Seth shouldn't hurt us particularly since he'll be at least two years wherever he transfers helping him close in on graduating. I have no idea how BJ is progressing toward graduation but at his current school I'll bet he is on track.

Well geeee, I thought Seth's plan was to sit out a year, be the #1 option at Duke, win a championship, go pro early because every NBA team is knocking on his door, then choose to the Cavs because they'd no longer need to keep Lebron James around.

TTL, glad this didn't take you TOO long to prepare. You may just want to start from scratch.

I guess we'll know soon enough?

What does the grid look like now? Who is still committed?

As far as we know, everyone on that grid is still committed. Some are probably waiting on the coaching decision. Others are on board regardless.

Dom, don't even try to figure it out until a new coach is named. It's pointless.

As of last Thursday when Lang talked to his HS coach, yes. He is probably the least solid of our verbals though.

Like they said, no one is going to make a firm commit / withdrawal until they see who the coach is.

Johnny S.

He was a Layer recruit, FWIW.

LU fan for LIFE!

Not to confuse me with any of the other bailout plans that have been going on.

Brolin is interesting. I think his recruiter will be our new coach, but he pretty much abandoned his teammates before all the games had been played. I don't know how you can get him back on the team.

I think most of the guys will understand. I think two of Brolin's problems with LU were McKay and Seth. Now both of them are gone. I think if he tells the guys his heart about that situation then they would trust him again. And even if they don't, they would have to deal with him being back if Layer lets him come back.

Why did he leave in the first place? I was under the impression it was about non basketball related issues.

I think the offical reason was "personal reasons". But I think the real reason was Seth and his eternal green light.

Yes and no. I didn't mean to leave him off, but he might not be back from what I've heard.

It is really too early for us to speculate. I've heard rumors about nearly all of our players possibly not coming back.

WOW, that's awful. I always wonder what happened to the wrestling program. Thanks for the info.

That's the reason why Shuler's (LU's Coach at the time) kids (3x & 2x State Champs) wrestled at Wyoming and not at LU. And Id say that up until the WBB team made the sweet 16 a couple years ago, wrestling was still the most successful sport of anythat we had.

Top 30 NCAA D1 after 2 years at that level

No mens teams will come CLOSE to that at any point in the near future. The only way the women's side does is if WBB makes sweet 16 again.

No doubt the rumors are there, but when you think about how many of our players have already used their redshirt or transfer years, there aren't that many who really have options.
