7 pts and 7 rebs in 25 min per game is good, but come on, its Bethune Cookman. Shouldn't he be dominating that league if he is any good?

Chad Dollar, from GT, will be filling Golden's vacancy. I like this hire. Dollar seems to have a solid resume.

Desean Murray committed. Not eligible next season so hopefully one of the other 2 bigs visiting this weekend follow suit.

ETA: Merrill Holden from La Tech and Laron Smith from Bethune Cookman were the other 2 visiting. If I had my choice i would take Holden

US Virgin Islands National Team Highlights

HS Senior Year Mixtape 2012

He has another top shot blocker video from last year but the video and editing quality is so terrible I can barely bring myself to link it. Here it is for those that can bear it.

2015-16 Highlight Reel

He seems like a nice pickup in a position that we could use some experience.

I'd imagine 2-Dunans 3-Mustapha 4- Purifoy


Mustapha is built on a powerful frame according to scouting reports. He would be a better SF than the pencil that is Dunans

It'll be weird going from a team that shoots a million 3's to a team that plays off the dribble in the span of 1 year

How big is Purifoy now? I was a little surprised at those 3 because I didn't see Purifoy as a 4. I figured Spencer or the grad transfer would have that spot.

If anything, we're going to be freakish athletic this year.

PG- Johnson/Harper/Williams
SG- Heron/Dunans/Brown
SF- Purifoy/Lang
PF- Spencer/McLemore
C- Smith/Reed

Something like that.. and the year after..

PG-Mitchell/Harper/Williams
SG-Heron/Brown
SF-Purifoy/Lang
PF-Murray/Spencer/McLemore
C- Reed/Wiley

..with one more scholly left, if I'm not mistaken and not forgetting someone.

We will be rotating players a heck of a lot once we can fully implemented the full court press. It is doubtful any of our big guys play >30 minutes unless they are super star status

Pearl is getting us there. It's taking some time, but it's going to be fun going forward.

Apparently Dollar signed a contract with Illinois State 9 days before we hired him. It has some writer for Illinois extremely salty.

That guy is completely ignorant to how big time college athletics work.

I wonder if he signed a contract with whatever shitty paper he writes for and then got called by ESPN to write for them if he would say "nah no thanks I'm fine writing for a lesser paper for less money and recognition"

He lives in a world where wagons exist, as noted in his article about how they hitch.
