Week recap...

Fresh off a loss that likely sealed their fate as NIT-bound, the Syracuse Orange starting five signed and returned an 8x10 photo I designed in just under two weeks care of the SU athletic department. Jonny Flynn, Paul Harris, Donte' Greene, Scoop Jardine, and Arinze Onuaku all signed the photo.

Former Miami (Ohio) quarterback Ben Roethlisberger signed a single index card care of his current NFL team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, in about three weeks. "Big Ben" holds every major passing record at the school, as well as several MAC league records.

Also signing was Illinois quarterback Juice Williams, who sent back a pair of index cards and a questionnaire care of the UI Athletic Department in just less than 8 months. Williams helped lead the Illini to this past season's Rose Bowl.

Rhode Island senior big man Will Daniels signed and returned a pair of index cards care of the athletic department in about 3 weeks. Daniels is the Rams' leading scorer, averaging more than 18 points per game this season.

Kentucky pitcher Scott Green signed and returned a pair of index cards and a questionnaire, and also wrote a nice note, care of the UK athletic department in about a month. Green is rated as the 12th best college player in the country this spring.

Also signing 8x10 photos were Michael Jordan, care of the Jump, Inc. organization, and Coach Mike Davis of UAB, care of email. The first success took a bit over a month, while the latter took just over two months.
