Word on the street is that Pledger has suprised virtually everyone with what he brings to the table since the day he stepped on campus. People think he's just a shooter because of his rep, but from what I've heard and read, he has shown up with a chip on his shoulder and is all about business. Word is that he has demonstrated he has handles, can play d, suprising athleticism, BB IQ, plus he has a pro body right now which suits him on the glass. Shooting ability is the great equalizer and he has that as well, so combine all that and I think you have your answer.
I've further heard that he has had the best summer of anyone on the squad regardless of position, and I think that if the rumors are true that WW runs the point, I think you see Steven as the starting 2 sooner rather than later. Mark it down- we got a "diamond in the rough" with Pledger, Fellas.
Sorry Lucky- no chance he redshirts this year, IMHO.
