The Magical, Miraculous "Gibbons Effect" 10/27
Few things in nature, save perhaps
Circadian rhythms and the Capistrano
swallows, are more predictable and
wondrous than the fabled "Gibbons Effect"
(quotes are mandatory when referring to
it). For those of you unfamiliar with this
phenomenom of nature, let us explain. If
you are a prominent high school recruit
and you sign with UNC, your rating,
height, and points per game instantly
soars.
Observe the most recent demonstration of
this remarkable occurrence:
Adam Boone, a fine recruit who is
committing to the Tar Heels this afternoon
was ranked by "Quotin' Bob" as the #44
recruit in the country at 6'2" and 15ppg on
"Quotin' Bob's very own Web site. Now, however, with Boone's
commitment to UNC imminent, "Quotin' Bob" tells The Charlotte
Observer today that Boone "is definitely a top 30 prospect." Indeed, not
only has Boone's ranking catapulted at least 14 spots, "Quotin' Bob" now
says Boone is 6'3" and averages 17ppg.
Indeed, the "Gibbons Effect" can occur even at the mere mention that a
recruit will commit to UNC!
Remarkable! Oops, we mean "Remarkable!"
What's next? "Spinnin' Bob"? :) |
