Billy Gillispie robs the cradle.
Michael Avery is a 15 year old from Thousand Oaks, California. He’s also a pretty good basketball player. So good that Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie has offered him a scholarship.
‘Eighth graders, Dude.’
Now Gillispie can’t talk about Avery because of NCAA rules (and possibly the Mann Act), but Avery’s father, Michael Lohan Howard, told the LA Times how it all went down.
Gillispie saw Avery play in a tournament last weekend in Ohio, and let it be known that he was interested in him. Howard Avery called Gillispie, received the scholarship offer and talked it over with his son who later committed to Kentucky.

“This is all Mike’s decision,” his father said. “He wanted to commit.”
All of this shit is non-binding of course.

Don’t look now but KU just got a commitment from Orlando Woolridge’s kid Royce.He’s a Phoenix sophomore who still can’t get a driver’s license.

When we first got cable in my hometown, I used to watch Wooldridge’s games on WGN. Dude was an athlete.

Such is the state of affairs in college basketball. Now the kid can enjoy his entire high school life of interracial dating, smoking weed, and occasionally playing basketball with no worries about recruiting. Sounds like a win for the student-athlete.

For what it’s worth, Texas has a 2010 commitment as well.

Japanese Official Demoted For 780,000 Hits On Porn Sites
TOKYO, May. 2, 2008(AP)
A Japanese civil servant was demoted for logging more than 780,000 hits on pornographic Web sites on his office computer over nine months, an official said Friday.
The man, a Kinokawa city government employee in western Japan, visited porn sites from June 2007 to February 2008, city official Tomiko Waki said. The man’s name was withheld.
City officials said the number of hits discovered on his computer’s internal log was so high in part because one click on certain types of pornographic sites registers multiple hits.
Despite his frequent porn viewing, none of his colleagues noticed his activities, which he apparently conducted throughout the workday.
“Each desk is set apart from each other,” Waki said, adding that the man logged 170,000 hits on porn sites in July alone.
The man’s supervisors discovered his extensive porn site visits after his computer became infected with a virus, prompting officials to examine his Web browser’s history.
Along with the demotion, he received a 20,000 yen ($190) monthly pay cut, Waki said.

Nothing like “registering multiple hits” on “certain types of pornographic sites.”
If you get my drift.

Mistakes made to my dishonor.
Spanking please to commence now.

170,000 hits in July equates to about 7,400 hits per day (23wrk days), 820 hits per hour (9hr work day), 14 hits per minute, and nobody in his office noticed this? Not even the cleaning crew?
Nothing like dedicating your life to civic duty.

I don’t think that’s gum under his desk
