I wonder about the red shirt freshmen.  If the two red shirts do not return, the numbers work I believe. The fact that they were red shirted would seem to make them candidates to be "recruited over."

The numbers obviously do not work.  Probably a combination that not everyone who has committed will be eligible and some players currently on the roster will not have their scholarship renewed.

We have another committment from a junior college player.  Thoughts? [Hidden Content]

Mffl or Coach Did I remember correctly that Bob West said in his article that the starting point guard would be 6'3"? If so, surely that would not be Brown, would it?

I am not sure that Garza ever signed (I am not sure that we ever actually offered a scholarship). In one of Bob West's articles a number of weeks ago, where he was talking generally about the recruiting class, I thought he said that the probable starting point guard would be 6'3". None of these point guards are taller than 6.' Did I remember that correctly. If so, it makes you start thinking.

It is Hoffheinz, I remember the game. That is Nicky Snell. I believe that was Foster's second year, Phi Slamma Jamma's first year, I think Olajuwon was a sophomore. The game was a blow out (30+), and the reason it is impossible to remember that dunk is it was one of many. At that point, no one realized how good UH was going to be. Our team was not that bad.

Not a problem. It may just be my memory!

Clarence Kea for a couple of years for the Dallas Mavericks in their early days, Tommy Sewell for 76ers for a year or two, was a first round pick, and Adrian Caldwell for Rockets for severals years, and maybe Cleveland or some other team. Lamont Robinson and Jerry Everett were both drafted (I believe) back when the NBA draft was longer than 2 rounds.

George Butler was not a point guard, but could drive it. Unfortunately, he was good for a charge or so a game, that really used to tick Newell off. Alvin Brooks and Lamont Robinson I think were the two best, although they were very different. Robinson, his final season when he developed his outside shot, after Sewell was hurt I believe, was probably all around the best. A defensive stopper, and could finish with slams (left handed) over 7 foots stiffs.

I do not agree that Bledsoe could arguably be best ever at Lamar. He was a small forward (outside shot not good enough to be a guard-very flat), and maybe in top ten, but not top five IMO. Here is my take: 1. Pic Kea 2. T. Sewell 3. BB or James Gulley (tie) 4. Mike Oliver I would include Alan Daniels, Adrian Caldwell, and Kenneth Perkins in the nxt five, I also personally liked Brian Kellebrew and Jerry Everett as players better than Bledsoe.
