    They have this great women's basketball recruit, Lucy Furr, who is absolute fire from three-point range.

    Was she in The Devil In Mrs. Jones?

    Credit to Kenny Baker for that, I guess. 

    When he was hired, a lot of us had the Cleveland Indians fan's response in Major League: "Who's this fucking guy?"  The "I guess" qualifier is fair, I guess, because I'm not sure how much the fans can say the improved play from guys like Broughton and Collins was Kenny Baker's coaching.

    Just like Tom Cruise you see him trying SO hard you just gotta pull for him. 

    Historically, I don't see Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves on the same level.  Yes, Cruise seems to have gone exclusively to blockbuster big-money action movies over the past several years.  But he has a list of fantastic dramatic performances that blow anything Keanu has done out of the water.  Risky Business, The Color of Money, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, A Few Good Men, The Firm, Magnolia. 

    I know it seems like forever since Cruise has taken a role like those.  But those performances are way beyond Keanu's range. 

    I do like your "adequate actor but tremendous entertainer" label.
