2007 super recruit Gary Johnson scored 41 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, but Aldine dropped to Houston Madison 87-73. Madison sophomore point guard Tommy Mason-Griffin dropped 37 points to pace the victory. Johnson will attend Texas this fall. Mason-Griffin is a prospect to keep an eye on for the '09 class.

In other hoops recruiting news, Rivals is reporting that Louisiana super stud Greg Monroe has listed Texas among his choices for college. Monroe, a dominant 6-10 post player, is the nation's #1 '08 recruit and will spend time this summer sorting through his decision. The truth is, Monroe can go anywhere he pleases, and while Texas is among nine other schools on his list, it's exciting to be in the running. Remember, no one thought Kevin Durant would be headed to Texas, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

If you're not excited about tonight's matchup with Texas A&M, you probably hate college basketball. And yourself. And probably America, too. Ticketless AW and I will be here on the site, hammering away comments in the live thread. Hope you'll join us. AW's game preview is below.

EDSBS Radio got off the ground last night and it was, as promised, a train wreck. Orson and I couldn't log on to the host platform as co-hosts, which meant I had to call in from the cell phone to fulfill my co-hosting duties. If you didn't get a chance to listen in, you can listen to the archived podcast here.

BON Radio?

Peter,

Is there a high overhead to get a blog-radio show going? If not, I think it would be really cool to hear a BON-centric radio show, basically an audio version of the blog. It could be a great, intelligent alternative to all of the nonsense call-in shows on regular radio, especially during the football season.

Essentially what I'm envisioning is the banter here on the blog transferred to audio for an hour, but I think it would bring the community here even closer together. And after getting to hear what T. Kyle King and Ragin' Cajun Rebel sound like, I'm really curious to hear what some of our regular commenters sound like. For example, does Tbone Stallone talk like he writes? And does 54b use a different voice for his parenthetical comments?

Anyway, just a thought. Also, certain rules would have to be implemented, I'd guess, like a "one 30-second Greg Davis bashing comment per show on a first-come first-served basis" rule...

So take that.
