RE: Whaley

[Darryl Gilliam]

Based on his attitude I bet hell be here for two years.  I think that Whaley will find out real fast how competitive it is at a top Division 1 program.  Granted our interior offense and defense stunk but becoming a first round draft pick from a college team is very difficult to do nowadays.

obvious to him that DeMarr was going to stay only one
year, and that it was a "calculated risk" he took for
the opportunity to win a national championship.

Save for the tragic incident, the strategy paid off,
and I hope Huggs does the same thing, given another
opportunity.

I must say, however, I am surprised Whaley considers
himself in such a position to stay only one year.
