Mooooooooooves 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Dick Vitale has already apologized to Dwight in person and told him "I was so wrong about you, you were ready from day one" or something to that effect. It was when Dwight threw out the first pitch for a Rays game last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Vitale has already eaten a bunch of crow about that. Last time I heard him asked about it, he said that he'd gotten clearly wrong, he was happy for Dwight, and he really wished that he'd gotten to see what Dwight would've been like in the NCAA.

Berto 338 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 You can't really hold it against Vitale (a college guy) for thinking the college player of the year was better than a raw high school kid. I know I wanted Okafor, as did many, but I have no problem eating those words. That was an opinion I'm glad the front office didn't share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His highlight videos were beast. i wanted him too. he seemed like such a nasty kid coming out of high school with that kind of height and being his size. i knew he'd get big. and if im correct, i remember him beasting in the McDonald's All-American Game. (Which also got me ready for Oden, which was unfortunately a let down due to injury =/) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
