Maybe with the new regime he will be less prone to injury. Great work by Pruitt, and good decision by DKJr.

More than a few. And when you think of what he had to start from, this isn't by accident, but design.

He looks like Shirley from What’s Happening? He should cut it ASAP imho.

If he had wanted to get his masters elsewhere, I couldn't begrudge him leaving. However, I am glad he is staying.
