Last years Frosh were not great. Jury is out this year. This particular transfer is meh, let's see how it goes. Dort and Shelby are another story - getting them signed and in a VU uniform is definitely exciting.

Not sure about this lazy recruiting being talked about....

Lazy coaching is when a guy grins and claps his way to 20 losses in a row.

But somebody still loves that guy. Obviously.

Another Nolan Cressler result would be alright.

Or Bruce Elder...

THIS! ^^^

All were outstanding players for us. In my opinion, McCaffrey was the best player we've had in my lifetime.

I forgot Byars was a transfer. He was a machine, too.

And the chant of "Neltner's Winning" late in the first half when we were beating UK like a drum (score something like 30-18 and Ross had about 20 of our points... It was beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amigo, this narrative is getting weaker. We got Pippen back and coach has surrounded him with some basketball players. The last couple of commits are quality. He added some coaching to his staff. It's hard for me to poo-poo coach and his efforts. He's acting like a guy that had a reality check and adjusted. We'll see. I suspect it'll take a few games to get things going, but then we should be competitive.

As for "fit", I'm still curious about that also. I don't see evidence of a preferred palette of players.

I’m going to again ask if we’re sure that Mann is on scholarship?

I’m positive Mann is on scholarship. I count 13 with Pippen coming back..Adelman is not on a basketball scholly. Someone said we were 1 over the limit, but I don’t believe that is accurate.

I believe the 13 are:
Lawrence
Pippen
Wright
Stute
Thomas
QMB
Chatman
Daniels
Dorsey
Frank
Robbins
Dezonie
Mann

Walk-ons:
Adelman
Weickert
Calton
