Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag, Chris. I was watching for a source in Florida to break it.

Yes, Tre is headed elsewhere and Chris takes that slot.

I said this a while back and quickly deleted the post b/c it was not fair to discuss during the season...but yes, I fully expect to lose 2 players and maybe 3 after this year

If we are losing 2 or more, I imagine recruiting continues.

I'm biting my tongue with specifics, because that's not cool. But it seems like all the potential "odd men out" have already been around too long or burned their "extra" year. With maybe an exception.

Agreed...whats sad about it is the fact that he's really like a freshman/soph as far as playing time is but his age causes him to feel like a 24 year old playing intramural's (which I'm ashamed to say is me)

You realize of course that is a dead giveaway.

IMO look for drastic measures to be taken...of all the staff's I've ever seen this staff hates losing more...so if you have an ounce of doubt about "fitting into a system" or "missing home" it's prob best you leave

nope. It all depends on who you think would be the odd guy out. And we also have a number of guys who have redshirted. Also saying "potential" leaves it open to who it might make sense for. Not all of those guys would consider transferring

Big Mistake in my opinion. Save this post. If I'm wrong you can pull it out and use it against me -

Carter McMasters will have a tough time getting over 5 minutes a game. We need to ask him to transfer to Lee University or Bryan College be a star there and get our scholly back. Beg the above player to play next year and take the 10 points a game and be happy.

Sly - I agree for possibly the wrong reason. I saw him as a Rell Porter type. I know defense is important, but McKay's system really is about the ability of everyone on the court being able to score.

I'm thinking Sly was talking about kid fitting to Liberty as the school.

It looks like we found someone that can score in a "UNCA type of gym"

This kid appears to have a wide array of shots and moves. Not just one catch and shoot shot. Runners, floaters, off balance shots.

So let me see if I have this straight:

We have three commits: Vander Pol (who signed), Perez (verbal) & Soko (verbal).

We had a verbal on Tre Lee, but he decommitted. That doesn't mean he's not coming, he could still come (although it's unlikely), but he's weighing his options.

We only have two schollies available, so even if Lee doesn't come, it's likely that someone from the current roster will be cut / transfer out.

Am I up to speed on this?

By the way, it's good to see that (and I know the ratings mean nothing), we have only 80+'s coming in.

Yes, we have three commits.

Yes, we HAD a verbal from Tre Lee. I guess he COULD still come here but it would be unlikely at this point, considering what others have said on here about his decision.

Yes, we only have two schollies available. Someone currently on the team will have to transfer out or play without a scholly next season.

I think it's safe to say Lee has "moved on". If both Perez and Soko sign, it is not likely but certain that a current player will not have a scholarship next year. That does not necessarily mean they will be cut or transfer though.
