The Kenny Brooks thing really ticked him off and I didn’t speak ill of it at all.

I’d worry more about him following WBB really.
JackDSML • 12/04/24 10:21 AM ET

The size of a soccer field GREATLY increases
hoosnowahokie • 12/04/24 01:06 PM ET
The difference is even more pronounced in basketball due to spacing

I'll have you know I led Thomas Harrison Jr. High in rebounds a mere 15
BG Hokie • 12/04/24 02:04 PM ET
