Call me old school, but do not like "Creaning". I know the rules are different now. But, I like our current roster.

This program is in (very) (very) (...) good shape.
I hope every one of these men get exactly what they feel is best for them.
Will always appreciate them...

Scholarships are now on a year to year basis....might as well get used to it.

Our current roster has 15 scholarship athletes filling 13 scholarship slots so AT LEAST two of those names are going away and most likely several more as well.

Haven't had that much fun reading the board since the "DJax might transfer" discussion while playing Yakety Sax in the background.

Has the Big Ten repealed its 4-year guarantee rule?

Ok, so we will most likely be looking for a PG to fill as it seems that Podz will be more of a two than a PG. Same with Epps and Harris. Its going to be another roller coaster spring as our roster will be a huge shakeup by the time the dust settles in august. Brad is looking for length as well as ball handling. So if we can assume that the future PG is not in the portal yet, can we assume also that Brad is looking JuCo As well?

Epps is a PG

Thanks 0440, that does explain it, and I appreciate your post.

I guess I just like seeing 4 years of a kid develop. That's the old school side of me.

With NIL $$$ now being introduce, it will certainly get worse.
I hope it doesn't turn in to the mini NBA, with players moving around for the $$ and a ring.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Epps is a PG

I am sorry, I thought he was more of a combo than a pure point. thanks for clarifying

I thought we were a Pizza Hut family.

Here’s hoping our targets prefer Papa Dels to Papa Johns

Thoughts on who will be the first domino? Clark? TSJ? Someone else?
