Why take the time to try and contend one isn't great and the others are, when in reality what Boeheim and several other coaches that Gottlieb mentions in his piece have done are all great.

"An amazing young man named Victor Porter messaged me on Facebook yesterday," Thomas wrote. "It’s amazing because you never know the impact you can have on someone’s life."
Brandon Sharpe and Shamarko Thomas have a gift this Christmas morning for all the angels who have stood by their side for the last several years.

The exec continued that he needs to work on "his decision-making; he has such a strong arm, he tries to show it off too much, he needs to work on his finesse game, his touch," but said that while he's seen as a third- or fourth-round pick, Nassib could conceivably go in the second round, particularly considering his experience under Marrone, who was Sean Payton's offensive coordinator with the New Orleans Saints in 2006.

The only real opposition Otto could give to a mountaineer is massive doses of Vitamin C (which a mountaineer could probably use some of), leading to a quick demise for the loveable orange. Otto might also want to be careful when dealing with the mountaineer mascot because he's been known recently to use his rifle for more than West Virginia football games.
