Does not appear to be someone who can give us much help. Maybe they need to offer Lucas a scholarship

Starting to look like the coaches will be headhunting in the Rec Center in September.

Only in D1 few years, look at their OOC. They can have Wilson, I want their coach: http://gouvu.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball

I am only guessing, but I think there must have been a lot of friction with the coach. These guys got playing time, and none of them are good enough, based on the past year, to land on a D1 Major. So there must have been some really good reasons for them to abandon ship.

This is nuts. You can not build a team by starting fresh every year. Looks like we will be cellar dwellers again next year. If you are counting on the players who sat this year, DON'T. Have never played a minute for us, you have NO IDEA what we are going to get. And for the final touch, here comes the Tweet from K-Lac

It was not luck

Technical foul

I was referring to Sayles. Diak has never played one minute for us. He is an unknown. He could be a bomb or THE BOMB.

People who can't play don't count for computations.

But that assumes a guy who was always in foul trouble, a guy returning from open heart surgery, and a guy who was badly injured dunking and may not be as aggressive (it sure would get into my head). Nowhere is there a starting C that can be depended on. At this point.

Stacked with midgets. D1 hoops wise, they are all bigger than me.

He looks a little stiff and bent over when he comes down.

By the way, if anyone cares to look, I think you will see that I had posted during the recruiting season for this year, when KD was still there, WTF, no bigs on the recruit list. This was a glaring problem two years ago, we never had anyone on the horizon to replace Big Dog.

We only have one big. K-Lac. 6-8, 6-9 is not really a D1 center these days. I am well aware that the cupboard was bare, and that it was not Groces fault. But face it, compared to past years we were SMALL, and it killed us. Two guys hurt, K-Lac in foul trouble, the next biggest guy on the team 6-6. We have to fix that.

We must agree to disagree. EMan may or may not be back. Much too soon to tell. That will be up to his doctors as the season gets closer. No one can predict that future. Sayles was starting to look good, then he got hurt. Aside from not being a true center, my concern is that he may be gun shy because of the way he got hurt. I would not blame him. I am a big fan of Klac, but clearly he was thrust into a role he was not ready for. Sure hope he stays and improves. All that being said, KD was right, we have to be built for the Mac. That is where we live. Over that span of years where we got to the title game year after year, we almost always had a height advantage. Zeke, Big Dog, Pat, Tree, Jake, Reggie, these were all big guys. This year there were times our tallest guy on the Court was 6-6. We can NOT win in the Mac with that size. And don't tell me about the Dance. The game you refer to, we did not have a PG AND two of our starters got sick and barely made it into the arena. Fast athletic guards are a good thing, we are not winning in the MAC without a GOOD big man.

We NEED a big. MUST save that last scholly for a big. We won in the Zeke and Big Dog years mainly because we had a dominating big. This year, if nothing else, shows the folly of playing small.

And who knows if we will even keep all three red shirts

Another season of guys who never played together. I have to be Debbie Downer on this one. Unless Groce can score a GOOD big man and a starting PG we will look back on this one as a good year.

Athletics attracts students.

Sounds like it will only affect people who do not have a cable subscription to ESPN.

I am entering the draft too. I am 5-8 200# and 69 years old. I have as good a chance of being drafted as Antino. Maybe a better chance, I will work for less.

He definitely had game, but was too big for his britches for what he brought to the table.

One of the things that made it a transition year was Antino leaving.

Didn't he have to sit out this year?

I declare these proceedings closed. See you in the fall!
