Can't wait to see the new Yancy in person. If he stays motivated this could be a great year.

Heard the same thing last year. Saw it in the Maui Invitational, then it disappeared after the team struggled a bit. The biggest question will be if he can maintain it throughout the year. Yancey Gates possesses all the physical tools to be the most dominant player in the Big East. The only thing missing is the passion to be.

Gates has the talent to be the dominant player in the BE, if he wants to be. The only thing that can stop Gates, is Gates. It's easy to forget at times that these are 19 and 20 year old kids, and it sometimes takes some growing up.

I hope he can sustain this new attitude. Frankly, he is the one true difference maker on this team. I think the season really turns on his performance. Let's hope for the best.

Look at how the team looked when he came to play, and look when he took the game off. Let's hope the new attitude is for real.
