Congrats!!
"Texas doesn’t have many frontcourt guys so he has been forced into that role and it kind of puts you into that sink or swim situation," said Canadian basketball blogger Ray Bala of raptorshq.com.
"Lesser players could easily have shrunk." (Toronto Sun, Jan, 29, 2011)
Well done sir!!
Wow the Sun loves you!
"The knock has been he’s soft, but this year he has shown he can consistently bang and grab rebounds, that’s gone a long way," said Ray Bala, who closely follows the exploits of Canada’s NCAAers and runs the excellent Canadian basketball portion of raptorshq.com (Toronto Sun, Other Canadians stepping up in NCAA too. 2011)
It’s good to see all your hard work paying off!

Thank you sir
Good to see that someone other than my wife read that article. I was pretty surprised to see these quotes word for word. I’m just happy that some dudes are getting some shine. Now for it to happen to a little more frequently than once a few weeks …
