FSU Basketball Update: FREE DERWIN KITCHEN!

Seminole basketball fans have waited all season for the NCAA to make a ruling as to JUCO transfer Derwin Kitchen's eligibility. The wait is over. Kitchen will be suited up tomorrow night as the Noles take on Georgia State on the road. The hope is that Kitchen will supply some needed depth at the guard position, specifically at the point guard spot. If Kitchen is able to run the point all-ACC guard Toney Douglas will be free to move over to the 2-quard spot and do what he does best, score. This also means the pressure on freshman point guard Luke Loucks is somewhat relieved as he will not be relied upon to carry as big a load. If you saw Louck's performance against Northwestern you undoubtedly know that he needs a little time to adjust to the college game. (Though, to be fair, Loucks has looked much better in other games, especially so against UF). We will see what Kitchen brings to the table tomorrow night when he puts on the garnet and gold for the first time.
