Subject: We're Holding Our Last Scholarship

We will be holding our last scholarship until the Fall, unless we get a strong transfer over the summer. We've been contacted by several attractive possible transfers but there have not been formal releases yet from their schools. Jermaine Anderson will back up KA at the point next season.

Also heard that Mount Vernon, NY High School PG Chris Lowe will go the prep school route next season.

What happened to the JUCOs we were looking at, did they go elsewhere or were the not good enough, (NT) -- DebataRam, Mon April 04, 2005 12:54:39
- Didn't quite make the cut. We need better. (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon April 04, 2005 13:27:05
So are you saying that JA will not start? If thats the case, they're making a big mistake. I realize he's not a true point guard, but if thats the case, whats wrong with starting stout, JA, and KA as was the case this year? He's become a very viable offensive threat and needs to be on the floor as much as possible. (NT) -- '02 Grad, Mon April 04, 2005 13:24:26
- No, that's not at all what I mean. When KA needs a blow, Jermaine will replace him at the point, whether he moves over from the 2 or comes in, depending on the situation. I did not mean to infer that Jermaine won't start. At the beginning of the season, all positions are wide open and Jermaine will get plenty of playing time. Remember, we'll have two more scholarship players on our roster next season than we did last year. We lose Mushon but get Bethel, Phillips and Devine. This gets us closer to a squad that can be utilized in the manner that DW prefers - a ten man rotation to run, press and play some Kamikaze D to wear down our opponents.

  - Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. (NT) -- '02 Grad, Mon April 04, 2005 13:38:55
While I would have liked to have signed another PG, this is a great opportunity for Kevin. You've gotta love his attitude and I think w/ a year under his belt and some hard work during the summer, he's going to help us take the next step in '05-'06. (NT) -- bfg, Mon April 04, 2005 13:44:57
- I agree with that. He is already a nice player and did an amazingly good job for a first year college player. He's very mature in his attitude and level of poise. He's already a top A-10 defender at the Point which is a nice start. He needs to improve his over all decision-making, get much more aggressive at penetrating and either attacking the hoop or dishing. And he needs to take 500-1000 shots a DAY in the off-season to improve his jumper and free throw shooting. Some weight room visits are also in order. If he does that, with his size, he can be an all A-10 player. (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon April 04, 2005 13:57:29
Do these potential transfers play the point? (NT) -- ConnRam99, Mon April 04, 2005 13:51:33
- Depends on which one if any we get serious about. It's a bit of a hodgepodge right now. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed April 06, 2005 12:32:56
Evertson -- B. Mann, Mon April 04, 2005 17:07:01
- You're right. Forgot about him. As a 6' 7" wing, he'll be a presence. (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon April 04, 2005 18:28:17
  - Another point - we'll have Dominick Osei back. (NT) -- Rambacker, Wed April 06, 2005 09:32:12
