He recurited the players who literally "gave up" the last part of the season. The only way they should accept an invitation to the NIT is if Calhoun plays the people who will be returning next year...............which by the way is not an NCAA winning team.

FYI, that was the short list on kick returners. Lang and others will get chances, too. Yes I believe he’ll be eligible but I’ll be sure to ask during spring practice next week.

]]> Comment on The final curtain? by Bill Walsh http://blog.ctnews.com/ostrout/2010/03/09/the-final-curtain/#comment-354 Bill Walsh Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:48:49 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/ostrout/?p=1892#comment-354 Forget Dyson All he did was sulk on the court the whole game. And forget about Calhoun ever again winning anything meaningful. He is delusional at best right now, thinking he will "discover" another great basketball player from Africa. Forget about Thabeet, the last "great one" who was pumped up by Calhoun's friends in the news media to the number two position in the NBA draft. When last seen, he was demoted to a minor league team because he is so awful at real basketball. How many eally good players come out of Africa? The latest ones on Uconn's team are truly bums. They never played AAU ball or any other type of American basketball that prepares young guys for college. One of those guys is getting bald; he must be thirty. I'm not being racist by writing this, but I have to wonder why the best players on Duke are both white kids who know hot to score points in bunches and play defense. After rooting for Uconn for over fifty years, it is now sad to see the game passing by coach Calhoun. Time for the NEW guy, whoever he might be to come onboard.

I was looking at the kick returners you mentioned and there's no experience there besides Todman and I'm sure he can use a rest now that he'll be getting the bulk of the carries. I know Lang returned a kick for a TD last season and if he's able to play I would assume he gets thrown in the mix as a returner. Any word on Mike Lang and if he’ll be eligible to play come fall?
