Stetson Billings - doing things right

I have long been convinced of the principle that if you do things the right way, good things will happen in due time. I think Stetson Billings if an example of that. Far too often players (expecially true freshmen) are thrown into the fray too early and are expected to deliver before they develop to that point - and their future gets stunted as a result. They do not have time to learn the right way. That has not been the case with Stetson. He has not been asked to score in his first two seasons, but from everything the coaches tell us, he is soaking up their teaching and developing nicely in his game. Sure, he is coming along very slowly, and sure, he may never be a great scorer; but there is every reason to believe that over the next two seasons he is going to be good at what he is supposed to be doing - and the team will be the gainer because of it. When you do things right, good things happen. Expect it.
