Re: Extremely Terrible Game :-(

[Chris Sorge]

Honestly, I don't think the freshman on this team will see much playing time
next year.  Moore will probably play a prominent backup role for the next
two years.  Hicks, is going to probably have to wait till his senior season
to see any significant time, and Kirkland's time will just depend on how
much he matures/improves.
