The Spartans win their 16th CT Chamionship (10 under the colorblind79 moniker, 9 in the past 13 seasons).  It's a little crazy with all that success that we haven't yet gotten a National Championship.  Maybe this will be the year.

Coach, just wanted to formally congratulate you on getting us into the National Tournament! We'd been hoping for a #1 seed, I just couldn't believe it though when it was finally announced. The buzz on campus is electric right now!

Best of Luck - Make us Proud!

Turnovers were the difference in this game.  If you look at the stats, OSU played very well both offensively and defensively, but turned the ball over just a bit too much.

Incidentally, colorblind79 was just named National Coach of the Year.  I am employing the third person, there, because I wasn't fully responsible for the decisions that guided the team this year...distribution and day-to-day gameplanning were handled by my successor, though I did chip in with some recruiting scouting and an occasional practice minute distribution.

Coach, great job getting us to the finals. Just to let you know, if you win, our campus will probably burn down. Burn baby burn!

Our next/last opponent, for the National Championship, is a Kentucky program that I believe has knocked us out of the NT a few times (a 2 seed):

Wow.  Not even close.  I also want to note, in particular, that this is the same Kentucky team that beat me for the services of a Mr. Jessie Cole, SF, who went 1-7 in this game, with 3 turnovers.  Richard Watson, the emergency replacement who became our star in a National Championship year, had a good game both offensively and defensively (as shown by Cole's struggles).

Brothers and Watson are leaving school early, which will leave the Spartans only 2-deep in the frontcourt.  Obviously, we'll have work to do in recruiting.  In the meantime, though...

Coach, you did it! Congratulations on a job well done. Just getting to the Final 4 is a great accomplishment. Enjoy some time off, take it in and then let's get back to work and see if we can use the National Championship publicity to land some All-American recruits!

Congratulations my good man on a job (more than) well done! You've really done a fantastic job as an ambassador of Michigan St.. When you have time, we need to talk about how we can make sure we keep you here.

Like I told you in the locker room, you'll probably have your pick of opportunities now. You never know how often an opportunity like this will come around - as your friend, I think you should consider them. Don't worry about the team, I'm sure I'd make a great head coach.

Some perspective...we've gotten close a bunch of times but this is the first time we've gotten the Championship.

Hmm, doesn't seem to show potential.  Well, they're all good players with nice potential.

[edit, 12/16/10:]

This recruiting class was ranked the 6th best in DI.

Alabama was number 1, and has an average rating, one game in to the regular season, of 821!  Crazy!

Also of note: Silvestri was named a First Team Preseason All American, and Kaczor was named to the Second Team.
Rubin Brothers was a versatile frontcourt player, with a well rounded game and no weaknesses.  He's a good rebounder and a decent scorer, and an actual threat from the outside, yet didn't turn the ball over too much.  Brothers will not be easy to replace, as his skill set is relatively rare.

#16 C, #107 Overall, ***; JuCo Jr., no promises.  Richard Stevens is a short-term stopgap.  I did not scout Minnesota so I don't know what his potential is.  He's a good player for our immediate needs.  He will provide much-needed depth for the frontcourt.  Not a likely pro.

Richard Stevens got better, and provided valuable minutes, rebounding, and defense to a National Championship-winning team.  There's nothing more that can be asked of a JuCo big man.

Oops, didn't post this guy when I had the information on his ranking and potential.  The one big note is that he has average, not high, potential in rebounding, which will limit him.  I think in his other relevant areas, he's got high potential.  Obviously he's a pretty good player in general, and will almost definitely play in the NBA.

[edit, much later:]

Richard Watson:
athleticism: limited upside
speed: limited upside
shot blocking: big upside
low post moves: big upside
perimeter shooting: limited upside
ball handling: big upside
passing: limited upside
I almost cannot believe that I didn't recruit Watson as a SF in the first place.  That average potential in rebounding, combined with his well-rounded skills, made him an ideal candidate for a position switch.  He's a very early entry - hopefully he didn't leave only to be drafted in the 2nd round.  I wish this game allowed coaches to officially make guys change their position, rather than just allowing them to fill in on the depth chart (though I'd still like that feature to be around).
