I hope Keith comes back strong next year. From the little I saw of him this year, he seems like a real sparkplug on the court. He revs up the team and the crowd seems to live him. Had a couple nice steals in the exhibition game I saw him play in. He is so low to the ground that the steals seem to come naturally for him.

Also, the walk-on from Waubonsie Justin Peaster played today meaning that he's not going to be redshirted.
