    Bo Thorpe and Ruben yes. I'm sure Holston will get another year, but Manderson is included in that class. Martin would be but I think he will maintain 2 years of eligibility.
  2. JoshuaG
    Well I suppose that's true, but then again I was hoping even when we added Manderson that we would keep that schollie for a true fresh. I just hope it pans out because our Junior class is gigantic and that's going to be a tough class to fill in for.

    I hear you, I was just excited to try to pull a few of the true fresh being recruited like LJ Figueroa. Now we have one schollie. So I'm hoping this doesn't limit us too much.
  4. JoshuaG
    Bittersweet for me only because we need the schollie space

    I saw the up and down votes here more like reputation points on other forum threads. As rep for agreed upon statements and topics and down for disagree (vehemently essentially) and the like. And for the record, even though I'm primarily a Bulls Basketball follower, I said we needed to ride QF when we were doing the MW thing.
  6. JoshuaG
    Yes and yes. I'm a little worried about Memphis right now, especially if they maintain the same core players.
  7. JoshuaG
    All very risky, if he isn't eligible and we get him we are left with one schollie for the incoming freshman class. Unless Khadim joins us, then we would have none.

    Thank you, I didn't see this one. My apologies.

    Most here know where I stand on COA. Yes, I'm going to get all into actual basketball things for those who care for more than bashing. Losing Perry is a terrible hit for us. I said at the couclusion of our tourney that we will need Perry's experience and post play to be an effective team this coming season. His dismissal leaves us depleted at the 4 and rotation at the 5 for small sets. We will have to play small ball which may work, for this team, but only time will tell. As for if COA stays, if he has a sub 500 record they oust him. If he floats above that it might buy him room (I'm thinking depending on the recruiting class). Can't do that because if we do we won't have schollies for incoming freshmen.

    Random note: Memphis hired Tubby Smith to coach. He is quite a coach with quite a resume. Next year is going to be interesting...

    Amendment to my prior post: Geno has two years of eligibility left. So if we use this schollie on a transfer we won't have but 1 schollie for incoming freshmen.
  12. JoshuaG
    Men's BB- I heard Malik Martin was supposed to be visiting. It was cited in another post as well. But other than that it's been quiet. I wouldn't mind saving the schollie for a freshman incoming since the only scholarship players that are seniors are Geno and Perry. So if we don't have a shot at landing a home run like the point AJ Harris, by all means let's take the chance to land a true freshman.

    I only got to see the last few minutes of the game and they were intense! Marcus Paige draining the double clutch...gorgeous. Then the three on the other side...ice cold. However, as nature tends to do, once it was over I found myself thinking about our team next year. I have seen Malik Fitts and Troy tweet each other and one suggests they have each other's phone number. Team chemistry is important to a young squad with a lack of experience in the locker room. If they can bring that chemistry on to the floor and turn it in to good timing and learning each other's habits early it would be tremendous.

    May 25th...that's a long wait
  15. JoshuaG
    Oh I wasn't mentioning him as a prospective target. Just happy we may not have to deal with him next season.
  16. JoshuaG
    Slightly off topic but on the subject of those searching a new program, Dylan Ostekowski is seeking a transfer from Tulane and in our first lost to them he pummeled us. Did some damage in our second game as well even though we won that one
  17. JoshuaG
    A comment after my own heart.
  18. JoshuaG
    I don't know why I've been thinking Tulio is taller than he is. I mean I think more is better either way, which is why I mentioned him as a hopeful target as soon as I saw his transfer. But you are right, Perry, Santos, and Tulio are all 6'8-9.
  19. JoshuaG
    Supposedly an issue of school policies not being followed, but it did seem to come out of left field.
  20. JoshuaG
    Daniel Giddens is a guy who wants to be closer to home (GA) that we could push for. But he is a scented and we may be borderline crowded at big man with a transfer. Whatever happens I HOPE what doesn't happen is us scramble for a player just to fill the schollie
  21. JoshuaG
    I'm gone a half hour and this happens!? Reading up on it now, I'll be back more informed
  22. JoshuaG
    I feel the same, it makes me wary of loyalty and convictions. I guess we shall see, and we will see how our lineup does without him at the beginning of the season.
  23. JoshuaG
    I was being sincere, every time I have found good recruiting info it's already been posted. More often than not it has more info than I initially come across so it's a great reference. And as far as he goes, word of his mid season transfer didn't excite me too much either.
  24. JoshuaG
    Keeping the recruiting page updated makes me happy, and I know that's the only reason anyone would do it. I would like to thank you for that while we are here.
  25. JoshuaG
    Well then, although I'm pretty sure the comparison was not meant to compare to that extent, I'll offer up appropriate alternatives for the lad. Alternatives that McM can grow into even if not there yet. Ty Lawson- speedy, can shoot the three, has a tough time in the lane but has the hops to put it down. DJ Augustin- Can also jump shoot but not the best. Good court vision Brandon Jennings- 6 footer, puts the three up in a hurry and has been pretty good at it (until rupturing his something or other). Has better handles than McBuckets yes. But again, time for growth. Smaller guards that can shoot and handle well are a valuable enough commodity.
