The feeling is mutual. I'm just glad Liberty is not in tornado alley, I would hate to see half the campus blow away.

Drop G-W down a few notches....got it from reliable sources that 5 players are transferring out, one of which is a starter who was on the all-freshman team while we were in the A-Sun, but I won't name names directly.....apparently Scruggs has the program out of control over there, which is nothing new.

That would sound a lot like a Nate Blank to me ...

I honestly do feel sorry for you, but then again that kinda helps our chances of beating you.

I would rather that happen to any other school in the B.S. Besides LU of course.

LU fan for LIFE!

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

Well said.

Here is the official word on Blank.....nice of him to take the high road and not blackball G-W or Scruggs, although I wouldn't have blamed him one bit at all had he taken the opportunity to do so.

I hope Nate has a good two years at Indy.

I can't believe Blank is going DII. That's crazy!

Why? It means he can play right away.

Is this mercy-killing or cross-pollenation?
Only the strawberry knows.

Plus it's close to home, his brother played there, and he has a good relationship with the coach. He's a good enough player that he should make a significant impact on a D2 program that is losing a lot to graduation.

Here's a link to an article about our signees. 4 of the 6 recruits are JUCO material. More proof of a desperate and out-of-control program. I don't like that recipe at all.

You are getting a good player in Keith Manley. He went to the High School I graduated from. Think Brolin Floyd, just a little smaller and a little less athletic. And this guy can shoot better from outside than Brolin could. Here is a picture of him T-bagging a guy from Page, our very hated rival. It's an intense rivalry too. At football games they would have to put up a fence to keep fans on the home and away side so they wouldn't fight each other.

I hope he can play and doesn't fall into the revolving door that Scruggs has turned the program into the past few years. If he is comparable to Floyd, then I'll be happy.

I don't think he's as explosive as Floyd, but I think he's better from 3. So he may be a good player for you guys.
