Trio of successes...

At long last, star Indiana freshman Eric Gordon signed and returned a pair of index cards care of the IU athletic department in two weeks. The first year sensation is leading the Big Ten with more than 21 points per game while shooting 40% from downtown.

Also signing was Drake sophomore guard Josh Young. That success, care of the Drake athletic department, took just under 3 weeks; Young signed a pair of cards, completed a questionnaire, and also included one of the nicest notes I've ever received. The Bulldogs' leading scorer, Young has led the team to a 22-2 start to the season with his superb 46.1% shooting from the outside.

Rounding out the week was star Arizona first baseman C.J. Ziegler, who signed a pair of index cards, completed a questionnaire, and included a nice note care of the UA athletic department in just over a month. In his first season at Arizona last spring, Ziegler hit .355 with 13 homeruns.
