Aaaah...the Wheaton iceman!!

Beating two SEC schools in bowls the past two years is pretty Marquee, especially South Carolina.

I remember Harper well. He went pro a year early, and set a record in the NBA by increasing his scoring average for nine (?) years in a row... Never a great shooter but a very good ball handler, defensive player and driver. Big guard at that time (about 6'4") out of Florida... Heart and soul of...

In 30 years, I'll be 119,,,,

we WILL never know... but Jake is a virtual non-scorer and we know Blackwell can score...in bunches. Likely, we will be somewhat efficient...in the 60's not the 80's. Remember... the best thing about freshmen is that they ultimately become sophomores... unless they're named Keaton.

UM...no he needs a year of fletching and needs to harden the same weight to improve his quickness. He's a point guard of the future, not a power forward!

Yes...
