Nice article! Covers everything you might want to know about TaShawn and what he has been going through in waiting for a decision.

I believe the quotes below may explain, at least in part, why he didn't have his best game last night. I said on another thread last night that he is not in "game shape," meaning he was not mentally prepared to play with such short notice, so his timing was off. I think we'll see a big improvement in his next outing. I know one thing, I'm thrilled that he has been cleared to play and he is on our team!:

"Of course," he said. "It was the first game at a new school. I wanted to be great. I didn't play nearly as good as I wanted to, but just to get that first game out of the way was just relieving. I've had a lot of stress over the last three, couple of months."

He'd have to get acclimated to an entirely new environment. He'd have new teammates, new coaches, new challenges.
