Anything CAN happen at this point either way with a bunch of Freshmen. I think we are rolling and playing well, but who knows. My feeling is though that they have had a taste of both work and success and will continue both. If that is the case, we will be sitting pretty come BS tourney and NCAA tourney time!

i think it's realistic to think we will win three of the next 4 and 20 games this year... but i'm not going to get too excited, i remember back in 2000 i think we started 11-0 and then lost to NC State and then got crushed in the conference. also we had a great point guard that year who transfered from WVU and was tops in the nation in steals that year, what was his name?

According to the media guide, we have never started 11-0.

We were 7-4 after 11 games in 2000.

As far as NC State, we have played them twice: We lost to them in '99, dropping us to 7-2; and we lost to them in '04, dropping us to 1-5.

Carl was the Mel Hankinson version of the "one year wonder". What made him unusual is he had already taken his redshirt year at WVU, but transferred anyway, and in his case that meant losing a year of eligibility the year he sat out as a transfer, just to play 1 year at LU. He was an amazing athlete. I really thought he would end up a cornerback in the NFL.

And he was good enough to play much more than he did at WVU. Catlett just never saw fit to play him. He was Hank's recruit all the way, kept a great relationship with him, and begged to come with, even when Hank tried to talk him out of it because he was going to have to lose that extra year, and only have 1 left. Anyone know what Carl is up to these days?

Don't know how reliable the info is, but I heard somewhere that Mel was coaching at a hs/academy in NC, and his son was out of coaching after a stint at Glenville State.

factchecker, thanks for checking those facts... it must have been 99 and i swear i remember us getting off to a great start but it might have ended at 6-0 and then we lost one before we played NC STATE. I was trying to do it off of memory.
