Are you expecting any more recruits?

Posted: 5/11/2014 10:09:09 AM

Ideally, I would like to sign one more guy able to play next year. Ricardo Johnson-esque player.

I've seen crazier things happen.

...what an "the Optimist-esque" comment!

Hope you work hard over the summer and get a chance to walk-on; see if you can put on a few more pounds of muscle before the season starts.

Back in the 60's there would typically be a few guys that took basketball for PE in fall semester and were invited to a spot on the team. My brother, Dan Connors, practiced and road the bench at home games for two years with the Bobcats--the team always can use good talent to practice against if nothing else. Whether you see PT or simply make the starters work harder in practice you are providing a good value to the team!

Best wishes!

Mr. Taylor is now signed! I would be okay using the last two scholarships with Ric and a certain big man that realized testing the waters was a bad idea coming back to us humbled.

Even though it's not 100% official, we can close the 0-10% chance Mr. T.O chooses OHIO chapter on May 21st, right?

If he is humble and has a chip on his shoulder why not? I mean to quote you

I am by no means expecting it but I'd be okay with it. He is the only one not signed from the recruits that left. I don't expect Ric to win his appeal either. We are what we are going into next season. I still believe we are going to be pretty good.

I'm not expecting anymore, but I'd like to see another big man. We're a little thin on big guys.

+1. Someone who could be capable of playing the three & four maybe?

Agree, that is why I'm slotting Harley into this class - makes me feel better - a player with some size that has 4 years of eligibility.

Unless he's gained weight -- a lot of it -- "size" might not be something I'd describe him as having. Height....that's a different story. (If I recall, he was originally listed at 6'7"/165 or something like that)
