Countdown to Signing Day on Fox

Well, R.Morris was a no show tonight. The announcers said he was a "bit under the weather", but should make an appearance in the next two weeks. I'll be curious if the night he shows up if Bobby Cremins is there. The announcers (one of whom was at the announcement), said they were frankly shocked that he picked UK. They thought for sure he would be headed to GT. They cited Morris's chemistry with the other two McD AA's coming into UK and said the fit should be good for him there.

Coach Cremins did comment on the Morris decision. Here is what he said - "Listen, nobody likes to lose such a talented player from your home state, but don't feel sorry for Georgia Tech. They have three things going for them - 1 - they are returning a lot of talented players - 2 - they are bringing in an outstanding recruiting class and - 3 - they have Coach Paul Hewitt".

Couldn't have said it better myself.
