6:56
ace williams: i have heard the name Eric Williams several times in last few weeks
6:56

ace williams: they are keeping him as an option . . . fallback option
6:56
Comment From Jeff

6:57
ace williams: Garnett will have a spot no matter whar

7:01
Comment From Jones
Two questions: Will Weis do a good job at Kansas and what is your response to Brian Kelly telling Treadwell that he shouldn't pick a school based on his relationship with the coaches?
7:01
ace williams: i cannot see Weis doing well at Kansas . . they have worst D in NCAA history and he doesnt care about D. Nightmare
