True.

Most likely False. Leave One Open to Get a Better Player in next year's class as opposed to signing a transfer who isnt near as good that you have to keep around for 2-3 years. If you find a diamond in the rough sure... but its not likely.

With that being said, we will most likely do the opposite of the above mentioned rational decision explained by me.

I cannot confirm or deny my reasons for being here, but I cannot tell a lie. I look forward to my stay.

At least someone is giving me a warm welcome around here. I heard the people here were nice.
It's a ploy used by those on the :koolaid Band Wagon! Only :flamingdevil is truly welcoming

Most of us are nice ,other than the occasional troll, but it's pretty easy to tell the difference. And be wary of the :flamingdevil all it's cracked up to be, it is not.

You should be afraid. Very afraid!

Nope. If I was going to name myself after a Walking Dead character it wouldn't be him!

Every new guy gets asked a similar question. At least it seems like it.

considering the fact that we have had members make multiple accounts before (RIP Fumble...he was the first to do that I think), its a pretty common question to ask (except for the ones who got locked out of their previous accounts)

The ones who will no doubt make the most impact will be the transfers, James Johnson and David Andoh. Johnson will almost certainly start in the post and Andoh will probably be the first big off the bench.

As far as the Freshman class is concerned, you could make a strong argument that Ezra Talbert was the best of the group even when including Allen and Bonds. I definately would say he is more D1 ready than Allen. I think he will be the second big off the bench.
