Like I said on the latest @VikingsATLPod — If Mike Zimmer isn’t ready to officially hand over the reigns to Keenum after *this* performance against *this* team, I’m not sure he ever will. Vikings put up 450 yards on an elite D. He still left the door open for Teddy.

UNC’s Kenny Williams hits first two threes of game. He was in the 2015 VCU recruiting class with Jordan Murphy before getting out of signed letter of intent when Shaka Smart left for Texas. Worked out for both kids.

Williams told me at the Final Four last season he was glad to see Murphy was doing well at Minnesota. They once dreamed of doing big things together with Shaka at VCU.
