He's really, really good. Long, smooth athletic kid that cna play PG and really shoot the mid-range jumper. If he gets enough confidence in himself to be aggressive at all times, the sky is the limit for that kid.

Great get for Mizzou.

15th in the preseason AP. I'd say that's pretty fair. It all depends on how quickly they mesh. There's a lot of good teams out there this year, although thankfully not many in the SEC.

I'm excited about the idea of basketball, but it's going to be weird early on having so many new faces. Although I guess you could put any four random dudes out there with Pressey and it would be entertaining. Pressey was actually picked as SEC preseason player of the year which is a little surprising. .

accused of rape. no charges brought. waiting out the Student Board. Sounds a lot like the SLU deal where the guy was a bit pushy but didn't cross to rape.

What an idiot.

She knew he just wanted to [expletive] her (but, I'm going to assume was star struck and convinced herself she was so awesome that he'd just have to want to be with her and she'd have herself a soon to be rich and famous sugar daddy)
So.....
She invited him over.
She turned off the lights.
She got in bed.
She kissed him.
She rolled over so he could [expletive] her doggystyle.
She stopped it.
She got back in bed with him.
She jerked him off.

I mean, the dudes an ass apparently; I wouldn't condone his approach. But to try to put him in prison for umpteen years or whatever seems like a stretch. Glad the prosecuting attorney realized that.

Seemingly, after realizing there was no hope, the girld tried to guilt him into a relationship....atleast that's what I took from the last three text messages...to paraphrase:
"You got what you want, I didn't get what I want. The only way to be a good person is to give me what I want"

I was a little surprised how much graphic detail was in that article.
