Spent some time on the campus on Monday, and came away with the following: 1. AD should be announced sooner rather than later. Maybe next week. 2. Watched Scotty and Randy shooting threes, with the help of a machine, which retrives the shot and passes the ball back. I only watched for a few minutes but was told that they were at it for more than an hour. Glad they both recognize the need to improve their perimeter game. 3. The non-medical report on Kyle is that he's doing well and should be 100%, long before the season starts. But like I said this didn't come from a doctor. 4. Puerto Rico tourney took a hit as the BE will not be involved. Last team will be another mid-major. Still a strong field. 5. S/w someone close to the program, though not a coach, and asked who, of the three new 6'7 guys, he liked best. He said he had seen all three and, in his opinion, Ridley was the best. Described him as a VG big guard. 6. Same guy told me Rashad James has a good shot to average double figures. He's more than just a jumping jack. 7. Whoever leaves it won't be someone that will leave a big hole on the team. 8. Diggs, whose reported weight was 205, is closer to 220.
Think of the above as off-season fodder.

Surprised the BE isn't sending a team to the tourney since they are (were) the sponsoring conference.

ichoops, per your urging, I finally picked up a phone and called OT"s next door neighbor. I was told that he is in a home, but shortly (no timeframe) should be moved to Burke for rehab. Seems to be making progress, but at 86 it takes time. I'll follow up in about a week. And if I forget, remind me.

My prayers go out to OT in hopes he can make a full recovery.
As for our new additions next year it seems as if every 6-7 Juco in the country committed to us last week.
Other than the 2 in the Iona announcement I am unsure as to what others are joining us next year, and I guess we won't get official word on this until the player(s) leaving is official, but can anyone sum up who appears to have committed for next season?

Next year it appears we have coming in: 1) Taj Ridley 6'7" forward (JuCo) 2) Digs Moikubu 6'7" forward (JuCo) 3) R. James 6'1" guard (transfer) 4) J. Anacreon 6'7" forward (JuCo, pending announcement of departing player)

Thanks for some reason I thought there was one more 6-7 juco.

Re: the Puerto Rico field - Alec Burks, So. guard from Colorado, probably the best underclassman on the participating teams, has declared for the NBA draft and will hire an agent according to espn.

Forgot to add in my original post, that this year's Spring reception won't be held at Mo's (someone mentioned that Mo's was being renovated). Wykagyl was reported to be the probable replacement.

This is correct.. there will likely be an invite sent out this week sometime. We're just dotting I's and crossing T's with Wykagyl.
