Anyone got a sniff on recruiting?

I'd settle for a rumor on the hoops front. I understand the next window does not open until mid-April but we have to have some clue about potentials beyond what we have seen? Anything....?

If we are dipping into the JC ranks (and I am hoping thats an aberation not a trend) at least we re fishing for help up front - although that FT percentage is a bit scary. Fits the part of a rebounder, and shot blocker on a team where scoring's coming from outside. Doesn't speak positive volumes for other possible signings.

I DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT want a JUCO transfer on this team. That's an insult to our school and gives fodder to the argument that scholarships would lead to a decline in the quality of student-athletes.

Sick as it sounds---I'd rather lose. Don't bring in mercenaries. Sad

Did the three recruits sign LOI and is the other transfer kid Jeff Robinson still in school....Are we done recruiting? Shocked

Silence on that front and rumors on Hines (meaning one more scholarship could be in the mix??) - suspect next week if history holds true.
