He was trans Fatts today. Was pressing and shot selection was more like his sophomore year. But he did hit a big jump shot in crunch time, and he is one of toughest and most fearless players I have ever seen play for URI. With the game on the line, I want him to have the ball in his hands.

Re: The David Cox Era
My theory with Akele was that DH was too much in his head and that the coaching change to David Cox would help him fulfill his potential as a college senior. Just got the feeling that he was always looking over his shoulder and was never comfortable.
