I enjoyed watching him play his freshman year before injuries caught him a couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I was surprised he lasted this long. Still wish him the best. Pretty cool that he'll still have 2 years to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably will sign at least one or two and save the third for next year. We only have two scholarship seniors next year in Lang and Scekic.

bullballer Posted April 4, 2018 Group: Member Topic Count: 9 Content Count: 126 Reputation: 2 Days Won: 0 Joined: 05/12/2005 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Not at all. Holston had no impact on the team's success last season. Martin played well at times but was by no means consistent. He had the length of a PF/C but lacked the strength to be a consistent force down low both offensively and defensively. Jiggetts departure leaves the biggest hole statistics wise. LaQuincy should probably fill in nicely and we will actually have the luxury of a true PG to sub for him in talented true freshman Xavier Castaneda. Not to mention Collins, who although only being a sophomore next year, was our grittiest player by the end of the season and who seemed to put the team on his shoulders. We will have, again, a lot of new faces on the court next season, but we will have very close to a full roster. We haven't had one of those for one reason or another since I can't remember. And with that CBG will cultivate depth. Seeing CBG develop the patchwork team he had this year gets me excited for what he will do next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Martin's loss, but hopefully all the new faces won't take all year to gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that sounds nice but, the bolded part, I don't see a difference between last season and this coming season. There will be mostly all new parts again. Another season to gel and we can win 2 conference games at the end of next season. I hope you're right but I think I'll keep the $1,200 for season tickets for another sport or donation.
