Re: Whaley

[Michael W Pickens]

Nothing personal but I'm sick and tired of the "give the guy a second 
chance crap".  What in Whaley's history tells you that he deserves a 
second, third or fourth chance.  I can't imagine the steps UC and the 
Athletic department have gone through to help keep Whaley eligible for 
this season.  As a regular student you wouldn't have been given anything 
close to the help he is getting.    Just because he is tall and talented 
we should keep him.  I think this team is much better off without a lazy 
center.  I know he is going to have lots of trouble getting the job done 
but give Soulman a chance.  He struggles this year and then maybe his 
Junior and Senior season he becomes a force in the middle.  I would rather 
struggle some and watch a hustling team like UAB last year then a lazy 
team that has tons of talent but just squeaks by.  Just my two cents.

Hopefully - I think Huggs will realize Whaley is doing everything he can 
and
working hard (hopefully he is) and do whats best for the team - bring the
guy we need back.
