My question for you is this: Would T.O. moving to the Atl Falcons make Vick a better pocket passer?

Also, random thought, but Scott do you remember when we were chillin at your place in Charlotte and Wellens's girl lit her hair on fire? that was awesome

Seeing that Coach K ran Randolph out of Duke and he's now a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, I don't think he'll be coming off their bench.

Kentucky with Orlando Smith at the helm: #10
Kentucky with Skip Prosser at the helm: #5
Kentucky with Tom Izzo at the helm: #1

Don't even get me started on the Randolph Morris fiasco. Morris has the talent to be a great player, but apparently the NBA owners and coaches aren't too impressed by 4.2 RPG from a 6'-10" "star" center. Neither am I. And given how Morris just dumped UK at the end of the year for the NBA (failing to discuss the situation at all with the coaching staff), I fail to see why UK has accepted him back. Much like your assessment of team chemistry issues on Maryland, I don't see Morris contributing to a positive environment.

Do you think that the players will be able to oevercome Prosser's poor coaching and actually make it to the sweet 16 or even the elite 8 this year?

I can't wait to see Evtimov again this season...though I will be sad to see him go.

I think a lot of people are underestimating the pack this year. S'ok. I like pulling for the underdog.

While the question about Duke's bench will continue to be a question, let me just say that having people like Randloph and Dockery coming off the bench is fine. They do a good job, the problem is when they have to be starters or spell people for significant amounts of time.

Duke's season depends on Williams. If he can continue to get better on offense and stay out of foul trouble, he is going to be a monster and I pity any other team that has to rotate off of Redick to help out with Williams.

Your probably right about the drop in the Deacs play this year. I checked them out last night and was not impressed-2 carrying calls, 3 3 seconds, about 5 foot on the baselines, redshirt freshman cam stanley looking horrible, ehhh. On the bright side, 8 big E superdunks, trent had an awesome game, and freshman harvey hale looks really good. transfer mike drum started and looked solid, and visser looks much bigger...throw in kevin swinton when he's back from his suspension from shooting paintballs off luter's roof, and maybe they wouldn't be tied to a team whose jerseys say valley with 10 mins. left. They've got potential, but these first games have caused me to think it may be a long year. rankings look good, hating on barnes pretty bad though.
