CollegeHoops.net Player of the Week: Robert Vaden
March 2nd, 2008
by Jeff Borzello
Rob McKiver scored 52 points in
one game. Tyrese Rice scored 46 points against North Carolina. Sean Singletary
scored 41 points at Miami (Fl.). Michael Beasley had 69 points and 26 rebounds
in his two games this week. And none of them are this week’s Collegehoops.net
Player of the Week. The list of impressive and standout performances gets
bigger as the season winds down as the star players step-up and attempt to lead

Best Non-BCS Freshmen: Part One
July 6th, 2007
by Kevin McNeill
The NBA Draft is finally behind us, where half of this year’s top dozen picks were freshmen. 2008 looks to be no different, with the likes of one-and-doners Derrick Rose, OJ Mayo and Michael Beasley in all likelihood hearing their names called early.
But of course, not all incoming freshmen are already fielding calls from would-be agents. In fact, not every member of the stellar Class of 2007 is even going to the so-called “Big Six” power conferences. Many are going to be thrilling fans at the mid-major level as well.

UAB to Be Most Improved in 07-08?
May 7th, 2007
by Jeff Borzello
Story Link:
Gary Parrish of CBS Sportsline.com writes that UAB will be the most improved team in the country next season. The reason for the optimism is the addition of three big-time transfers in Robert Vaden from Indiana, Walter Sharpe from Mississippi State, and Channing Toney from Georgia. Additionally, the Blazers bring in another top 100 freshman and a JC All-America. He says: “UAB is the wise man's pick to jump from eighth to second in the C-USA standings.”
