Basketball Recruiting update

_ My blog from early, early this morning:

USC Salkehatchie coach Travis Garrett told jucojunction.com Thursday that Riley has signed with South Carolina State.

Just confirmed with Garrett. Riley wanted to stay close to home to his family. _

In Josh's blog, he states he would be shocked if either Gary or Dison played again. Not surprising about Dison as he has to have surgery once more. However not everyone shares Josh's opinion about Gary. Coach Marlin told another media member that Gary looked good in the individual workouts. That person who was told this believes Gary may be able to help for 10 to 12 minutes per game next season.

I was told the same thing, so it will be interesting. Le'Ryan has been working out hard and he feels he can play. No one can know for sure if his body can handle to grind of a full season.

Ok now 2's and 3's can rebound but that is not a 2's primary goal. Ours are not agressive types but Travis and Chris did get rebounds. The problem lies in the 4's and 5's. The only 4'a we had where Tyren and Lamar and 5's were Colby and Javan. Now we have no 4's and picked up a 4/5. We need a dominate 4 if nothing else.

My opinion was whether Dison and/or Gary would play HERE again. I agree that Gary could possibly contribute 10-14 minutes per game off the bench. But the bottom line is it's up to Marlin and whether he believes it's worth keeping Gary on scholarship one more year or going with a 100 percent healthy newcomer.

Personally, I'd like to see Gary come back because he's a hard worker and was the heart and soul of the team two years ago before getting hurt.

Well if the 2s are not going to rebound. Lee shot himself in the foot by playing gradnigo, bureau, and daigle at the same time because they were not committed to rebound at either end of the floor. At somepoint one of the taller 2s has to play like a 3 and provide rebounding support. If gary can contribute he definitely will help on the boards as a 3.

Are we planning to sign anymore players?

Chaucy I know you mean well but let's look at numbers Tyren lead team in rebounds (239) second was Colby was second (111) then Chris (104) Travis (96) and Randell (84). So like I said we need to replace a strong 4 man to rebound and our 5 need to rebound way more. We need another big man. We did get rebounds from 2's and 3's. We got beat rebounding all season due to our big men not dominating and Colby being in foul trouble kept his minutes limited . We are bringing in farrington for a 4/5 but everyone else are guards.

Dwayne Mitchell, Laurie Bridge and others were incredible rebounders from the guard spot. As was Tiras Wade. While agree with you that we need another big, I think we can get way more from Chris and Travis. They are too long and athletic not to be getting more.

[playincajun]

My point was Chris and Travis had the same rebounds as Colby and three of the top 5 on the team were our 2-3 guards. We lose Tyren who lead us and pick up Farrington ok let's just hope he picks up where tyren left off. We still hAve Colby and Javan as our bigs. My point again if we are talking rebounds we need a another dominate big!

Everybody's primary goal better be to rebound the ball (ON DEFENSE) and 2-5 better rebound it on the offensive end or you will have ZERO CHANCE. JMO.
