In lieu of the OJ trial, the midweek lull this week seems to be centering on HB award people. I find it interesting that the general trend is towards not making it in the pros. But a similar trend exists for the Heisman in football, no? Maybe it is just the very small percentage of ANYONE who makes it to the big leagues in any sports .... and that the HB people, while perhaps slightly morelikely tomake it are still mostly very unlikely tomake it as any one individual would be!! Make sense to anyone? On the other hand, maybe we can focus on talents and desires and attributes that DO make the transiton to the pros by looking at some of the NON HB winners. Being an RPI fan, Oates, Juneau, McPhee and Puppa come to mind, but of course there are many others who were above avg in college but have made it sorta big time...... what do they have that translated to the pros that the HBs did not? is it the team that selected them? I feel Robb Stauber might finally blossom now that he is out from the Kings, for example. OTOH, I recalll Adam Oates was a superb playmaker in college and it continued in the pros, first with Brett Hullin St Louis, then onto Boston ..... then, of course, there is Brett Hull himself who never won it, but obviously is an excellent pro..... he played an incredible game against RPI and Oates in the 3OT semifinal NCAA game in 85, BTW... anyway, hope to start a minor thread here.
