... what, like he didn't have pressure before??? Yes, but this story points out the pressure to win when you get extremely high caliber players (like 3 McD AA's) who may only stay around for a year. Also, some interesting comments on Randolph Morris:
"Certainly while he's there, they'll have a huge advantage in the frontcourt," Harrington said of Morris. "You won't have to talk about upside with Randolph Morris. He doesn't have to improve a lick and he'll be a good college player."
Oak Hill Academy Coach Steve Smith saw Morris as an exceptional recruit.
"A big guy that good doesn't go to college anymore," Smith said. "I don't think they'll be a transition period. He has the body. Some seniors in college don't look that good."
Not that Morris lacks weaknesses. As a high school star, he acquired a reputation as a player who coasted at times. "He could be so dominant, he didn't have to give maximum effort all the time," Gibbons said. "In college, he will."
