Great news. He will be a big help to keeping the guys fresh. Bring him back slowly and just work him back in. This is setting up well for us to make some noise in the tournament if we get a good draw.

I think that would be a much better way to maximize his impact for the NCAA tourney. I guess time will tell what Lon thinks. lol

I'm with you. We just know how athletes/competitors are. Once they get out there, they don't want to come out. And they don't want to go at anything less than full speed b/c that's what they know and how they've always played. That's my only concern with Buddy. He goes balls out in his 5 mins vs a ****ty WVU team, and then reaggravates it and is lost for the season. BUT, after seeing the post immediately following yours (about his dunk), I feel a little better.
