His enthusiasm on the bench was contagious. I loved watching him react when someone in the game made a critical shot or made a crucial defensive play.

He is one of those kids that is great for chemistry regardless of how many points he scored or rebounds he gathered.

I am really surprised by this news, but nothing really shocks me any more. This does not even begin to compare to ODB's departure after his sophomore year or Jeronne's departure in the middle of the year. For that matter, it is nowhere near as surprising as Mbakwe's skip-to-my-Lou departure a day or two before the start of classes.
