Wollongong Hawks Kicking Goals Off The Court

Will it be the year of the hawk?

The Wollongong Hawks may have scratched and clawed it's way back into the NBL I'm not sure how many times, but the "Steel City" is now kicking goals off the court.

Sure, with only half their team signed (look for an import signing today) I'm not sure how games the Hawks will win, but right now they are leading the competition off the court. They have just released a social networking page "I Am A Hawks Fan", which should see many a basketball fan drop by and add their two cents in.

I will be interested to see how many clubs jump on the bandwagon and join the Hawks in the cyber social networking sector.

Well done Wollongong, but I cannot stop thinking, Gordie McLeod and 80's porn when I see some of those pictures.

News

- SlamOnline provides us with a Corey "Homicide" Williams piece. Here is just a little taste.

“Australia has been good to me. Guys play in a lot of places, and I’ve jumped around a lot of places, but I’ve never had as much success as I’ve had here. So why leave? You find your niche, you stay there. It’s working for me, and they’re good to me, so I’m staying," Williams told Slam Online.

- The NBL's resident pest, Brad Davidson, is on the outer with the Adelaide 36ers all thanks to the u/23 rule.

- Dwayne Vale is back with the Cairns Taipans.

- Victorian junior Brett Seljak is heading to the USA's college system.

- Scott Cook remains unsigned despite putting up big numbers in the ABA.

Good article about Homicide in Slam. But, did they say he take 500 jumpshots a day? Maybe he needs to start taking 1000 ... or like many great shooters have told me, its about "makes" not takes. :-)

In all seriousness, it'll be good to have Homicide back in The Ville this season.

Didn't Julius Hodge say he was shooting 500 J's a day?

Some think it will be good for Homicide to be back in Townsville... SOME! When negotiations stalled, the coach was well prepared to move on.

JR, as someone who has been around training a few times at the crocs i find this very hard to believe

"That “steam” is the same force that drives Corey to trek up mountains, and work out for hours on end. If he isn’t taking 500 jumpers, Homicide is working on his handle or is teaming up with dudes on the court, sweating to better his pick-and-roll offense"
