It's not Bill, Jesse, or Minaya.

Doubt it's Carter.

Austin is probably the most likely.

Based on that, could it be Bill?

Yeh, thing is these kids change their minds so much. Plus it's cool to say your thinking about leaving when in all reality you looked at your options and realized its better to just stay put...so it's not that it's bad information but info that is a few weeks old so it's not current

Wow. Compassionate bunch of christian guys you are; really representing the faith.

Just kidding. I never thought you were representing the faith very well anyway.

I'll be sure to pull for Liberty injuries next season.

Just come out and say it's Austin. He's been iffy since January. He's changed his mind as many times as I've changed my underwear over the past few months.

Sorry to hear Austin is leaving. Looking forward to hearing who Coach can bring in to replace him.

It pretty much assures that JVP won't be redshirted, which I believe is what Richie had planned. I think Layer is more open to JUCO players than McKay. I don't have a problem having 1 or 2 on the team, I just don't like having the majority of the squad composed of transfers who can only play 1-2 years.

If Austin does leave, that would leave us with only 3 guys remaining from the “Magnificent Seven.” :oops:

He signed one for this year's (2008-2009) class. How can you say he refuses to touch them?

I dont believe Layer has the option to ignore any possible good JUCO recruits at this point,With Austin leaving, and the lack of any information coming out about any leads to new recruits, It seems to me Coach Layer will just be happy to get a full roster at this point, of course you want the best players available but at this point we need to fill our rosters and if there is a Good junior college player who has good size and has good post moves, Just take the chance and hope you can develop them into good players.

It's just Northern Arizona.

He was recruited there initially but chose LU. I got the feeling all along that Austin was homesick. We had a 30-minute conversation about Arizona when I wrote that story on him in February, since I used to live there.

It's a signing period. Take a deep breath ... just because there's a lack of information it doesn't mean there are a lack of recruits. Konan wasn't on anyone's radar until the day he signed.
