Best is beefing up -- McConnell & Souza tops academically

Here's a portion of a post at the UC Irvine basketball message board: "...Mike Best who weighed only 187 last year has put on over 30 lbs and grown an inch..." 

I believe he was an injury redshirt this past season.

Also noted: "...Dr. Thomas Parham, UCI's Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, noted scholar-athlete distinction for Derick Flowers, Adam Folker, Reed McConnell, Travis Souza and Michael Wilder..."
