New fantasy STAT - yards per pass route?

Should you be trading FOR Kenny Britt? Off the field issues are the only thing keeping him from stardom. 
Mike Williams TB is the star, but Freeman is a superstar and it appears Benn has the tools to succeed as a WR2.
  
Thanks to our good friends over at Pro Football Focus,  posted a fantastic article back on April Fool's day that you'd be a FOOL to not read. We discussed it in detail on the latest podcast (see the player) and it's very interesting.

NEW fantasy STAT

The top 10 at this stat reveals a "who's who" at the position but a few names stood out to me, namely Kenny Britt and Arrelious Benn. Keep these two guys on your fantasy radar this off-season gang.


Kenny BrittTEN2767752.808
Brandon LloydDEN60314482.401
Andre JohnsonHST52612162.312
Arrelious BennTB1743952.270

Brandon StokleySEA2395122.142
Dwayne BoweKC54511622.132
Mario ManninghamNYG4449442.126


Rememeber, Britt had very little QB help last year with the rotation of Young/Collins and household name Rusty Smith throwing him the ball. Character issues are a concern, but that should keep the price affordable in the off-season to acquire him.

Benn is another guy you should be targeting. Yes Williams is the star, but Freeman is putting up monster #s already in his short career and appears to be poised for a true breakout season this year. With 25 TDS, 3400 yards and only 6 yes I said 6 interceptions, this kid is the real deal. Grab Benn while his value is dirt cheap and thank me later.

Louisville Recruits 2012

While we anxiously await the arrival of 2011 Recruits Wayne Blacshear, Chane Behanan, Zach Price, Ryan Taylor and Angel Nunez, I thought I'd take a sneak peek at the prize recruits of 2012. 

Recap of Louisville potential recruits listed in ESPN’s Super 60 Draft Class of 2012
Rodney Purvis 6-4 185 Shooting Guard Verbal Commit Sick Slasher - Chose The Ville over Duke. Will play alot of point for us. 
DaJuan Coleman 6-10 280 Center - Monster
Archie Goodwin 6-5 181 Shooting Guard – all around
Ricardo Ledo 6-6 180 Shooting/Combo Guard– Pure Scorer - Purvis intends to aid in the recruitment of Ledo. 

Gary Harris 6-4 195 Shooting Guard – (from Indy – attacks the basket)
Winston Shepard 6-8 205 Small Forward – Aggressive
Jordan Hare 6-9 206 Power Forward - Long raw dunking machine
Anrio Adams 6-3 175 Shooting Guard - Elite Scorer

Since we already have a verbal from Purvis, if we can score just 2 more of these guys, it will guarantee another ELITE class coming in for the Ville.

It's all about the name on the FRONT

We've heard Coach P talk about this over and over but we finally go a dose of it this friday night against Notre Dame. Siva landed in foul trouble with 3 fouls in the first half and Knowles popped 2 fouls as well. What can we do with Smith and Justice in the game? Just hang in there. Don't give up, stay alert and do your best.


Let's face the facts:
1. Kuric was solid, playing all 45 minutes. He never left the floor. 14 points.
2. Chris Smith contributed 36 minutes tonight. He shot 1-11 from the field, but he hit crucial free throws down the stretch.
3. We only shot 30% from the 3 point line and still beat the #2 seed in the Big East and eventual #2 seed in the tournament.
4. Terrence Jennings. 3 blocks. 3 gorilla dunks, 16 points.
5. Preston! All I can say is Preston! Perfect 6-6 from the stripe with 15 second half points. The leader of our team.


 And what amazing team defense on the BE POY Ben Hansborough. 3-16, 13 points. That's what I'm talking about Ricky P!

I LOVE this team! We will wear down UCONN tomorrow en route to our 2nd Big East tournament title and an eventual #2 seed!

#GOCARDS!

Cards beat Marquette!

The Cards advance to the Semi-Final to face Notre Dame tomorrow night. I'll be doing the Podcast at 11pm EST, so hopefully the game is finishing up as we start the show, otherwise I will certainly be preoccupied.

What did we learn?

1. Marquette looked exhausted. Notre Dame won't be so easy to wear down.
2. Mike Marra found his confidence, hitting 6 3 pointers and beware folks... we have a Kuric clone!
3. Siva continues his excellent passing.
4. This team continues to amaze me with their overall solid play.
5. Chris Smith - POINTS? WHO NEEDS POINTS? 11 rebounds. BAM!
6. Kemba Walker.. remember one thing. Siva OWNS you!

Let's get it on , Irish Cards Friday night. They have the Big East POY and arguably coach of the year, but we have this guys. Remember Irish fans?

Dunk of the year candidate!

And Siva, keep doing what you're doing bro. The passes tonight put tears in my eyes. This is my favorite team since Garcia Dean and OBannon.
