Thats what I think ALA but I think in will be more in the upper teens range. This is a veruy promising looking team. The huge threat I see is Booker.Hopefully Vander Pol and Carter can draw some fouls early to take him out of the mix.

Someone hasn't been paying attention.

Yes. I think they definately would have used him against SVU if they weren't planning to redshirt him.

If this was on the road, I'd think we would be lucky to stay within 30. However, with it being at home and a larger-than-usual crowd expected, I'm going to say we hang within 10-15.

Redshirting really isn't something you do, it's something you don't do. As long as Joel doesn't play, he doesn't use the year of eligibility. They could decide they need him later if Tyler or Carter get hurt, but I can't see that being a decision they would make mid-game, and they wouldn't use a year of eligibility just to give some fouls on Booker. They have a 6'9" walkon who can do that. :wink:

I hope you're right. I'd love to see us pull one out for the whole nation to see. I'm just hoping we don't allow Clemson to do to us what VMI did to us at home last year.... :cry: That one hurt.

Thanks. That makes a lot more sense to me.

Might wanna check the roster again.
Well, until a day or 2 ago we had one.

Looks like he's been replaced on the roster by Daniel Richardson, a 5'11" guard from Orlando.

Richardson is a 70 on ESPN
Evaluation
September, 2008: Richardson has good strength and quickness that allows him to use his excellent passing skills. He repeatedly delivered the ball with good zip and right into the shooting pocket. Richardson was also able to get into the lane on a regular bases and hit the mid range jumper....
:roll: nice, now it costs $$$


as for the game... i think 83-72 Clemson

we make it close at the end

It looks like the "short one" is only 5'11". When was the last time an LU player suited up who was under 6 feet tall? Paging BJ...
