Seniors' appreciation thread

We only get to watch these guys for a few more games, hopefully deep into the NCAA tournament. So before they are gone, let's give some props to our senior leadership.

Chet Frazier - The heart and soul of our team. And guy who worked his tail off every game since he joined the Orange and Blue. He did whatever Weber asked. He played injured. He defended like a mad-man. He's grown as a leader and as an offensive threat.

Trent Meacham - In my opinion, our best player over the last three seasons. Paid his own tuition while dropping 3's and leading our scoring attack. He's a hard worker and fine person. I don't even want to think about how many games we win, or don't win, without this guy. Maybe some of you can focus on spelling his name correctly.

Calvin Brock - Another guy who matured and evolved into a very solid player. I don't know that he ever lived up to the hype, but this year he has been indispensable.
