Early Entries to the Draft; Drake Coach off to Providence

The word on the street is that Kansas State’s Michael Beasley has declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft. There are eleven days left before the early entry deadline, and already there are a lot of top players out there who have decided to go pro… in sports. Beasley s going to top a lot of lists as the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. He lead the NCAA in scoring, is 6-10, long, athletic, can score from anywhere and can play decent enough defense for a gig on a lottery team. Who wouldn’t want a player like that on your favorite NBA team next season?

In other news… The Associated Press Coach of the Year, Drakes’ Keno Davis, has been hired at Providence. Obviously this coach is the hottest man on the sideline other than Bill Self right now, but we’re unsure why he would want to leave Drake for Providence. He coached Drake to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since the ‘70s in his rookie year. While that’s wonderful, perhaps more experience is needed- both for Providence to hire him, and for Drake to get more miles out of a potentially awesome coach. Coaches change schools so quickly nowadays…
