MTS sound in first preseason practice



Middle Tennessee did not get a head start on the preseason for the 2007-08 campaign by conducting a Midnight Madness or something similar but it appeared the Blue Raiders were already ahead of schedule when they hit the court for their first preseason work out Saturday morning.

SILENT LEADER: O'Neil is not a vocal person and he has a soft-spoken demeanor but the junior from Newark, N.J., has emerged as a leader among the Blue Raiders' many veterans entering the 2007-07 campaign.

It's not a role O'Neil has sought rather it is one he has earned due to his work ethic. It is also a role he doesn't mind filling.

"I enjoy being a leader and helping my teammates come along," O'Neil said. "When that happens it makes you feel better because you are helping your team get to that next level."
