Brooks = HYPE. Everyone loves his size and athleticism, but his production doesn't match his measurables. He would be smart if he came back to UVa, but there have been rumors of him and Groh "disagreeing" on some things this year and last, and I wouldn't be surprised if he declared and took a chance. Also, he has been injured a good deal this year, so his stock has definitely dropped from where it was last season.
Parham is a better player, but as the announcers said today, he sometimes plays "too high," causing him leverage problems. With that said, he makes plays all over the field. Today wasn't his best exhibition (was more like the Chris Long Show in the 2nd half), but he's a solid player.
