Nice! Really hoping he has a better than anticipated recovery from the Achilles tear and gives us a solid starting PG this year. Even if he isn't sufficiently recovered to be a big contributor, it will be great to see him back on the court in whatever capacity. Great kid, very happy for him.

Does anyone know where Tracy stands health wise? Is he able to participate in summer drills and scrimmages? I guess the same question can be asked about Thorne and Black.

The strength coach was on Sports Talk last night on WDWS. You can probably find the podcast. Very interesting! Not ready yet, but doing some activities on the court.

Great News!

Now all we have to do is fill the scholarship that Nunn had. That is the only scholarship that is open for this upcoming season.

Yeah, it's been like ages since Tracey suited up last. I was at that NIT game in Clemson on 3/23/2014 when he barely missed the last jump shot of the game and we lost 50-49 on a Sunday morning to a packed Tiger crowd. Hope he stays healthy all season this time and does well. He's definitely a needed commodity.

This. I was beginning to think that the reason the sixth year applications were taking so long was that they wanted to apply for Social Security at the same time. :D

If they can fill Nunn's ship with a 5th yr IL we will have 2 6th yr, 1 5th yr, and 3 sr... dang that's old. Then an open Jr class cause black and finke will only be rs sophomores.

WOOH! So excited to see TA on the court again! Even if he's not as good as he was in 2013 (which wasn't eye-catching but would still help immensely), he'll add MUCH needed discipline, leadership and work ethic.
