8 ppg as a high school senior.

Is this Dennis' guy?
No, Dennis' guy is white and plays like a slower, less crew cutty Chris Mullin.

my high school students found it mildly amusing when i played this song on the guitar today.
Danimal's link in the previous post made me think of this:

holy jimmer. that's absurd.
That was the longest non buzzer beater 3 in the history of college hoops.
Okay maybe 3rd longest
leave the big east alone
uconn baby
someone make sure mark's breathing
Mark..fear the Jimmer
If UF loses I just hope he doesn't reach for the nailgun.
Like Kimmer
Love Gus
Hate Florida
If the Big East gets two of 8 elite eight teams can people shut up? or no?
I meant Jimmer..
over-time
Could have been an offensive foul there....gators get away w one.
tyus is getting screwed
dogshit overtime for jimmer
Congrats Mark. You just made Jimmer have an orgy.
Hey TJ...how'd that "double nickel" prediction work out for you? Jimmer had 32, on about 30 shots (many of which were terrible). Nice try though, homer.
For those worried about me, I missed the first half. Had an event I had to work until just after 8. Game was close, as expected. Alex Tyus played his best game in 2 years tonight. Jimmer wasn't hot, and when he's not he forces and takes a fair amount of bad shots. Sorry Shlara, but it's true. I realize he (kind of) has to but still, some of those shots hurt your team.
Boynton was great defensively and Florida's frontline was the difference (as predicted by me) on the tweet machine.
I'm way more excited about Duke-Arizona than anybody else I know. Mind you, I don't get out much these days.
oh my god.
Derrick Williams. I love you.
Um, Kyrie Erving is somehow already back in seemingly normal form. That's...impressive.
Vegas is gonna lose so much money on Duke...Coach K, you dick...
This Zona-Duke game is shaping up nicely.
And, as a Gator fan, Butler scares the shit out of me.
I wish I named my kid after Kemba Walker. He'd have more swagger.
Seriously, you should be watching this Zona-Duke game.
Yesss.
Nolan Smith is a complete non-factor. Irving's return is killing him. He never has the ball in his hands now.
I love Arizona's big Ukranian kid.
Since when was it ok to smack another player in the arms, face, and torso? Lots of no-calls on fouls inside.
A dude name MoMo Jones is powning the Blue Devils right now.
That is all.
Fucking nasty.
Big Daddy Momo Jones.
Derrick. Williams.
I thought Arizona could win this game. I didn't think they'd physically dominate Duke, kick their ass and embarass them. Wow.
The Cats can't miss. Does Duke purposely recruit guys with no ink?
I love when Duke loses.
Watch this Wisconsin game
