What's a full roster? 13, right?

I guess there's that ex-gator comming in as a walk-on.

Maybe Coach will return a few of last year's walk-ons.

Btw, how many non-scholarship players can the team have?

Here's a nightmarish thought: What if Jones doesn't qualify?

And what's holding up the Eastern Europe signee?

My gut tells me Jones will not be eligible until the Spring semester.  That's just my pure intuition.  It's not based on any rumor or factoid.

I think Jones will be eligible... i think him transferring to a cc to focus on academics was a step in the right direction, so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt... but then again there is that whole indian burial ground thing. ;)

I also have a feeling Graham will be back and i expect flowers back.  I'm hoping for graham.  He has a year left and he started last year and gave us very important minutes and was a leader on the team in terms of energy.  He might not be big east caliber but he sure lifts the energy level of other players.

I think we'll have a full roster.  I'm not sure whether the 5-8 rule disappearing would help us this year, and if it doesn't, losing it would probably give a bigger advantage to the Duke's of the world.  then they can sign MORE all americans leaving less players for the middle tier schools to pick from.  If you have a great recruiter, then the 5-8 rule disappearing can help, but if not, it could make things worse.

Joey Graham was recognized on "Senoir Night". I think that means that his elegibility has run out!

Not Joey, Brian... and it doesn't mean it ran out... it means that Mac expected to have a full roster and didn't know if he would need him so he wanted to make sure he gets his standing ovation in case he doesn't play.  I'm 95% certain he can play next year, if he wants... he's never played under a scholarship.

Give him a schollie for a yr if the 5/8 rule is dropped & he wants to comeback.  He's definitely deserving.
