If you are unable to be around from 10am-6pm Eastern Time then sending in draft lists are highly recommended! For those who pick within a couple spots of me if you'd rather PM lists to someone else and have them pick for you that's fine, but I assure everyone that I am heavily biased when it comes to who I like and don't like and no one's list has ever come close to changing my own picks. Please PM the person that follows you in the draft. Links follow each participant.

Heh heh I thought that, too, but I didn't want to be the one to say it first.

[britrock88]

I don't know about that... they ARE a 1-seed, so expecting a deep run will overcome some lacking PPG.

Oh, I don't think it's a bad pick at all. But Cuse spreads the ball around so much and runs so deep, that even if you think they're going to win it all, it's hard to see Walters as a first round pick. I woulda figured early to mid-second round.

[Logan]

Nicely done guys, I'm here and making my pick...

[Logan]

1.10 Doron Lamb, Kentucky

[Marmel]

I usually have some kind of theme to my picks, and it always included a homer pick early on. This is nothing new! No theme this year though. I can't go all Big East this year since we are leaving the BE. I can't go ACC because I haven't accepted that yet. I thought about all guards, or 1 of each position, but idk.

[Logan]

Nope, we're at 11 this year, Shorty is up...he's been PMed.

[wade moore]

Oh, so we are.

So used to 10 .

[Logan]

Yeah all the top drafters were put in this game to add to the degree of difficulty.

[Lathum]

clock is ticking, correct?

[korme]

Ok, I pm'd bergey last night but now I'm here and reconsidering my picks. 10 minutes.

[Logan]

No need to PM me when you're done, I'm here.

[korme]

PERRY JONES III, BAYLOR
TERRENCE JONES, KENTUCKY

[korme]

BTW, just giving Marmel a hard time. I have 'Cuse winning it all, of course it's not a bad pick.

[jbergey22]

ok UTD, carry on... Logan is up.

[Logan]

Tyshawn Taylor, Kansas.

Will pm dac

[dacman]

[bhlloy]

Also if somebody could take care of my PMs to the next person on rhe clock today that would be great as I'm on my phone and it's tricky to do... Thanks!

[jbergey22]

I am going to extend Wade by 1 hour. He has been in this prior years and sent me a PM last night for his first round pick. I think he has full intentions of taking part and I dont want to skip over him this early.

[wade moore]

I'm here, looking now - lunch took longer than normal - sorry!

[wade moore]

2.6 - Deshaun Thomas - Ohio State

[timmynausea]

[jbergey22]

via PM stevew selects

2.8 Kevin Jones, West Virginia(10+ seed)

Karlifornia is on the clock

[Karlifornia]

2.9 Michael Snaer, Florida State

[Logan]

Damn, was hoping to get Jones next round. I'm a believer in WVU's chances but apparently steve is moreso.

[jbergey22]

No hard deadlines on picks today. We are moving at a good pace and people seem to be active. As long as it continues we shouldnt be in any danger of not getting this done in time.

Just try to be considerate of the people picking around you and try to check it atleast once every 2-3 hours.

[Lathum]

picking soon

[jbergey22]

I need to take off for awhile, wont be long. I have stevew's next pick.

[Logan]

If you want to PM his pick to me, I'll post it so we can keep moving
