Dan, a question / request. On your opening post , can you add a player's out (including graduates) so an idiot like me can keep of the roster slot open?

There is a scholarship thread which shows the current roster. And includes how many roster slots are open.

Didn't say he was. Just move on like most people in his position do and not stir things up like he did. I'm quite sure if Brad tweeted out a video of someone saying 'I got someone better', Chester wouldn't like that very much. There's a way to handle things without the extra nonsense.

People want to see starting caliber players, that are going to be able provide the type of offensive production as we had last season. RIGHT NOW(to be clear), we don't have a starting 5 capable of competing with the upper echelon of the conference. We have three HUGE pieces to replace(TJ, CH and MD). We haven't come close to replacing one YET.

Should there be "worry"? Not yet.

Should there be cause for concern? Sure.

The big targets are gone, BUT, there are players that will opt out of the draft, which is where I'm guessing the hope lies.

There are no longer any "rebuilding years" only "reloading years." Agree/Disagree

"We are never rebuilding, we are always reloading, anyone uses that word, I am not gonna talk to ya." Brad Underwood

Oh, I don't think it's ideal, but it's our reality for this year. I'd guess even BU wouldn't want to do it to this extreme every off-season

Correct. Especially when BU continually emphasizes that we're a "Developmental Program."

(He may just have to back off that tag line if we go back-to-back years with 77% roster turnover, or 10+ new ball players.)

Looks like a Domask clone

I tend to agree with this. I must also admit ----- I sorta thought a little bit slow and lumbering.

With that being said, I also did not foresee Domask being the All-Conference talent that he is.

You're remembering tournament dancing bear and not the dancing bear that was parked in the bench because of a lack of intensity and half hearted attempt at defense. Dain is a good guy, but don't think he bought in full time. He should fit it perfect with Penny.

Oh I would tend to agree I just liked to watch good bear when he was on.. Imagine what an OA might have done to help Dains game

Can you give some details? Even if vague

Would love to get Jones or some other explosive wing to complement White. But what we need most is some SIZE. I really love what I see in Booth, but he looks like a guy who's still growing physically. To be in condition to be an inside force, he looks to need at least a. year with Fletch.
