The ACC invite was an incredible achievement back then.
I don't think anyone could have seen what we are seeing today with the P2 back in 2004.
I've been vocal on here about CKB reloading next year. #6 recruiting class... multiple freshman getting huge minutes this year... If CKB does end up taking the UK job and taking all of that with him, this will be devastating to the program. I have been so excited to see Silva in O&M, if there was a player out there to replace Liz it would be her
