Great player under a great coach. I hope he commits.

Signing Downing would make us pretty guard heavy next year.

Walk-on candidate, perhaps? Lance Harris replacement?

I can't see coach giving a scholarship to someone who isn't a 4 or a 5 for next year now.

rr, normally I would agree with you, but we are also recruiting David Diakite. I don't know what all this other recruiting means?

I really wonder how much they are recruiting anyone now. We're already 1 over. So that means someone won't be back. Plus there are only a couple on the team now that I would even question as to whether or not they'll return. We are definitely gaurd heavy after this year, and just don't see them giving out another ship to other than a big man that you just can't not have.

Yes, we will be guard heavy assuming the remaining guards return next year. Maybe that assumption should be examined.

I'm sure coach has a master plan for all these guards he's trying to get and somehow they'll ALL get to play but the lack of focusing on big men is a little disturbing

It’s probably not because we’re not trying… it could be that quality big men are much more difficult to find. Quality guards are more plentiful. jmo

Atchison is the home of Amelia Earhart. I wonder if they are related?

[pinstripers]

She never calls me anymore......

I certainly don't think we're point guard heavy next year. Other than Hannah, aren't the other signees primarily wings? Neither Gal nor Preadom has particularly impressed me from the 1, though Mekel has been less turnover prone lately. We have Hannah for two years, but nada on the current roster after he is gone.

Murry is a combo guard, partly forced by his recent growth spurt. So he sounds like a guy with PG skills.
