I don't see Bonner getting picked. He is a lousy one on one defender and lacks the foot speed to matchup with the best small forwards and power forwards in the world. My guest is many foreigners will again be taken in June's draft and that could limit Bonner's chances of landing somewhere in the second round. I figured since you were a notable Granite Stater you may had some inside information on why Bonner wasn't at Portsmouth. Both Justin Hamilton and Brett Nelson did attend that senior orientated draft combine. Was he sick, injured, family emergency etc. I thought you might know? Anyways, there is another rumor about Shejide Childs possibly transferring closer to home because he hates Phil Rowe. Will, unfortunately this could be Will Chavis all over again despite no change in coach. Childs though is the best Wildcat since Matt Alosa. His AAU Coach Gil Crosby of the Philly Hoops program is a friend of mine and he conveyed Shejide's situation to me knowing I am a Wildcat fan and alum. Say the Wildcats do get Boston than their class would be excellent. Let me know what's going here and whether or any other Wildcats may leave?

If this happens, the AD should fire Rowe immediately. They can't afford to lose Childs. How can you have a program where every decent point guard transfers after his freshman year?

Hopefully this doesn't happen and is just a rumor!
