Message: [QUOTE="Nicknack, post: 1185683, member: 1003"] Don't get me wrong, Ennis was a VERY good player especially as a freshman. He played so well under control and was quite a talent for us. However, what REALLY helped him get drafted is the attention that the team got on that 25-0 stretch and the attention he got particularly in the game winner against Pitt. Remember the stat they showed about how well he played in the final minutes of every game? They made a HUGE deal about it and showed it over and over on SportsCenter. Well, after the 25-0 start, that stat was blown up. Not that he played poorly but he wasn't quite the same consistently and didn't seem to have the magic that people thought he did during the undefeated run. It didn't really matter because by that time, he had already garnered the attention from scouts. Ennis = a great college player + being at the right place at the right time. [/QUOTE]
