I think the main question for a guy like Casimir at this level is can he defend? Teams will try to post him up. If he can help turn teams over, create deflections, steals that will be important.

To be clear, I wasn't referring to anything specific re the roster not being final. It was more of a "you never know" type of thing. Also, don't forget, with a ship to give, they can still give a ship to someone that would not be eligible until NEXT year.

I just want to know what the deal is with Frink. I can not believe that somebody has not scooped him up.

Not much to add to Guy's comments. Bebis can shoot--loves the automatic feed machine where he can take "1000 shots a day." We're going to love Casimir! Arena will be built entirely through philanthropy. Get ready guy$$$$$. I don't expect we'll see shovels in the ground until winter 2015 at the very earliest. No specific timeline has yet been established. We'll probably know more in December. Lots of concern about likely changes to NCAA structure. Our APR should be great. Mike Glover came back this summer and graduated. That should be an important message to current & future players. Anyone here who is interested in active involvement in the Goal Club leadership should PM Guy or me. Forgot to mention--2 scoreboards are huge--actually flat screen TVs--will carry stats CJB!

Casimir was a good get by TC and his staff. Yes he may not be the tallest but he heart and is very quick. Casimir can shoot and he averaged a little over 25 points at Trinity Catholic and shot 92% from the free throw line. He has improved on the defensive side of the ball and his basketball IQ also improved. I am looking forward to watching him and the rest of the Gaels make noise as well as win a game or two in the NCAA's. Let's Go Gaels

Roster is up at icgaels.[/quote Does Bessick count towards allowed 13 this year even though he won't play, and is it still possible that he will be allowed...? Even with Muhammad playing that would with the Bessick situation unsolved still leave one or two openings... I have given up and will wait and count at the first game hopeful that I will see a tall stranger...

Bessick will count as a current scholarship but has to sit out this year. There is one scholarship open with the addition of Bessick and Ibn. It looks like we'll have 11 active players this year.
