I was reading the interview Donna had with the three freshmen and it seemed as if they were rather naively (I know, they are freshmen) feeling the worst was behind them in terms of adjusting to college and the college game. But I suppose we can't fault them for over-confidence because we would prefer them to be that way rather than t'other! It was poignant to read Kaleb's interview where he said - or implied (can't remember) - "I wasn't ready. I had some anxiety." etc. When we're in the middle of something, we put all of our energy into getting through. Reflection comes later.

The people on your list were absolutely stellar. I wish I had been able to see some of them play.

I wonder what the more experienced players tell the newbies? It reminds me of when I was first pregnant. Everyone was so happy and optimistic and all was rainbows and puppies. When I got closer to delivering, I began to hear the cautionary words: "You know, it may sting a bit." I picture Gbinije and Cooney in a corner, looking at the freshmen, and saying, "Those poor suckers! They have no idea what's about to hit them."

For all intents and purposes, DaJuan is a freshman. We have four inexperienced but hopeful players on the team who have been waiting for this season forever. Let the games begin!
