That's cool, and it's good to see that he's getting some recognition. They could've found a better picture, though. Preferably one showing one of his sick passes (e.g. Iowa game).

But, you see, he's emerged from his cocoon as a beautiful butterfly. Get it? It's appropriate only for Darius Morris because no other player in the history of the NCAA has ever improved between his freshman and sophomore years.

So it's a totally appropriate nickname that that guy on BTN totally did not make up himself and was arrived at in a completely organic, natural fashion.

Brundidge, Burke, and Big Dog (Glenn Robinson) III  things could get interesting in the next few years.

 

JB could be getting his groove on.

Last year, before his freshman season started, I got to know Darius a little bit after having watched his recruitment the prior year. I told everybody that he'd be a special player — smart as a whip and incredibly talented — and that he and Peyton Siva would be immediate impact players in their respective conferences at the PG position. Then they both had mistake-riddled freshman seasons and I felt like maybe I was wrong. So it's nice to see both of them really coming into being elite PGs in their conferences this season. Siva was Big East POW last week and we've all seen Darius's "butterfly" season. Lesson learned: I'm always right, even when I'm wrong at first.
