was the play of Fred Thomas. Just a great all around game for him. We had two players on the SEC All-Freshman team, and Thomas may wind up being a better college player than either of them. I'm really excited to see what these 3 are going to do next year now that they have an understanding of what college basketball is like.

I like him alot. He has a higher upside than Sword. If he can get the mental part of the game, he is going to be a really good player for us.

Black mamba? Funny. Sword can be a good player for us, but his shot mechanics are atrocious. I'm never a big fan of having a guy change his shot at this point in his career, but with him it may not be a bad idea. He needs to completely rework it this summer, or it isn't going to get much better.

I like that those 3 all bring something different to the table, 3 good pieces to build a team around. Ware is going to be a beast in the post, Sword is your wing-slasher, and Thomas is your shooter (though he can also drive).

Bloodman improved, but add a solid creating PG and some post depth, and we will be a good team in a couple of years. Assuming, of course, that these guys progress as hoped. They'll be better next year by simply having more time to rest, too.

Thomas is also great defensively. Nice long arms that disrupt a lot of passes and shots. Sword reminds me a little of Jamont Gordon.

Both of them need to work on their shooting.

Thomas has struggled shooting this season, but I've been very impressed with his defense.
