ok quick rundown...
It appears that Dyson's knee is in pretty good shape now but Thabeet injured his hand/fingers during last Saturday's game...bad for practices but should be ok for the upcoming games. Yeah...I made that a plural
The freshman who scored the 23 points is Kemba Walker
. This is a very good, all-around solid team and not like the days where we had 3 good players who could all have an off game at the same time and nobody able to come off the bench like Walker.
Am so excited to see the women's team advance but I can just hear Geno screaming at Tiff!!!
lol I was totally clueless about what went on with these students while I was a student there- in my early 30's and didn't pay attention to those things. It was one of my anthropology profs who told about the last day of class tradition...where the players will try to make it to class to sign autographs
. Yeah so they have tutors though we had one football player in my social anthro class and I didn't even know it until my prof told me (my prof was upset with him-he thought the kid was smoking pot).
Most of these student athletes are exceptionally bright and very serious about academic work. It's great to see the colleges buckling down and more of the kids are graduating now. Tough for those who want to get in the pros while they have a chance -rather than keep playing in college and risk getting injured. A couple of brilliant students come to mind -who were able to graduate in 3 years...Ray Allen and Omeka Okafor.
WOW...7 years!!! I always admired my TA's -lots of hard work and dedication there.
Oh if I have the chance before I pass along the basketball yearbooks to my uncle...some retro stuff I'll try to scan and pass along here for you
