Dear Dakota,
I’m sorry. I’m sorry you didn’t make an All-B10 team this year. I know that this will be read as a loving homage from a homer to his player, but I don’t care. It has to be said. I’m sorry. You don’t deserve to not be recognized.
Maybe it’s an Indiana thing. Maybe as someone who was born in this state, who has breathed and played and loved basketball as much as any family member my whole life, it is just second nature for me to appreciate what you do on a basketball court. Maybe it’s something you only notice when you watch almost every minute of your play this year - I admit, I didn’t really find myself stuck to the television when we played Rutgers.
