Penn State just got commits from TWO 6'11"players who are rated very good. Penn St is football-I love how Pitt is jealous of them and how Pitt football inthe Big Least is weak. BUT, why can PSU get big guys and they aren't known for BBall? Don't criticize them or their players they got. Why can't we get big guys? Is the Big 10 a better conf. for BBall than ours? I don't they so but maybe I am wrong. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

All you need to answer this is to remember back to when we beat Iowa, a low-tier B10 basketball program. Folks called it an "upset." The A10 is excellent, but still has that mid-major label. The B10 is a totally different story. Additionally, while last year was a disappointment, they won the NIT two years ago. (NT) -- MFE08, Thursday, November 11, 01:58:28pm
Where do I begin; the Big Ten is the best sports league in the nation; it pays out huge sums of money to every member each year; they are the envy of every other league; B-10 has its own network; so the players will be seen on TV. Can you even begin to compare the two schools? how about the campus? How about the facilities and support? Really we are not even in the conversation; give Ron credit for getting the quality players that he is able to sign; he is going against a huge deficit in many areas. . Keep in mind that there are a limited number of bigs around. (NT) -- Jules, Thursday, November 11, 03:18:59pm
- might be hard to read, but so true...gotta prove we deserve to be in the conversation. (NT) -- Slim, Thursday, November 11, 05:03:57pm
Screw Penn State. Their fans were on here talking much trash 2 years ago. I hope they lose every game they play. (NT) -- duq81, Thursday, November 11, 04:20:12pm
I don't share the hate for PSU; since PSU and Duquesne always had a good relationship when both were in the same league; and PSU has never done anything since to change that relatioinship; at least they were willing schedule Duquesne; hopefully the Nittany Lions can surprise the Buckeyes tomorrow!

- Thanks Jules. My younger son is there now and Duquesne bball is always number 1 for him. (NT) -- kenOTR73, Friday, November 12, 02:26:14pm
- I don't buy that. The Hoopies were trashed on this board all summer, yet they have continu7ed to play us home and home every year. They are a much better program than PSU, and gain little by playing us home and away, yet they do it. (NT) -- duq81, Saturday, November 13, 03:32:05pm
Actually PSU only recently signed one 6'11 kid from prep scholl Mass -- who was rated 2** by Scout and #17 pospect in New England by NERR (right behind a 6'0 PG going to Fordham). The other 6'11 kid from Eastern PA committed last December. Also a 2** (ala Peggau, Shawntez Patterson etc). Both of them are built like Eddie Scheuermann; maybe some day they will also have as much ability. (NT) -- Purduke, Saturday, November 13, 03:26:19pm
