Murphy Holloway also elected to transfer to South Carolina. Not significant, but Mississippi also loses DeAngelo Riley and Kevin Cantinol to transfer. That’s three of Mississippi’s top five scorers and the loss of Holloway leaves a hole inside on an already guard heavy team. Freshman center Demarco Cox should provide help right away but will it be enough? Coach Andy Kennedy hopes that one of two freshmen Isaiah Massey or Steadman Short can provide some help at forward. Juco transfers Dundrecous Nelson, a point guard and shooting guard Donald Williams, a former Kentucky red shirt freshman could also see significant minutes in their first year in Oxford.</i> Just a few corrections to your summary. Your first several sentences are spot on, then it gets a little muddled. Steadman Short is a JuCo transfer, coming in from Chipola, the same school that Chris Porter played for before his stellar 2-yr run at Auburn. Dundrecous Nelson is one of the top high school players in Mississippi this year. While Donald Williams may or may not see much PT this season, former Indiana player <i>Nick</i> Williams will definitely take over some of Terrico's minutes. Look for Terrance Henry to be one of the real breakout players in the league this year.

I just wanted to mention that one very unique thing about our fight is that it also doubled as a music video for Kyle Andrews "You Always Make Me Smile." We teamed up with an Ad Agency in New York (McCann Erickson) who has used Kyle's song for their Holiday Inn Ad. WE here at the BYU AdLab decided to merge the fight and music video. So I must agree, between the two videos yours does trump ours. Keep your eyes out for Kyle's Music Video though, it should be just as epic as the fight. Dane Rahlf and BYU Dearest Wildcats,

Look, perception of his abilities is one thing, but reality is another and the numbers don't lie. He shoots a terrible percentage and over half of all missed shots are turnovers since over half of rebounds off missed shots go to the defense. Throw up enough circus shots and some of them are going to go in, but just because you can win a game of horse doesn't mean you're helping your team. If you read my other post you saw that the more he shoots the worse his team performs. Like I said the numbers don't lie. I don't know what else to tell you.
