Around SBN: Which Players Will Join The 3,000-Hit Club?

Victor Anderson named Big East Rookie of the Year

Vic Anderson became the first Louisville player to be named Big East Rookie of the Year when he was honored with the distinction Wednesday morning.

The St. Xavier High School product led the Cardinals with 1,047 yards rushing (the fifth-highest total in the conference) and eight touchdowns. He became the program's 13th 1,000-yard rusher, and its first since Michael Bush in 2005.

Senior captain and center Eric Wood was one of three repeat selections to the Big East's first team offense, Pitt's LeSean McCoy and West Virginia's Pat White being the others. He was joined on the first team offensive line by fellow senior George Bussey.

Anderson, wide receiver Doug Beaumont, returner Trent Guy and linebacker Jon Dempsey were all second team selections.

Pitt middle linebacker Scott McKillop was named Defensive Player of the Year, and in a bit of an upset, UConn running back Donald Brown bested McCoy for Offensive Player of the Year honors. Cincinnati's Brian Kelly became the first person to be named Big East Coach of the Year in back-to-back seasons since Miami's Larry Coker did it in 2001 and 2002.

Big congrats to Vic, our lone beacon of sanguinity for the next nine months.

Ditto...

Vic’s one of the few things to be excited about for the 09-10 season. Here’s to hoping he stays despite the state the program is in.

I plan to be in the possession of a red #20 jersey. Please stay Vic.

Congratulations

to Mr. Anderson. Now if the staff can recruit some offensive line replacements for next year, and a quarterback who might be able to throw OVER an on-rushing D-line, then perhaps Vic will have an opportunity to shine again.

In all honesty, my perception of Kragthorpe is so low, and his recruiting credentials so thin, I have no cause for optimism as long as he’s allowed to stay at the helm of the program. I mean, read the cliche’ mumblings from the guy in this morning’s CJ. “We’ve got to find some guys who can come in and play right away.” Ya think?

Of course the only thing he could say that would please me is “You know, I’m sorry I screwed things up so badly; sorry I basically destroyed a program that had just established itself in the national top ten. I’m so sorry that I’m resigning and going back out west never to be heard from again.”

That, my friends, is change we could live with.
