Are you sure that 31 is a career high from donnie hale? For some reason, I thought he's been over 30 several times this season.

While we're on the topic, what is your asessment of him?

also, i think donnie is a great player, but the knock on him is he's between positions. he needs to improve his face-up game and outside shot to get the big time colleges looking harder. that said, i think he's in the same boat with dee davis: measuables aren't all that matter. if you can play, you can play. and hale gets it done on a consistent basis. someone will be lucky to get him. if purdue still has an offer available, i think he's theirs.
