This summer I saw Vincent Grier guarding him. I just cannot see someone like Joe being able to keep up with him. No way no how.

You should ask AJ Abrams what he thinks of Krabbenhoft's ability to guard the 2.

Yeah, but I hope he has a better attitude his senior year than Vo did.

Although from the sounds of it, Bostick Bro will keep Devron's head from getting too big.

On the home page Devron Bostick kind of resembles Voshon Lenard. Would be great if he could put up numbers like Voshon did during his stay at the U.

I winced at that too, but winced even more at "there's a lot of contact, defense, and running up and down."

If he thinks there's a lot of defense at Howard Pulley, he's in for a shock--and a few Tubby Stares.

Thanks Nadine--great job as always.

I am under the assumption that UW's lineup will be Hughes, Bohannon, Krabbenhoft, Landry and Nankivil, while Minnesota's will be Nolan, a guard, Bostick and two of Johnson, Iverson, Sampson and Williams. Even if Bostick has guard skills, he would essentially be a SF, which is where Krabbenhoft will probably spend most of his time. Joe was 1st team all defense this past season while guarding a variety of players, and while I have not seen Bostick since HS (when he was more of a PF),...

Bostick is pretty much a 2 guard.

This summer I saw Vincent Grier guarding him. I just cannot see someone like Joe being able to keep up with him. No way no how.

I think Bostick either will be our star or a very good player. He sure looked like he had the ability to score from anywhere on the court. Also, unlike in past years I think he'll be a player than finishes his layups more often than not. Our guards in the past years (fouled or not fouled) did not seem...

I obviously found this question and answer the most intersting:

GH: Being from Wisconsin (the fine city of Racine), what do you think of the Badger-Gophers rivalry?
DB: Oh, I can't wait (smiling)! I can't wait to prove to Wisconsin that I'm good enough to play in the Big Ten. They said I wasn't good enough to play.

Kam Taylor was never able to channel this emotion correctly, as I think he played quite poorly in the...

The response Devron gave about DJ was great. His laughter makes me think there may already be some chemistry between Damian and Devron. I'm looking forward to seeing Devron drive with a dish to DJ for the flush!

Did anyone else wince when Devron said he's "been downtown a lot." Anyhow, sounds like he has a pretty good head on his shoulders.

I thought the exact same thing at first, but I just think that's my mindset now. I remember when I was in school, it was cool to go downtown for good, clean fun. There's Nicollet Mall, a lot of shopping, restaurants, movie theatre, Gameworks, the list goes on and on. I don't think he meant anything by it at...
