Posted Aug 18, 2011
With Ryan Houston and Giovanni Bernard being held out of contact due to injury recovery, the starting role in practice now falls to A.J. Blue who hasn’t played in a year due to his own recovery process. “My freshman year I felt like I could make cuts and nothing would happen to me and I’m getting back to that. I feel good about that." (Carolina Blue)
