I don't see a lot of white guys in the Big Ten. Well except for Iowa and Wisconsin.

Others have commented on this already, but seeing such a ridonkulous comment about the racial makeup of big ten contributors, I have to laugh at the inaccuracy of this post. I really only want the best players wearing Orange, and ideally guys who will be committed and want to wear the colors with pride and character. Physical appearance or ethnic background should not be a concern for anyone. Obviously Mayer was on the court a lot this past season. None of us were remotely pleased with the 22-23 campaign, but I do wonder what it would have looked like with a healthy Goode the whole way through, and imagine BPodz in the mix. It might have turned out much differently.

So around the league, I'm just thinking of players off the top of my head that counter this nonsensical post. Audige and Buie were the headliners for the MildKits, but I do remember Barnhizer, Nicholson, and Beran doing some special things there. TJD was the man, but that team wouldn't have done what they did without Galloway and Kopp. Now this dips into the Asian sphere, but I bet the Huskers are glad to have Tominaga, and boy oh boy while we're on that topic, I bet Matt Painter is glad he didn't say I don't see a lot of Asian guys out there, I think I'll pass on this big fella from Canada. Continuing with the cesspool that is West Lafayette, I seem to remember guys named Morton, Floyer, and Furst doing some good things for that team that will go down as the biggest embarrassment in NCAA history. Are there any players to the north that come to mind? Hmm... let's see. DICKenson? Joey Hauser. Let's head east - the hated Mulcahy.

Surely there are more guys. These come to mind immediately. Sheesh, I better not type my true thoughts about that comment.

While I hope we can all agree that judging a person based on a physical characteristic is wrong, and I do think that assuming level of competition based on a physical characteristic is not smart, black men are historically much better basketball players than white men or men of any other race.
