Hauschka in Vikings Camp
The Fort Mill Times (Fort Mill has a newspaper? Really?) has a nice write-up on former Wolfpack kicker Steven Hauschka. Stuck behind steady, strong-legged Ryan Longwell on the depth chart, it’s unlikely that he’ll be in a Viking uniform this year. Still, it sounds like he is at least getting notice in camp: Longwell and […]
Hickson turning heads early
J.J. Hickson got off to a quick start last night in his first summer league game: LAS VEGAS –Cleveland Cavaliers assistant John Kuester was on a roll Monday, thinking up new ways to praise rookie J.J. Hickson. “We’re talking about an N.C. State guy, and I’m still saying nice things,†former Tar Heel Kuester joked. […]
BBall: 2008 One-and-Doners and more
An awesome analysis of 2008’s One-And-Doners can be seen by clicking here to one of the best college basketball blogs in the country.

Hickson to Cleveland at #19
Sid was right – JJ went in the 11-20 window. Here’s Chad Ford’s analysis: I’m surprised they passed on local hero Kosta Koufos of Ohio State. But I do like Hickson, who’s a sleeper. He’s strong and athletic and he can score in multiple ways. He was 12-for-12 from the field in his first college […]

Multiple media reports indicate that Del Negro is set to become the Head Coach of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. The deal isn’t complete, but sources said Del […]
Post-Lotto ESPN Mock Draft – Hickson at #25 to Rockets
Here’s your linkage. Just in case you were harboring any miniscule hopes for Hickson’s return (which SFN certainly never encouraged) – you can let them go now.
Writing on the wall for JJ; Look to Big Ced for example (May 7th Update)
May 1, 2008 The writing may be the wall for JJ Hickson. As NC State fans people who genuinely want to see JJ Hickson maximize his earnings and succeed for years to come; we can only hope that the young man is mature enough to ‘read the wall’ objectively ans execute the kind of decision-making-skills […]
Sunday Focus: Philip Rivers & Matt Ryan
Since Philip Rivers is on my mind and it happens to be (NFL) Sunday (if we were in season), I thought I’d take a quick ACC-related diversion for hard core football fans who like to stay fresh. Philip Rivers ‘now he’s a folk here’ How awesome is this story on Philip Rivers? The guts and […]
