re: What is your prediction for your basketball team this year

Our offense was predicated on wearing teams down by playing 2 squads but now we won't have enough bodies to do that. We lost:

1st platoon
Madden (graduated)
Qualls (early draft)
Portis (early draft)
Harris (graduated)

2nd platoon:
Anton Beard (arrested for counterfeiting)
Jacorey Williams (arrested for counterfeiting and assault, kicked off team)

Backup:
Dustin Thomas (arrested for counterfeiting)

New recruit:
Ted Kapita (signed, bad grades, never made it to campus)

So we lost 7 guys (5 if beard and Thomas can get out of federal forgery charges) and one of our 2 commits never made it to campus. We brought in a last-minute juco transfer plus a great player (Jimmy Whitt) but suffice to say, we are fricked this year.
