sportingnews.com's Sean Devaney reports: "WORD IS TEXAS POINT GUARD T.J. FORD'S STOCK is tumbling, because of his lack of size and strength. He measured at a good height -- 6-0 -- in Chicago, but one source says he could not bench press 185 pounds."
Nice.

By contrast, I heard on the radio yesterday that Jason Keep, that monstrous center at the University of San Diego (who played against SMU last year in Moody) put up the standard 185 pounds (touching his chest with the bar in between reps) .... 27 times! New record for NBA prospects.
I thought when USD came to Moody that he had an NBA future. I still think so.
