Ton of stuff going on today, so the breakfast will be extremely brief. But no worries, we have all offseason to covering these topics. We've got time.

Mick Cronin spoke with Bill Koch yesterday about the the high-octane offense he plans for next year. He hopes to run 10-11 guys every game and push up and down the floor. With one of the top point guards in the country and no consistent offense in the post of Yancy Gates caliber, plus a team of big men who run the floor extremely well, an uptempo pace would seem to be a perfect fit.

For that to happen, the crew of freshman must become more consistent and Shaq Thomas needs to contribute a Kilpatrickian redshirt freshman impact.

Most people I've talked to around the program believe he can add just that. If he does, look out. With so much talent on the perimeter, particularly in shooting the 3-pointer, as I documented in the Breakfast on Tuesday, evolving into a run-and-gun attack seems the inevitable move.

There's only one group of people beyond the players who must be happier about this development and that's the fans. Hold on to your seats next year.

Since I know you are probably devastated at the brevity of today's Breakfast, I will offer you some great news.

Ron Burgundy showed up and had a small -- aka huge -- announcement to make on Conan last night. Anchorman 2, I'll be first in line.
