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...
