Adam James, whom Red Raiders head coach Mike Leach confined to a dark storage shed after suspecting the player of exaggerating or fabricating a head injury, emerged from isolation Monday saying he 'felt great' and that his time in the shed was 'exactly what [he] needed.' 'At first I thought it sounded stupid, even kind of cruel, but I have to admit it worked like a charm. My head feels awesome, 100 percent,' said James, who was surprised to learn that during his recuperation Leach had been fired. 'That shed is magic. Coach was right all along. He's a great guy.' James' father, ESPN college football reporter Craig James, has taken time to praise Leach and his shed-confinement practice on the air and will reportedly contact university officials to advocate Leach's reinstatement.
