08:23 AM ET 06.25 | Markus Kennedy will apparently be transferring from Villanova. Nearly a month ago, the sophomore forward had announced his intention to leave the Main Line after only one season. Then, according to sources, Kennedy decided he might want to reconsider. But after talking to coach Jay Wright, he's moving on. "We had a good talk," said Wright. "He's a wonderful kid. I respect his decision, and support it. We wish him nothing but the best." Kennedy averaged 3.0 points and 4.4 rebounds coming off the bench in close to 20 minutes a game last season. Sources have confirmed that Kennedy's primary reason for moving on were concerns over playing time and how he'd be utilized in Villanova's guard-oriented offense.

I'm puzzled at Coach Wright's roster philosophy. A "guard-oriented offense"? So who plays the 4 and 5 positions? A 6'3" jitterbug? They must be blessed with a 45" vertical jump.

Didn't believe he could dunk but was fortunate enough to see Spud live and in person when he was at the now defunct Wilmer Hutchins. threw one down his senior year at 5'6". He was in the air nearly as much as he was tall.

He could dunk (Spud)...I lived in Lancaster when he was going thru HS...same time as my daughter at LHS....he could definitely play....

Story about Lancaster High Football...our house was about 1/2 to 1 mile from the football stadium. When we first moved there heard the bell ringing from time to time and thought they had a pretty good team...ringing and crowd yelling and all...but then realized they were 0-8 and had only scored about 3 TD's all year....the bell and crowd noise was for 1st down's....LMAO!!!
