Sports Illustrated namedrops Aussies in college
A recent Sports Illustrated (the Feb 21 issue, with LeBron on the front for those of you playing at home) has a big profile on Mr A. Bogut kicking arse this year.
While this is obviously very cool, there was nothing new or exciting in it that us forum-dwellers wouldn't know, so won't bore everyone with a recap.
What was interesting was that they did have a sidebar where they had a bit about each of 10 other Aussies they thought most prominent on the college scene:
I won't post what they said about each of them as it would take too long, but happy to do indviduals if requested:
Aaron Bruce (plays at Baylor; currently ranked no. 2 freshman scorer in the nation)
Chris Cameron (Louisana-Lafayette)
Ian Crosswhite (Oregon)
Martin Iti (Charlotte)
Blagoj Janev (New Hampshire)
Daniel Kickert (St Mary's)
Matthew Knight (Loyola-Marymount)
Alex Loughton (Old Dominion)
Aleks Maric (Nebraska)
Luke Schenscher (Georgia Tech)
Actually, I will put the entry for Crosswhite, as it's intriguing:
"Much was expected from Ducks' top returning scorer and rebounder (12.5ppg, 5.0rpg, 56.2% shooting last season, but after subpar play he was suspended indefinitely on Feb. 9 for "violation of team rules".
