LA Tech's Paul Millsap

I'm posting this in the hopes that "Throw Rocks First, Obtain Facts Later Stallion" will read it. Stallion has no clue about LA Tech's true freshman Paul Millsap.

Millsap's uncle is a coach at LA Tech. Like SMU's phenominal Hopkins, Paul also wanted to play close to home; LA Tech is <4 miles from his house. He didn't start playing serious basketball until the 10th grade.

He wasn't a Mcdonalds All-American. We have several players, B-hop included, that were nominated. Not a big deal, but it is a huge, huge honor and the way you typed it made it out to be like he was on the roster.

He is a great, great player. I am from Louisiana and this kid is special. Hopkins is a phenomenal talent and could be a first rounder one day, but sometimes he doesn't have his game together. Y'all played a great game today and y'all embarrased us...
