[KnightSlappy]

I have just been imformed of an basketball player in indianapolis, indiana at decatur central high school name donta manuel. Kid plays well and is D3 material or possible D2 but needs to be looked at by you gise at D3. Wabash college showed interest in him so check him out. he's about to be a junior in high school so a couple more seasons left.

I heard that gi spends tons of time trying to recruit himself on internet message boards.

If any WashU fans/St Louis residents are out there, I have a favor to ask.  My cousin is headed to St. Louis for a swim meet of some kind and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about places to eat or any special things to do while they are there.  Any help would be appreciated.

My number one and hands down great down home cooking is
Sweetie Pies

Ted Drewe's for frozen custard
http://www.teddrewes.com/Drewes.asp

Pi for pizza its and to discover the Delmar Loop Area. Its President Obama's favorite
http://www.restaurantpi.com/

As for special things to do – I would say it is his pick of the free stuff:
Anheuser-Busch Brewery tour, Art Museum, Zoo, Science Center, Grant's Farm, the Missouri History Museum

If he wants to pay for something:
City Museum
http://www.citymuseum.org/home.asp
Or a Cards game (get cheap tickets off of stub hub)

For late night fun, I would say go listen to some Blues because of the St. Louis tradition... Broadway Oyster Bar, BB's Jazz, Blues and Soups, Beale on Broadway etc.

Thanks for the help.  You WashU fans are alright.  I don't care what the UR fans say......

Any help would be appreciated.

Wydown has the quite the comprehensive list, but I have two thoughts.  I am assuming that your cousin is young (junior high-high school) and mostly booked up when in town.  Here are two things that he or she should not miss:

Food

A trip to St. Louis is not complete without St. Louis style pizza and toasted ravioli.  Not as good as Pi, but very St. Louis. 

Imo's is a local chain that specializes in St. Louis style pizza, though many restaurants do serve it.  Not everyone here loves it, but honestly, the trip will not be complete without sampling our pizza and toasted ravioli.

Diversions

The City Garden, located downtown is a sculpture park that is absolutely spectacular and proof that St. Louis can (still) do good things.  Fun for all ages.

If your cousin has more time than this, do everything that Wydown suggested.

I would also add the Botanical Gardens as another great thing to do. And the Arch is quintessential St. Louis. Forest Park (where the Art Museum and Zoo are) is a great place to go for a walk.

As for food, Cherokee St. has great Mexican and Grand has a variety of Asian Cuisines. Basil Spice is my favorite. Kopperman's in the Central West End is also really good.

If someone has it right at his fingertips, fine, although I strongly doubt that anyone does. But what's stopping you from looking it up for yourself? All the info you need is right here on d3hoops.com.

Jason Boone (NYU '07) is entering his 3rd season playing for Goettingen of the German Bundesliga.  He averaged 9 points and 6 boards in the Bundesliga last season, and 11 points and 7 boards in the EuroChallenge.

And he was so excited about making the EuroChallenge Final Four, that he rapped about it:

CWRU just returned from a trip to Brazil in which they played at least two games against local teams.
