We need another big man (at least 1 more)... Brumbaugh!!!!

We'd all like to see Mosley out 100% healthy on the floor

otherwise i would like to see another tall player...
a 6'6 or 6'7 small forward (since our wing players are older or another bigman

Current Roster
PG   Dennis (Soph) / Howard (Fresh) / Capko(not on scholarship)
SG  Sills(Junior) / Holmes(Senior) / Prek (Junior)  (Mosley? (senior))
SF  Buckley(Junior) / Mattis(Soph)
PF  Cann(Fresh) / Stores(Fresh)
C   Jones(Senior) / Diarra(Junior)

Sills is a SG, although he could help out with the point.  I think Howard and Dennis will split time at point.

Dennis is a PG/SG combo type guard.  I think early on he's going to be our point guard until Howard gets into the mix more.
I see Sills playing shooting guard pretty much full time. He's going to be on the receiving end of assists more than dishing them.

I think we'll be running a ton of 3 guard sets so don't be suprised to see all three on the floor at once.

bull baller - while I partially agree he was good enough to play on a dominat high school team :-)

I certainly don't think we'll be successful in the BE with him at the point.

what happened to cakpo?
why did he not develop?
he had his chance at usf to show what he had.

Capko is not on scholarship at USF, nor was he on scholarship at UF.  Not enough talent to warrant a scholarship. not talented enough to play at a high enough level for C-USA much less Big East.

[Velcro]

As long as capko is on the roster... he belongs on our depth chart... he doesn't take a scholarship so we could have 10 of him and it wouldn't matter.

I'm thrilled that we finally got our PF. And to be honest, I'm glad we didn't get the others (Clark, Burke, etc.) because Bradon is a freshman and he seems to have the size/skills we need -especially at rebounding!

2 scholarships remain.

What positions do we need?

Maybe another PF? Or how about a center?

Whew... I can finally relax now!  ::bottle:

You better put down the beer.  :-/

[Velcro]

That sucks about Diarra, hope mac has something up his sleeve.

[Papa_Bull]

::triggerhappy:: I have been pretty relaxed until just now.   ::sick::

Where are we going to get a center that can play in the BE with 2 1/2 weeks before the deadline?

Coach mac needs to visit with Hashim Bailey's dad. He convinced Brandon Storms mom on the spot. Hashim wants to start College right away, rather than spend a year at prep school, so he will be in Mac's corner.

[Papa_Bull]

He SAYS he WILL qualify over the summer. I expect he will because he doesn't want to spend a year at prep school.

[Velcro]

Yes, fine.... But you can't just go out and buy some GPA points from the grocery store!

we all know that isn't exactly true... maybe we don't do that here, but some schools do

[Velcro]

Bring in Bailey, keep fingers crossed on him...
bring in Brumbaugh... then our big man situation is actually improved considerably from Diarra.

[bullballer]

we could have 10 Capko's on the roster and it wouldn't affect the schollie situation, but if we were forced to use them, whoa...bad situation.

One other point, even though Brumbaugh is 6-8 he is not a big man, ie. a PF or C.  He is more in the SF mode.  So the talk about if we land Brumbaugh then we are set with big men isn't really accurate.

[Papa_Bull]

The guy we really could have used was Theo Davis. He surprised everyone by signing with ISU yesterday.

I can't believe we didn't offer him when he had us listed among his favorites.
