Saturday the basketball team bids farewell to a rather, different group of seniors. One, a walk on that came in during the Andy Kennedy "year" and stayed through thick and thin paying his own way. One, a McDonald's All American that left Texas only to get hurt and loose a year at UC. One, a football player that stepped in when needed, but then stepped aside when the coach recruited some basketball players. Today two of the seniors and the coach "reminisced".
First, Brandon Miller. A Player who's importance to the program may not get the attention it deserves.
Mike Williams came to UC as ready to help as much as he was needed to help, then he tore his achilles tendon and lost another year. At seasons end the proper paperwork will be filed with the NCAA to see if he can get a 6th year. Remember Ben Mauck? Mike will be recognized Saturday with hopes he will see it again next year.
Connor Barwin was not included in the press conference but he will be involved Saturday. Like Brandon Miller, Coach Cronin said that Connor was more important to the survival of the program that most will ever realize. He is also happy that his "football player" will be there Saturday, with his parents.
Tickets are on sale for the game Saturday for $10.
These seniors deserve a full house. Game time: Noon. TV ESPN 360
