This is quite a list of talent.
 
Hutchins didn't have too bad of a career at Marquette. Was their PG in the tournament twice, I believe.

Funny thing is, a chunk of those players are just MAC-level starters. Patton (DePaul?), Geno Ford (Ohio), Sonny Johnson (Cleveland State?), and Emmanuel Smith (no idea).

Man Lima has got 3 guys on there that is kind of crazy.

Does anyone know where that Lebron guy went to college. I heard he might of been a mac caliber player, but I never heard. How is he doing.

I think the Cavs were a MAC caliber team before he went there.

I live in Archbold, Ohio. We won our Regional final Saturday and just happened to be lucky enough to be playing against North College Hill Friday. Not good.
