So Jason, what were some of your impressions coming away from the trip?
Watson emerging as a star?
Rahman making more strides?
KA-BANG - newest Aggie to be excited about?
Whachoo thank?
Jason, do you have the per player stats (minutes, ppg, rpg, asst, to's, etc...) over the six game canadian tour???
here's what you know. they played low level teams and won all but one. the young players who mm wouldn't play last year got some valuable minutes. troy and wendell weren't there so others had to step in to the go to player roles which is a good thing. the reasons troy and wen didn't go on trip; broken ankle and passport issues, are a bunch of hog wash. the drama around these two guys continues. troy was walking on campus the other day and he sure didn't look like a broken ankle victim. keep buying that stuff mm is selling! i'm sure mm and the others enjoyed being around this team and learning more about them. keep giving mm your hard earned money so he can continue bringing in guys who won't go to class and who will be in trouble with the law. go aggies.
