Please Recycle - Separate into Glass, Paper, and Hack Columns

The NCAA Tournament must be coming soon-because we have to read about how the freshman aren't freshman any more. Also, the Purdue freshman aren't freshman anymore. I could go on, but you can do a search for "matured a lot" and "really grown up" and "light years ahead of where he was" all by yourself.

I understand that these freshman have now played more than thirty games, and are more experienced than when the season started. 30 games > 0 games. I got it. But they are still freshman. I know this, because that is what their matriculation status is. Corey Fischer is a freshman until he's a sophomore, regardless of how many basketball games he's played this year.

Please, stop printing the same column every year about how this freshman or that freshman has grown up. Just stop. They're still freshman. Hell, some of them will still be freshman next year. A player's class is all about going to class, not the number of basketball games they've played this season.
