Here's a couple of tidbits that might help some people relax while thinking about our recruiting class.
While at the Pavillion opening today I talked with one of the assistants (in keeping w Board rules I won't mention which one).
He said that we have another big man coming in for a visit.
I told him that some fans are concerned that we may not have the players for the traditional 4 and 5 spots but I thought we didn't have to necessarily go the standard route, he had the biggest grin on his face and he said "That's right. That's exactly right."
So it seems that we have at least one big prospect and the staff has something up its sleeve.
I also talked to Bud and mentioned the new recruits. He said "There's going to be a couple more announcements that will make a big difference in how things look."
So let's relax a bit and see how things look after the signing period.

As of today, notwithstanding the Leneal Harris debacle, exactly how many scholarships do we have left?

There will be a "big" visiting on Friday.
Having said that, I like our roster for next year already. Very athletic.

I didn't ask any questions as to who is visiting or the announcements. I was just happy to hear about them.

So really if he were to sign him and Skinner would be defined as 4's but would in reality be our 5 men with Paulsen and likely Gentry as 4's? The "beast on the boards and around the basket" is exactly what this team needs. Look forward to hearing a name. Hope his visit goes well.

He plays volleyball there and I've seen him a couple times in the Union. Anyone know anything about him? I'm afraid to talk to him.

Fan, He's a super nice guy. He's 7'3" and works on campus. He actually has something called Marfan's Syndrome. Here's a link to an article and picture from the J/S. www2.jsonline.com/news/metro/jun02/48874.aspMy sister also saw a show that featured him on cable several years ago. I don't think folks realize the challenges he must face as a result of Marfan's.... Afraid to talk to him? Ummmmm, why?

tall enough that he has to duck in the door way after you first enter the Klotsche going towards the locker rooms....he has gotta be 7'4"-7'5"......possibly the next project just like our big boy fernando johnson? ?
