There are some things you see coming, like Ty Lawson taking the ball the length of the court and hitting the game winner versus FSU.  This would definitely be another which is why I am thankful Roy Williams entertained the thought of recruiting John Wall only briefly.  According to ESPN, the SEC acknowledged that a [...]
