Dixie League Baseball doesn't usually involve a ton of recruiting, especially for the radio guy.

I hope Bracey follows. Having 2 Juco all-americans would be huge.

We already have 2, which IMHO is enough. I trust Layer if he signs Bracey, but relying too much on transfers can be a slippery slope.

There was one slot to the best of my understanding. If Tavares got the offer, we should be done for 2011.

Congrats to Coach Mantlo for producing a player so highly coveted that he could benefit his alma mater.

I meant 2 Juco all-american guards. JB isn't a guard. Speaks makes up for Gordon and I would still add one more guard but seeing there is only one slot...nvm

What I am saying is that we only had one more scholarship to give based on what I am hearing unless somebody chooses to walk away.

Stay tuned on that Sly.

After the past few seasons, that goes without saying.

Tomorrow is the first day of the Spring signing period. Hopefully we will hear something soon on Tavares and maybe one more.

Sounds good. I think we're on the right path. I wasn't a huge Dale Layer fan in the beginning, but now I'm 100% convinced he's the right guy for the job.

This signing confirms that at least one more current player (besides Evan) will not be returning.

Interesting choice of words by Coach Layer...

"On the floor he can score the ball in several different ways, yet remain unselfish and team-oriented."
