That has almost ruined College Ball. The Coaches are working harder than ever to keep new talent since most leave so quickly.
Oh so true Mr. Don. I am a Cards fan through and through and always have been. With that being said though I have to make a confession. One of my favorite college teams ever was Pitino's Unforgetable's at UK. A bunch of misfit whiteboy's that nobody wanted and was told they couldn't jump, was to slow and had no real talent. The only thing THEY that said this forgot was the ticker inside them rascal's chest's and the desire. That's what I love to see, Passion and desire. You can't coach heart, it just can't be done, you either have it or you don't. Your point was dead on Don, dead on.
