Great update on Dwayne Watkins
Al Michaels made the phrase famous, courtesy of the 1980 USA Olympic gold-medal winning hockey team.
"Do you believe in miracles???? - YESSS!"
Assistant basketball coach Jeff Moore has an amazing report on Demon basketball player Dwayne Watkins, critically injured Friday in an automobile accident on I-49 near Opelousas when his car hydroplaned and he lost control during a heavy thunderstorm.
I went to see Dwayne last night and I was amazed at his recovery since seeing him last on Saturday night. He is talking and his eyes are open. He was able to carry on conversation and told me several times he was hungry. He is able to move all his limbs, although he is more active with his right side than his left. They have a little 8 inch tv set up right in front of him to watch due to him still being in the neck brace.
I talked to his mother this morning and she said the doctor said this morning that he will be moved out of ICU later today and they would be starting some rehab as well.
As I was getting ready to send this out his mother called to update me again. They got Dwayne out of bed and had him raise his arms and walk forward, backward, and to the side. Unbelievable…
Dwayne, his family, his teammates, our staff, athletic department, university and community appreciate your continued prayers for Dwayne and his recovery!

Bell's stock climbing
ESPN.com writer Tim Graham says Buffalo offensive coordinator Turk Schonert and other Bills coaches are pushing to start former Demon Demetrius Bell at left tackle ahead of veteran Langston Walker. Bills head coach Dick Jauron said Monday it was a possibility.
Not a lot of seventh-round draft picks jump from practice squad member to starter. That tells you a lot about what people around NSU know about D-Bell -- he's a tremendous worker -- and clearly he has tremendous upside.

NFL Monday
Three NFL teams were represented at Monday's Demon football practice.
One scout told NSU pro liason David Rosen that he thought the Demons have six NFL Draft prospects for 2010.
Could make this fall a lot of fun!
