Message: [QUOTE="Flacusian, post: 1991280, member: 264"] DaJuan Coleman has overcome an incredible amount of hardship and while doing so he has shown a drive and level of commitment that you typically do not see in most basketball players of this era. I can remember games where DaJjuan was up leading the cheerleading section from the bench urging on his teammates in close contests ever since he has been here. In spite of what for most would constitute a career ending injury DaJuan has soldiered on and transformed his body in the off seasons and while recuperating and rehabbing from the OATES procedure. Never...never at all has he shown any hint of a compromised attitude or commitment while he faced considerable hardship over the past several years. And now... when this team needs an emotional leader to help coalesce the disparate talent which is struggling mightily he is emerging as the one steady force who is rising up and making the most of his talents in spite of his limitations. Even as the team struggles... DaJuan is an exemplary player who embodies the ideals which are supposed to be at the heart of collegiate competition. As an extremely avid Syracuse Basketball fan I can say that in spite of the current challenges the team is faced with I am inspired by the play of DaJuan. I'm grateful that during a time when it is so easy to become disappointed and cynical because our beloved team is not performing up to what we expected would be a sensational season I can look at the example that DC is providing and know that the spirit of determination and commitment to excellence for Syracuse Basketball is alive and well as evidenced by DaJuan's play. When such emphasis is placed on winning and winning alone it's comforting to know that there is still some credence in "how you play the game". [/QUOTE]
