Agree Paul!! This arena thing handing over is excruciating. The whole thing is sort of a dream come true for yours truly who has been following this program since Baker days and have advocated for many years that the arena combined with our signage and overall upgrade in support for program from the administration can be really a great mid major thing!!! Ironically, right after we get Bartholomay and Reynolds (ooops showing my age) I mean New York not Chicago carpetbaggers (hopefully I am wrong) swooping in and hopefully not us out with a big broom....I should say wrecking ball.

I have no idea why yuhayden would say what he did but it really ticks me off. It means the roster next year will have zillions of players. The door to the arena opens and 17-20 players scramble out one by one.

I'm really torn on this one, guys. Do we need a 19-man roster? Rob doesn't always do well when he has too many options, but a 19-man roster isn't always a 19-man roster. Injuries and departures can change things dramatically.

I wasn't familiar with that metaphor so forgive my reaction. Still not thrilled with the verbiage.
That aside, I don't see the size of the roster being an issue at all.

UWM has had rosters like this before. The 2010/2011 roster was enormous. Considering the amount of players who will redshirt, or walk-ons and freshmen who won't get much time, it seems fine. Quite frankly with the size of the roster and how physically undeveloped McCloud is at this point - not much muscle on him - I say sit him out, teach him, and put him on the Akeem Springs Workout Program.

This is UWM, not North Carolina. Do we have the luxury of sitting out a 3-star, top-10 prospect from the state of Illinois?

You can't sit JayQuan out. He's sitting this year out. You only get one redshirt year.
And the reports from practice suggest there's no way we would want JayQuan to sit out.

Fingers crossed for JayQuan's immediate eligibility.

So it's 10 games into the season.
Did UWM win the appeal or lose the appeal?
I guess it's all a matter of perspective.
If he played at North Carolina or some Midwestern school that recruits a lot of foreign-born players, he would have been eligible on Nov. 13.
Anyway, really glad to have him!

Is there any chance Lavall is looking to bring him back or has that ship sailed?
