Yahoo sports declared what I have been saying all year that Alex is leaving for the next level.
“NBA coaches and general managers draft on potential, and they see Len as being very athletic and someone who is very coachable and works hard,” an NBA scout said during the season. “I would be very surprised if he doesn’t come out and isn’t a lottery pick. He’s 7-1, can run the floor and has a pretty good jump shot. There are … Read More »

It’s simple. A rule was created exactly to prevent an infraction that is unknown to the player that would have caused him to be disqualified. It happened –Tiger unknowingly committed a violation, a 2 stroke penalty was added to Tiger’s score that will probably make it impossible for him to win–case closed. To voluntarily disqualify himself from the tournament as Nick Faldo says would be sheer stupidity. Paul Azinger’s take:

Everything was perfect for a great day at College Park. Great weather, great crowd, a home game against arch rival Johns Hopkins. But someone forgot to tell the offense. Highs and lows of the day:

3 solo HRs from Flaherty, Markakis, and Reimhold led the O’s. Jason Hammel gets the win and JJ gets his 5th save.
Alex Len (Maryland): The 7-1, 255-pound center really has no reason to stay. He’s a skillful sophomore big man who could contribute to an NBA roster from the moment he’s selected. Len struggled from the free throw line this season (68.6 percent), but at least improved from last season’s mark (58.7 percent).
