MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Call it the Freshman 17.
That's how many minutes Alabama State's Bobby Brown played per game for the Hornets last season in his first year out of Lithia Springs High School near Atlanta as the team struggled to a 10-22 mark.
It wasn't what the 6-foot-6 high-flyer wanted.
But instead of bolting like six of his former teammates did for one reason or another past offseason, the Chicago native hunkered down and honed his skills once he recovered from surgery to repair a torn meniscus he suffered in March.
This season, he's playing close to 25 minutes a game and the Hornets are already 9-6 (3-1 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference), heading into their showdown with arch-rival Alabama A&M (6-8, 3-1) Saturday.
