Cole Aldrich: Another Faces in the Crowd in the national spotlight!

One of Takkle's first Video Faces in the Crowd has made the news recently as he played a good amout of minutes in the Kansas Jayhawks NCAA basketball championship victory. Cole Aldrich was a Video Face in the Crowd last March, who also won Mr. Basketball in Minnesota for 2007. Cole played a big role in the victory Saturday over North Carolina as he was menace all over the court coming up big defensively a number of times. Cole contributed 7 rebounds (4 of those being offensive rebounds!)and 8 points and 4 blocks in 17 minutes off the bench while providing a great disruption to All-American Tyler Hansbrough. Cole didn't get much time off the bench in the championship game but that was because Kansas was behind for most of the 2nd half, as he only logged 4 minutes and no points and no rebounds. Good Luck to Cole, I'm sure we'll be seeing more of him in the next 3 years at Kansas as he showed everyone on a national stage that he could really play.
