What earlier announced JC player didn't qualify?

[ForeverADog]

Awesome. Hopefully he develops great here.

So this is nullified?

Pat Knight adds juco transfer, has one spot to fill

Lamar University men’s basketball has a second new player and another scholarship left to fill, coach Pat Knight said Thursday.

Stephen Coles, a 6-foot-7, 230-pound forward, will transfer from Indian Hills Community College to play at Lamar, the university announced.

Coles helped Indian Hills to a 22-10 record with 6.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game while shooting nearly 60 percent from the floor. He earned second-team all-Region II honors.

Coles joins Nikko Acosta from Gulf Coast Community College as the only two new players signed by Knight.

Gone from last season’s team are guard Tremell Adams, center Orlando Brazier and forward Darius Harris. Adams left for personal reasons and Brazier and Harris left because of poor grades, assistant coach Clif Carroll said.

They were holding a scholarship for Brazier but apparently didn't get qualified during the summer sessions.

That stinks about Brazier, especially going into his Senior season. He put in some good minutes last year. Can he become elligible after the fall session and rejoin the team for conference play? or even sit out this year (red-shirt) and rejoin next season? Or is he out of school?

[LamarTech]

I'm confused...we lost Brazier and Coles for the Swedish guy?...so we have another scholarship available? Would be nice if LU could simply tell us the 2011-1012 season roster...I mean it is August, right?

[ForeverADog]

We just lost both of those guys this week at the end of the Summer 2 session. I'm sure the final roster will be out soon. They don't play for another 2 1/2 months.

LU has never released roster or schedule until the school year begins in late August or early September.

Exactly.  It has actually been refreshing to have the coach actually announce signings and inform the public of the guys that won't be returning.  With the exception of last season, we were kept completely in the dark until September.

I'm kind of missing sitting in the Montagne Center watching a basketball game. Can't wait for the season to begin.
