I just read that. I think the tone would have to be described as "glowing".
Between Katz and Bilas, ESPN college basketball loves the Hoyas. Aside from that Gottleib bastard.

That's great. Who is the CBS Sportsline writer that just slammed Roy for staying? Doyle? Anyhow, someone send that article to that guy...

Doyel slams everybody; it's his style. Gottlieb is a disgrace to the name Doug. He's utterly useless and it's classic to watch him make pronouncements and predictions only to equivocate when he's proven wrong. At least Doyel, Barkley, Walton, etc are entertaining. Gottlieb is just a waste of human space.
Katz has a big man-crush on Roy. And why not? Has society become so cynical that we can't see the embodiment of the ideal anymore? Isn't Roy the kind of guy society should want in college hoops in general? Citing his education, talking about his long-term non-sports goals, working his kiester off to become better for his coach and his school ... to me that's an inspiration and a great message to up-and-coming ballers.

The CBS guy was Gary Parrish. Doyel has historically been pretty friendly to the Hoyas, but I don't think he writes much on college basketball anymore.

Parrish is the guy who was just trashing roy. He can read this one and see how an intelligent and articulate columnist actually writes

Doyel made a name and got a promotion by being fairly in depth, yet trashing everyone. Now he writes national columns -- which means he just chooses his topic -- so he has no depth but still trashes everyone.
You can tell Parrish is a nicer guy at heart, but is either trying to mimic Doyel or has been told to do so, b/c he sucks at trashing people but still tries. My guess is Sportsline is making him. Doyel's "Hate Mail" would get many, many times the page views of the sum of the articles that the "Hate Mail" was written about... in other words, a whole lotta people only read him when it was people hurling insults at each other on a subject completely unknown to the reader.
Don't hate the writers; hate the readers.

We said it about Jeff and we will be saying it about Roy all year -- you can't come up with a better, classier representative of the basketball team and the university. Roy shows what being a student-athlete is all about.

Anyone else feel like the inclusion of DJ White in that article was a little out of place? As Katz mentioned, White was a 2nd rounder, not a lottery pick. And White didn't return to school because he loved school; he returned to improve his stock. So many others would fall under that category. Roy is the only Roy in every way. But I must say I love how ESPN, especially Katz and Bilas, has become big proponents of ours and our players. Go Roy!!!

Katz always does a good article for us, and that was a good article about Roy. Good luck Roy.
