I was at the Arkansas game in Raleigh, sitting in a neutral area of the crowd....when he came into the game the first time, there was audible chuckling and I could see people flipping through the program, seeing his weight listed as 295 and making jokes...it was pretty embarrassing....a lot of comments about how any coach could allow someone to stay on the active roster playing at that weight. I think Deandre would be a good fit on a Krispy Kreme-sponsored AAU team.... I thought it meant that they couldn't find a pair of candy cane striped warm up pants that would actually fit him.

I think sayind Deandre isn't a good fit is based on the uptempo style of play he likes and that ain't Deandre

I think Eli got use to IU only have ONE big man and he wanted to be that ONE big man…prediction…..
* Armon Bassett to UAB or Cincy

I'm still thinking with Dumes, Crawford, Williams, McGee and maybe Sutton at center and you have a little something to work with. Crawford can carry the team we all know that. Hopefully they cut him loose next season. I do have few questions though….
