NBADraft.net does have Harkless going 7th in 2013. LOL.
I suppose Maven did have some connections, but the whole atmosphere around him was like being back in 8th grade. If you were one of the"cool kids," he'd speak to you. Everyone else was beneath him to the point where he wouldn't respond to you unless you pissed him off.
Not sure what he's like in real life, but he was highly immature online.
i'm not one of the "cool kids", but i can tell you in real life, maven and hit the gym are good people.
Early on posters appeared on this site with obvious anti-semitic and racist agendas. Maven ran them off so fast they did not know what hit them. I also know for a fact that Maven has tried to help facilitate placement of local athletes from high schools that dropped their sports. His imperfections are obvious but the picture of Maven as pure villain does not wash.

Back in the day when Big East Boards was going strong the only school that had massive posts was St. John's and that was because of the inability to register on Redmen.com as noted here. It used to be interesting to go over there and get a different viewpoint and sometimes see the animosity towards Redmen.com posters. Sadly Maven left here and posted
exclusively at BEB always jabbing at someone. If he's not banned maybe he'll come back. Time will tell.
I sure hope not. Maven and his son sent me private messages, and even somehow found my AOL screen name harassing me and making fun of the fact that my father passed away while insulting my mother in the process. All because I disagreed with them about something (couldn't even tell you what it was about). I never visited that website after that and I've wished nothing but terrible things on the two of them since then. They can both rot in hell for all I care.
That is the type of personal animosity I am referring to. The Maven and a couple of others are fine in person but put them behind a computer and they tend to morph into Sonny Corleone or Sammy the Bull. LOL! Many people are the product of their environment and sad to say the Maven is one of them. Those that know him know he is a great great fan but for whatever reasons you cannot disagree with him on a computer without getting kneecapped. LOL!
I am not a pyschiatrist, I just play one on redmen, but there are reasons why the "glass is mostly empty" fans like Boo and Bobre never seem positive about their team. All I can say is medication and counseling usually help but a person's personality is forever.
Stop stereotyping me. (You have accomplished that on your own Borbre)
I get positive when positive things happen. Lately they have been few and far between. (Lately is around 10 years)
What I won't do is post speculative stuff like many others do. (Moe Harlkess is a middle first round draft pick)
I understand these things happen but it never seems to happen to the other guys. (excluding Villanova and Providence this year
Bobre, I respectfully disagree and have amended your comments for the record--- see above.
Last year was fun and I rooted just as hard as you. Funny how you ignore my positive posts. The Harkless info comes from quotes from an NBA employee and a draft expert he knows very well. You don't know whether it's wrong or right but it is factual from real live sources as opposed to all the posts of personal opinions on who we're going to sign. I didn't push the Moe stuff because if it goes down we're half way to oblivion despite all the faith in Lavin wherever he may be. FWIW I did see a well regarded mock draft which had Moe going 8th overall. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. I wasn't aware Nova and PC were playing with five frosh starters and no bench but I'll take your word for it. Of course I'll look into it and take you to task if it's not true so that might be something to look forward to. Nice of you to "respectfully" disagree. I applaud your manners if not your facts.
Dear Bob,
Please link us up with the mock draft you see Moe as 8th pick. It would be greatly appreciated. Also, my point with Nova and the Friars was that they ARE NOT playing with 5 freshmen as SJ and their play, IMO, has been mediocre at best. If your point was to miss the point you did an excellent job as usual. BTW, 8th on the draft means Moe is a lottery pick and I would be most happy for him!! Please link it so that I can post it on his FB wall. He will be ecstatic!
Thanks.
He probably saw it, but it was a 2013 mock draft. :$

So you guys think he's not one of the top 64 this year and them becomes a lottery pick next year. Now that's funny.

I think most of us do believe he's a top 64 player this year and becomes a lottery pick next year. The funny thing is you didn't catch on.
I had a feeling it would soon be shutting down. It had turned into ghost town in the past year or so.
Everything I've read this year has him going late first to early second but lottery this year seems to be out of the question. One thing Bob might not remember is guys who were sure lottery picks last year like Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones, Terrence Jones (bad decision, exposed flaws) and Jared Sullinger plus more than a few mid first picks chose to stay in school because of the labor situation in the NBA. Since there were no assurances that there would be a season they chose to wait it out a year and that's pushed everyone down a bunch of slots and made for a very deep draft this year.
