I believe we will at least hear some moderately good news soon...we need some

this is good news - we have a verbal from a solid juco shooting guard...

[ihatetea]

This seems to fill one of our needs: shooting.

juco big man who would help us immediately just became available and if we've been hitting the Texas jucos - perhaps we can get a head start on him...

Makes me a bit leery when a guy is released from his scholarship this late in the game, especially since he was previously dismissed from Cincinnati (which I didn't think was possible).

Interesting to note that 2 Peoria kids, Aldonis Foote and Kevin Jordan, were on this team.

[tornado]

you have a point but maybe one or two bad boys can make us tougher....
..and if we land a "Dontavious" then we have to go for "Octavius"

[AZ BU Fan]

Would be great if BU could sign a player named "Reboundavious"

Would be great if BU could sign a player named "Reboundavious"

Maybe another named "Clutchkowski", "Treymaker", or "Notpronetaturnova".

Does Pres. Glasser have a kid named "Cleanupda Glasser"

another big man transfer just hit the open market...

Octavious Ellis who was previously dismissed from Cincy after the on-court brawl with Xavier players, then a 3am drunken bar brawl & arrest...
has come full circle....
after juco he committed to Arizona then cut loose and now re-commits back to Cincinnati!

The Cincy coach says other than those two brawls .. Ellis .. "was never a problem" -

[tornado]

looks like taking Ellis back has cost Cincy one of their best young players - who appears to no longer want to stay with Cincy if Ellis is on the team

The loss of Jermaine Lawrence is big for Cincinnati. He was a 5-star recruit, and Cincinnati doesn't get many of those.
