When does official practice get started for NCAA mens and when is the early signing period? Also has there been anything on West signing or not, there has been absolutely no discussion about him in a long time?

Now that Rashad is here I was thinking last night about the matchup of him and Falker from SIU. This could be fun to watch, I think Bradley will finally have someone to match up with him well. You can also throw Collins on him and with his length and athletic ability he could really bother him.

This should be the year we make a run at the top spot in the MVC.

Coleman as well. I think he's even more a "banger" than Falker and plays with an attitude.

No question these 2 guys, Coleman and Falker, will be the best inside men this year in the MVC. It's interesting that they are hardly "big men" in the classic sense, as Coleman is just 6'6", and Falker is listed at 6'7", but he is really just slightly over 6'6", too. Bradley has guards (Warren and Crouch) that are almost as tall.

I have seen Rashad Austin in person, close up and I am a little skeptical about that weight listed as 240. He didn't look as big or muscular as Falker or Coleman are. He will benefit some from the weight training at Bradley, but I don't see him playing quite the same "banger" role at Bradley that Coleman and Falker do. I suspect his game is a little more similar to Matt Salley's.

Just a little over 6 weeks until practice starts and we'll know.
