RE: [Celtic_Pride] Au revoir, Poodle Boy

There is a couple things about McCarty.
He played the 5 at Kentucky so he has some knowledge of the position.

He also stated, in an interview, at the beginning of last season that he
hadn't spent any time working on basketball during the off season but had
spent his time on his record company.  Perhaps he has done something
basketball related this off season so he can contribute more.  Hard to
believe  that as athletic as Moiso was that McCarty is such a step up
compared to last year.

Let's hope everyone is ready to start camp in bball shape this year and give
the team a jump coming out of the gate.
