More on Morris

Will he come to GT? Will he be a Cat? Only time will tell. This article from a UK paper looks at the McDonalds AA game and here is what it said about Morris:
------------------------------
UK may benefit from a player not going to the NBA. Randolph Morris, a 7-foot center from Fairburn, Ga., indicated that he wants to attend college.

Morris said he was debating between UK and Georgia Tech.

"Ultimately it's going to be based on what I can do in that system or where I fit in perfect," said Morris, who had eight points and three rebounds for the East.

Two All-Americans headed to UK were trying to convince Morris that fit is with the Cats. Joe Crawford, a 6-4 guard who had a team-high 15 points for the West, said he spoke to Morris. Rondo, who also played with the East, was Morris' roommate during the week.

"Every night I've been asking him what he's going to do," said Rondo, who had 14 points and four assists. "He said he's coming, but you never know."

At least Morris was clear in saying he wasn't going to try the draft. Some McDonald's players may have put too much pressure on themselves to perform in front of the many pro scouts, which included Pat Riley and B.J. Armstrong.

------------------------------

Now, Morris said it will be based on "where I fit perfect". In thinking about that statement and looking at both teams on the court, I don't get a warm-fuzzy. Now, "perfect fit" could mean a lot more than just on the court, so I will leave it at that for now. After his decision I will expound - but for now - Mr.Morris - GT IIIISSSS the perfect fit - can't you see.
