That's freaking awesome. AWESOME for his development, for our team, everything. That it's happening with Rudy as apparently the backup 4... this is about as good an offseason we could have hoped for for our two best players, regardless of how they do at the tourney.
This is going to put to rest a lot of the irrational hate and disrespect that comes his way. Positive exposure. Playing for country. Loyalty, respect, and effort. The haters will fade.
Damn I'm getting excited for this season!
Also, this should be moved to the main forum so it will get more discussion.
