Re: Ivan Johnson backs out

[Brad Holdheide]

The difference is with those teams (2000 and 2003) there was a lot more
help.  With Whaley not panning out we still had Max and Hicks (and
Kareem).  Without Kenyon we still had Tate, Fletcher, and Little.  This
year it's just 6'4" Hicks inside playing in a much much better
conference.

I'm not giving up the season but I think it just took a major hit. 
Hope I'm wrong.

Well said, Darren. 
 No UC team has ever been all about one player. Even the Kenyon year of

2000, it was said many times that if Kenyon broke his leg 'a month
earlier,' 
the team would have had plenty of time to adjust. (Not that I'm wishing

broken legs on anyone, at anytime !) 
 With Ivan gone 'officially', there is time to prepare.
