I also see the Cajuns are playing at Illinois in '08. I think I may have to see the Cajun football squad in person for the first time :)
Please, elaborate.Quote:

As I read this, I conclude he will have 1 and 3/4 season to play for us. He will be eligible after the semester ends next December. Therefore he will probably miss about 6 games next year.Quote:

Is that transfer from nevada a done deal? I only saw the online story saying he was leaving the unlv team. I never saw anything official.
If he does come here, is he eligible next year?
Neither have I seen anything about the transfer from UNLV. After all this I sure hope he is coming to UL.Quote:

In a way I dont know if I feel thsi guy is right for this team. He has had complaints about playing time there I dont want him to pull down team morel when he gets here.Quote:

He does not do anything for us this season and we will continue to have problems with strong post guys for the entire season. In fact, our next game is against FAU and they have one of the best inside players in the conference with a guy named Monroe.Quote:

Mabye is was just a bad fit for both, all I am saying is he was not a bad seed prior to his one game at UNLV, as far as I have been
able to find out.
So Coach Lee and company are bringing a bevy of big men. I like that because not everybody lives up to their hype, not everybody fits every program.
The more big men we get, the greater the odds one can contribute. He may pan out while one of the guys signed early becomes a disappointment. You never know which player will turn things around. If he is a problem, he won't last. Coach Lee seems to be able to get guys to focus. Proof is the way Southall got his act together his last year while the guys who sat out last year due to grades are now doing well academically and on the court. It's like bringing in Bureau this summer when we already had Dees and Milsap. It turns out he may be better than both. Quite a coup for Coach Lee to get this guy. LSU wanted him to play a year without a scholarship, but he chose to do that here. We got lucky there as he flew under the radar due to not playing summer AAU ball. As far as the UNLV transfer, I think he played one game this year in which he scored 15 points in 15 minutes. Obviously he thought 15 minutes was not enough in his mind which led to a parting of the ways. Regardless, it will be nice to see competition with inside guys next season. I bet the transfer toes the line as this is his last chance.Quote:

ps...I'm attempting to trash talk...are your spider senses tingling yet? :rolleyes:
With the guards and forwards we have, plus the big guys coming in next year should be interesting. When was the last time we had a pg have a double double? Should be one of the best teams we have had in years. Grandigo, Daigle, Gary, Bureau, The UNLV transfer who they say is a block machine, Barr, Milsap( who was Freshman of the year last year) Dison, Bloom. If anything the depth should be unreal. I say we should finish around 500 this year and the next two to three years should be interesting. It is just really fun to see a team grow up together.
I think that is Lon Kruger, not Ron. Otherwise, I'm with you on this.Quote:

We dont have a choice in the matter. A mid major needs an aircraft carrier? You WILL NOT sign one with any talent right out of high school as they are few and far between.Quote:

I believe that of the 3 big men coming in, Barr is the man. Until knocked off the perch, he starts. ImHoQuote:

Further, UNLV coach Lon Kruger made a choice to play the rest of the season with no Center rather than keep this guy on the team. That is bad.Quote:

This can be corrected with a strong leader. it's when the problems are "off the court" that things get a little too shaky at times.:rolleyes:
