#1 mid major prospect


Which would the average NBA fan consider?

Depends on your team. In 2009 I would've picked Steph Curry over Blake Griffin.

This has nothing to do with cashing a check but with the level of respect Hunter should be getting. If you don't see the disrespect that's on you.

As for the other part of my statement...

what part can't you understand? it goes for every school...

He is mentioned as the Top Mid Major prospect in THIS article. Everything else I have read says there will not be 35 taken ahead of him. Maybe not even 15. Question remains, why are you here trolling? Because its an RJ Hunter thread. So yeah, you're still mad. As for some disrespect, lets not go there man. I am old. We have been called a mid major forever. This has been discussed to death. If you want to sit in CUSA and pretend youre in the Big East be my guest. Suffice it to say that nobody outside of WKU's fan base thinks youre a high major program or school for that matter.

Trolling...nope, I'm in DC (for a real football game this weekend) and don't have the passwords to most boards on this PC. So lucky SBC fans gets my knowledge for a hour or so for a few more days or nights.

Old people like you and me tend to forget things...like passwords. And like till espn started pushing the ACC & Big 10 (in the early 90s)and now the SEC at all of us....

there were no such thing as a "mid major" playing D1 basketball. But I guess thinking about it...

you didn't know what a basketball was till espn told you. Yep, I get it. Too bad You don't. But go ahead and use "butthurt" I guess it's a upgrade over "your momma" but really sounds odd coming from a "old person"

Youre trolling hard dude/ I dont even know what that means. ESPN told me what a basketball was ?

You are not Kentucky. You're not Louisville. Youre a fan of a directional regional school in Kentucky who plays third fiddle in-state and has had some success in NCAAs coming from a one bid league. You have to have a great sense of self importance if the term mid major just destroys your day to the extent in continually does. As for the term butthurt, I really couldnt think of a term off the top of my head that adequately described the extent to which it has destroyed you that we whipped you twice.

I will bet you a months staying away from all CSNBBS boards that you will not find one post by me that would be considered being "butthurt" by GST's wins over Western. Nope, not one, because I expected the losses.

Again you are getting confused in your old age because the term "mid major" is not a tern used before espn put it in your mind. I don't just bring this up when it comes to Western....

I also think GST is a major...as major as any other D1 basketball school. You can bait me with the Western is not this or that and that's OK because I know who Western is....

as for uk and UofL....

only about 4 to 6 other schools can compete with their past and recent history. But then again going by your, I mean espn's thinking...

Northwestern, Texas A&M, Texas A&M, Texas A&M and many many many other schools in those conferences are like uk and UofL. Makes perfect sense...

if espn tells you enough times


Well I got other things to do for a few hours try not to let others influence your thoughts like espn has
ESPN invented the term Mid Major

According to some in the media he is NOT both.I think he is an excellent player and will be a first rounder.You probably agree.The media has influence on prospective recruits and possible new fans along with others.This is my only point.Thank you.

I'd say NBA 1st round prospect. The latest ranking I saw had in in the first round between 20-25.

On a side note, if Shawn Long has another productive year I see him possibly moving up to the bottom part of the first round.

RE: BR: RJ Hunter #1 Mid Major NBA Prospect.
Let's say that, instead of the term mid-major, we started using the term "of a conference that gets less media attention than five to eight we could all name off the tops of our heads." And then there were articles devoted to schools in those conferences...wouldn't you prefer your team and players to get the extra attention that comes from those mentions? I guess there might be something a bit pejorative about the word "mid-major," but it represents a very real aspect of the national spotlight that shines on our schools. Trying to opt out of the category doesn't help your kids get attention they deserve.

So I see it being mentioned that this topic has been brought up multiple times. So what it the deal here? This guy thinks EKU isn't the number 3 school in the state behind UK and Louisville, and thinks the term mid major is somehow damaging his schools reputation?

Not sure if trolling...but that's the general sentiment, yes. I'm all for pride in one's own school over all others, but I'm not gonna deny that UGA and GT get a lot more media attention than we do. When there's a chance to get more casual sports fans to take notice of our program, I'm all for it.

RE: BR: RJ Hunter #1 Mid Major NBA Prospect.
Wasn't trolling. It was a serious question. I have no problem with GS being referred to as a mid major, because let's face it, g5 schools are on another level than P5 schools, and there is definitely a gap between the two. Doesn't mean we can't compete, we just don't pay for the kind of media exposure the p5 does. But hey, if this guy wants to think they are on the same lvl at UK, then that's his prerogative I guess.

Wondered about the trolling cuz you referred to EKU, which to a Hilltopper is probably something like how you feel every time Southern and State get mixed up.

If some are convinced it is OK or even advantageous to be categorized(M Maj) --fine.I say everyone should have more self-esteem.I regret not being able to explain my point better.If I was able to talk to you in person I think you would see my point. The term is a put-down and shows disrespect whether you realize it or not. GSU fans should not appreciate or accept this derogatory label when attached to their basketball program.It is a negative.Much respect to GSU basketball and hopes for a good season!!!

Nicely put and thank you. Serious question: Would you be okay with the categorization if a less loaded term could be used? (Non-P5, Underappreciated, Underrepresented, whatever seems appropriate...)

Better to be talked about as a mid major than not talked about at all, yes?

I don't think being labeled a mid major bothers Davidson and Gonzaga.
