Anyone who remembers?Jahlil Okafor or (reaching way back to ancient times) Anthony Davis knows that freshmen can be amazing. In fact even a somewhat less celebrated one-and-done performer like Jabari Parker?was both a statistical wonder and, like Okafor and Davis, a consensus first-team All-American.But those guys all played for Kentucky or Duke, and, as detailed below, one thing weve havent seen in the last five years is an Okafor- or Davis-level immaculate season from an elite freshman at a program other than one of the usual suspects. For example, LSUs?Ben Simmons?earned some All-American nods on his way to being the No. 1 overall pick, yet a season in?which the Tigers missed the NCAA tournament and where SEC player of the year honors went to Kentuckys?Tyler Ulis?was, often as not, termed disappointing.Living up to the hype as an elite freshman is very difficult. And, apparently, one thing thats even more difficult is living up to that hype for a team that stands just outside the very top echelon of college basketball.This is the tendency that an extraordinary talent like Washingtons?Markelle Fultz?will be going against this season at Washington. Brent Burns Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. Joe Thornton Jersey . The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year. "We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. http://www.cheapsharksjerseyschina.com/ .

Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. Sharks Jerseys From China . He says so-called TRT is only one problem and he wants to go even further than the ban. "Its about time," St-Pierre told reporters at a promotional event in Montreal on Friday. "I think its a good thing. Aaron Dell Jersey . Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. Jim Grobe came out of semiretirement to help Baylor get through a tumultuous season. After that is done, he has no plans to coach again.Grobe said Monday that he told new Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades early in the season that he didnt want to be a candidate to be the full-time coach. That conversation came a month into the season when the Bears were still undefeated, and before their current five-game losing streak.Honestly, football needs a fresh start, Grobe said the start of his weekly news conference on the Waco campus. Im very, very proud of our players who have remained loyal to Baylor. Theyve given me 100-plus reasons for hope in these difficult times.The 64-year-old Grobe had been out of coaching for two seasons when last May he accepted the role as Baylors acting head coach. He said he committed then through January, which would include being part of the Bears bowl game, and now expects to be retired and playing golf after that.Despite some rocky times , Grobe says he has no regrets about taking over when Baylor suddenly dismissed two-time Big 12 champion coach Art Briles after a report alleging that the university mishandled complaints of sexual assault.Ive not ever had the mindset that I was doing more than helping out, Grobe said earlier on the Big 12 coaches teleconference. Its been a little more challenging than I expected. ... The thing that I have found that I expected to find is a lot of really good kids. Thats what weve got to stay focused on. Those are the guys that have probably been hurt the most.Baylors search for a new coach likely will intensify this week since many schools have already completed their regular seasons.The Bears (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) play their regular-season finale Saturday at 14th-ranked West Virginia (9-2, 6-2), which is Grobes home state.Even though Baylor has lost five in a row since starting 6-0 to get bowl eligible, any suggestions of the school turning down a bowl berth seem moot. The Big 12 has seven bowl slots to fill and will have only six bowl-eligible teams, including the Bears.dddddddddddd.Baylors skid started with a 35-34 loss at Texas, which came after a group of Baylor regents first provided some details about some of the allegations against Briles in a Wall Street Journal article.A week later, the Bears suffered their worst home loss since 2005. They lost 62-22 to TCU a day after assistant coaches and several staff members issued a statement on Twitter expressing their support for Briles and disputing claims by regents that the former coach knew of an alleged gang rape.All the assistants were retained from Briles staff. They included the former coachs son, offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, and his son-in-law, running backs coach Jeff Lebby.We got through the first six games pretty well, and for a couple of weeks lost some focus, some things in the press and our coaches were upset, that in turn upsets the players, Grobe said. Weve really played hard the last few weeks. We just havent played well enough to win.This is Grobes 20th season as a head coach at the FBS level, having previous led Wake Forest (2001-13) and Ohio (1995-2000).When he initially got to Baylor , he said he had missed coaching and didnt discount the idea of being there longer. But even as the Bears got off to a good start in September, he quickly informed Rhoades -- who started at the school in mid-August -- that he had no intention of staying past this season.I wanted him to know early on that no matter how the season turned out -- it has nothing to do with anything thats happened over the past five games -- that I was not a candidate, Grobe said. That I was here to help for a season and that Id be out of here and he needed to start his search and be focused on finding the next best guy for Baylor.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
