Mario Little, who cares?


So here is the deal, Mario Little was suspended indefinitely for misdemeanor charges for battery, criminal damage and criminal trespassing. Now the question on many people's minds I am sure are how will this affect our team? The answer is it won't! Mario Little is one of the biggest busts, right next to Withey, to hit the floor at KU! He is really just another body, on an already stacked team, to put on the floor. I feel that this was a blessing in disguise. If you think about it, Mario Little was a Guard and so is Selby, Taylor and oh yes Elijah Johnson! This will increase the minutes that Elijah will get. I understand that we are losing some height with Elijah replacing Mario Little but put this in perspective...Elijah Johnson is a top 100 recruit, so is Taylor and so is Selby. Picture them on the court at the same time and think of how fast our team will be with those three guards and the Morris twins running! Now let's try this again, picture Bill Self's recruits at U of Illinois when they went to the National Championship game under Bruce Webber. They had Dee Brown (6 ft. 0 in.), Derron Williams (6 ft. 3 in.) and Luther Head (6 ft. 3 in.) and none of them even had anyone like the Morris twins in the front court! They had Roger Powell Jr. and James Augustine! As you can see we don't need a hassle like Mario Little and we have the talent and the athleticism without him to make a major run to the Final Four this year. And let's be honest here, wee really only want one Mario to be remembered at the University of Kansas because only one Mario really made an impact on the team...you know which one I am talking about! Mario Little is worthless and him being suspended really saved Bill Self some aggravation when it comes to playing time and when it comes to Selby finally being a role player on the soon to be 2010-11 National Championship team! I am watching Selby this weekend and I hope you are too!
