Good Article, favorite portion was this quote 

 

The biggest adjustment for Hawkins and roommate Tai Webster from New Zealand has been dealing with snow and cold weather.

“I was in the car with Tai yesterday,” Hawkins said, “and he said, ‘This snow wasn’t that bad.’ I said, ‘Tai, this is not the only snow we’ll get.’ And he says, ‘There’s going to be more?’

Hilarious

I had avoided this thread since I thought it might be an expose of S/M tendencies in one of our players. Instead it was somewhat of a puffy page filler by Barfy giving the impression that these guys come from the tropics. There must be snow in New Zealand since there is a ski industry there. From personal experience in Texas, I can vouch for snow there as well, even in El Paso and San Antonio, which are further south than Dallas. Nevertheless, the article is lighthearted and brings up another point. Is Fuller red shirting this year or not? Does anyone know for sure since he has not played in any regular season games yet as far as I remember.

ive gotta assume so, and if what miles thinks is true, and he wants to groom him to be a 4, he may need the redshirt year to gain some weight.

Yes, Fuller is redshirting. It was brought up earlier in the year that Fuller approached Miles asking to redshirt.

But he is still suiting up for games correct?

Now this I don't know for certain. I guess I haven't paid real close attention to this the last couple games. I know he started out the season suiting up.

I would believe Fuller redshirts.  I bet he still suits up just in case we tear 5 ACL's in a game and we need players... at which point he may play.

That is what I thought I had heard, that he will suit but will sit and take the red shirt. But if some horrible happened...
