David Collins to try out for Canadian National Team

[basketball nut]

This is basically what I was thinking. Hopefully something clicks for Collins like it did for Rabey. There was a glimpse of it in the CBI. Bradley just needs some type of presence in the paint on defense.

As I have posted before never count a player out until he has proved he is out. I still go back to JC after his soph season when so many thought he should just transfer as he was never going to be a contributer to the program and guess what? 2 years later he is 1st team all MVC and gets a workout w/ an NBA team and will be playing overseas. I may be wrong but I would expect to see a big difference in the play of several of our guys from last year. Will that play increase or decrease will have to be seen-it all depends how hard they have to work. For most of them, if they follow the JC method which was I have something to prove and am going to work harder the ever, it should be a big improvement over last year.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL!

I agree that you should never count someone out. As people, thank God, he didn't make us all the same. DC will be DC, from what I have heard all the players and coachs say he is a great guy. SS had nothing but good to say about him, of course who doesn't Sam support and say good things about. Just because he is 7', doesn't mend the guy will ever be a great player and want to play BB the rest of his life. He may have far more bigger aspirtions than that. If so I hope he does them! He may not follow the work method of JC, not meny are willing to. All I think we can ask from the guy, is to try to improve his game to help the team and give 100% effort. I'm sure we will see that from him.
