My Thoughts On Tony Cascio
Cascio is getting a lot of hype as a mid round pick. I am not buying the hype. I really believe Cascio has an amazing Connecticut team surrounding him. Maybe its just me, but this seems like a case where a player is getting excessive hype. Cascio is a good college prospect. I do get the feeling there are better players on his team. At the end of the day it really would not surprise me if someone overdrafted him.
