Parker Dalton has fought back from right shoulder surgery and cancer to sport the best batting average on the team and 3rd best in the Big-12 (.422). Despite the recovery, a less than stellar performance last year, and a number of highly rated incoming freshman, Dalton has worked his way back to a starting role at second back. Amazing.

The DeAndre Jordan story is dragging out a bit. DJ's AAU coach, Byrton Smith, has not changed his story ( "As far as I know, he's still committed to A&M"), but comments from DJ himself would make any Aggie squirm. "I don't know what the future holds right now. I'm just trying to feel out the staff [at A&M] and see how they are." Cross your fingers that the meeting between Turgeon and DJ on Sunday goes well, very very well. This might cheer you up, DJ said that leaving the choice of college question blank was "merely an oversight."

Brent Z likes to get us all rilled up, but I am officially ignoring all Gillispie/A&M stories. Turgeon is the only coach I care about.
