1. The eagerness to rationalize excitement about any of the guys we've added this year is well, a bit much. At this point, if Wes added Billy Bearcat to the team I think we'd find posters focusing on him being short, fat and slow as evidence of him having old man skills and game like Steve Logan. Don't get me wrong, I ain't mad. In fact, it sure beats the negativity and sarcasm we often see directed at other recruits and Bearcats under previous regimes. These guys deserve a chance to impress and I hope they do.

2. Not that it matters, but I wonder if all the UNCG fans vowing to support Wes at UC still feel the same. The assistant coach is clearly fair game, but taking their transfer recruit and two current players (so far) seems like it might cost him some goodwill. Once again, I'm not complaining as the players have clearly gained power in the current game and everybody needs to adapt to it. But I wonder what the reaction here would have been if Mick took a similar group away from UC to UCLA.

I see you read my scouting report
