Re: Everyone cross your fingers!!

I believe the staff knew that Souly was a project and took the calculated gamble that he, after a redshirt and a year practicing but rarely playing, would be better than what they could get in a juco player at that time.
 
Frankly, I think it came down to him or not using the scholarship till the next year.
 
Remember, you cant teach height. No matter how much you scream at them or run them !
 
And, players have regularly put on 20-40 pounds of muscle after 2-4 years in the program.

Sadly, I have to agree with you Mike. I watched Souly warm up last year 
when UC played DePaul at the Roller Skating rink (AllState arena) and again 
last saturday against Purdue. Personally, I didn't see much of a difference 
in his development both physically or mentally. Where as watching a more 
focused and determined E.Hicks going through his pregame was a huge change 
from his laughing and joking around with Bobbit during pregames last year.

Souly, again in my humble opinion just looks a bit out of place on the 
floor. I really, REALLY hope he proves me wrong but I think we are a year 
or two away from seeing any real contribution from him.
