He's earned it. I don't even want to think where this team would be today without him. He's been terrific!

 

[CardsFirst]

A very positive person. He will succeed in whatever life gives him! Just a great young man. And your right without him it would be rough.

 

[Louisville JD]

What a great leader for this team! I think Coach is completely sold on the DAOers going forth. I say recruit that Baltimore area hard too...lots of good players there

 

[PHCARD]

This young man deserves all the recognition. We are blessed to have him, even if it's just for one year. It was the year he was most needed.

I was disappointed to hear that both Doris Burke and Dickie v did not list Lee in the top 6 ACC players. Allen, barber, Brice Johnson, brogdon and Jackson. Blossingame was listed as 6th man.
