So brackins, buckley, Lucca, Christopherson, and Pomlee are all not playing in the league. I am glad that some of the good ex-drake players are playing so there is some better competition for the ISU players to play against.

I know why Brackins & Lucca aren't playing, but does anyone know why Christopherson, Buckley & Pomlee aren't playing?

Colvin and Oliver will be playing with Barnes. If Barnes actually makes it to more than a couple of games maybe some chemistry can develop.

I noticed that too. Almost seems like it was intentional doesn't it?

Nope...but I'd sure be curious to know. I was really excited to watch SC and see how LA has developed...o well.

I am totally going to drive 3 and half hours to come and see this!!!!! I missed my chance to watch CCL last year.

I don't get why people are all hyped about this. It's like watching a pickup game at State Gym....

Some guys light it up, people get all pumped, then they do squat in Big 12 play...

I don't get too pumped about it. It's nice to watch some decent basketball in the summer time though (even though there's not much organization to it). The only reason I've ever gone is to see the incoming guys we have. I will admit, I really do want to see Gilstrap, Colvin, Oliver & Dendy and was looking forward to seeing Pomlee & Christopherson, but the those two won't be playing.

I go for the opposite, I think in the league you cab get an idea of someone who might not be a Big 12 caliber player.

Agreed, and I've had that feeling too often the last couple years.

I'm saying Peak Performance and Granite Transformations are the early front runners for the best team.

**PGreen ISU '92** · 06-10-2009, 11:01 AM

With DG, JVB, and Bubu on the team, I’m going to be pulling for Medical Oncology & Hematology Associates. I wonder what their mascot is?

**Clones85'** · 06-10-2009, 11:14 AM

Early Odds

Granite 3-1 favorite
YMCA 4.5-1
Medical 7-1
Capitol 10-1
Peak 20-1 (would be higher if I thought Barnes would play more than 1 game)
Coca 50-1

Yeah, because playing against Drake Players, ISU bench players, High School Players, and former small College Players really gets you ready for Big 12 action
