Know this about Varnado: He has a knack for blocking shots that you can't teach. He understands how to play the angles, keep shots in play and ensure he plays the team game defensively. His nickname, "Swat," is perfect.

Jarvis Varnado Named To Naismith Finalist List
by jeremyflint on Feb 24, 2010 11:31 PM EST
1 comment
Jarvis Varnado, the new NCAA all-time shot block leader, has been named as a Naismith Finalist.
The Naismith Award is given each year to the nations top collegiate basketball player. Finalists are chosen by the Atlanta Tippoff Club's board of selectors, which is comprised of basketball journalists from around the country. The award will be presented at the Final Four in Indianapolis.
"It's a great honor," Varnado said. "I'm very humbled to be mentioned with all these great players. I'm blessed. My teammates and coaches have put me into this position of being recognized. You can't be mentioned with this type of award without great teammates."
Other finalists from the SEC include Devan Downey of South Carolina and John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins of Kentucky.
State Defeats Tide; Varnado, Stewart Break Records

It was a heck of a night for basketball...Mississippi State style! In addition to the Bulldogs getting a win over the Crimson Tide (who beat them in Tuscaloosa earlier in the season), Jarvis Varnado became the all-time shot block record, finishing the night with 8 blocks and 536 career blocks, and ended in double digits for points and rebounds.
In addition to Varnado's record, Barry Stewart took over the career 3-point shot list for Mississippi State. Darryl Wilson previously held the record.
The Bulldogs are playing for their post-season life now with 3 games left, including games on the road at South Carolina and Auburn and the final home game against Tennessee. If the Bulldogs can win out like they did tonight, they should be able to secure a place in NCAA tournament. A good run through the SEC tournament would certainly help their case.

Jarvis Varnado Is King Of The World!

Yeah, that post I made a few minutes ago about Varnado tying the shot block record...nevermind. He just became the all-time shot blocker, swatting down a shot attempt by the Tide's Mikhail Torrence.
Varnado currently has 536 career blocks, and it will be interesting to see how many he ends up with by the end of the season.
This year, Varnado is averaging just under 5 blocks per game. Could he go to 550 before the season is over?
Congrats Swat!

Jarvis Varnado Ties All-Time NCAA Block Record
by jeremyflint on Feb 24, 2010 10:41 PM EST
0 comments
Jarvis Varnado has tied Wojciech Myrda's all-time blocked shot record with 535 in tonight's match-up against the Alabama Crimson Tide. The tie block was his 7th of the game and was put up against the Tide's Justin Knox as he drove to the basket.
Stay tuned as Varnado only needs 1 more block to take sole posession of the record and there is still plenty of time left in this game (6:50 as of this post).
Go Dawgs!

Manny Diaz Talks Defense
by jeremyflint on Feb 18, 2010 12:54 PM EST

Bully Barkline has a solid interview online with Manny Diaz. Skip to about the 5:00 mark to jump past the commercials.
Some highlights:
- Diaz breaks down his impressions of the State D from the prior 2 years, especially comparing the 08 and 09 versions
- Discusses the originations of his aggressive style of defense
- Judging from the audio, Diaz as a similar personality to Mullen - very fast talking and direct
- Also gives props to Chris Wilson and how easy it has been to work with him
