We need talent period. I'll take it at guard or wherever we can get it.
But Dino delivered us a top 5 recruiting class!!!!!
No news on the post grad front but the Juco route is closed. The academics proved to much of a hurdle to overcome
Still digging in to the Lekan situation. Have heard from a couple people involved that its only out of respect for Coach Battle that his people still listen to our pitches. Not looking good with him at all, we really need Katenda. We really need the Irish to lose soon - maybe today!
And Buzz made them look like a middle school girls team.
Speaking of which, another plus for this board: no TheReff.
Yep it's really a fair playing field when two of the five players miss most of the season.
I'd say the three who played did very well.
Wow...and I didn't even have to pay $Texas to read that post.
Thanks DeaconKing!
To try and keep this thread away from the sort of garbage that populates the other board, what is the consensus or general feeling on what Melvin either WOULD'VE provided had he been healthy, committed, and "available" all season, or alternatively, what he MIGHT provide next year? [Redacted] said in a coach's show early on in the season that he was without his starting point guard and starting power forward (paraphrased), referring to Tony and Melvin.
So, is Melvin any good? His final RSCI ranking was a respectable #93. His Scout profile indicates he had offers from Baylor, Clemson, ECU, and South Carolina (in addition to WF). I'm just wondering how much of an excuse / explanation his absence was for our horrendous rebounding this past year and, in addition, what we can expect out of him in 2011-12 assuming we can't get a late signee.
