137, the players whose names you couldn't remember were Josh Kramer and Joe Young. Either would have helped HC tremendously at the 4 position and given more depth in the front court.
We are struggling at the 5, no doubt, but Tim Clifford played very well against BC and Craig Smith, Williams, Oates, etc. He showed flashes of the promise that he showed as a freshman. You have to remember, Tim is only a sophomore.
The days are gone when we had Pat Whearty as a dominating center and in a pinch had to go with 6' 11" Nate Lufkin but also had Tim Szatko helping at forward.
As for next year's freshman, who really knows how some high school kid is going to do at the D-I level? I agree with your posters that we shouldn't be reading incoming players press clippings. Rather, time will tell.

Can someone point me to information on the Bison's incoming 2006-2007 recruiting class? We need a few big men to take the heat off of Griffen and Vegotsky. Also, it was nice to see Bettencourt deliver a strong performance last night. He's been in a slump.

this year's incoming class consists of the following:
Name Pos Ht Wt Hometown
Pat Behan SF 6-7 190 - Middleburg, VA
Zach Evans SF 6-6 185 - West Hills, CA
Stephen Tyree PG 6-3 185 - Houston, TX
I you look at the other schools who recruited these guys, even to some degree, you'll see we've come along way since Bryan Bailey.....(whom Feinstein pointed out was a walk-on)

Some scouting services have Behan as tall as 6'8" and for the Bison he may well be a PF, albeit one with long shooting range. Although the tallest of the three recruits he definitely is the best outside shooter of the three, although perhaps the least athletic. His Notre Dame team plays a pretty strong independent schedule in the Virginia area
Tyree, although often playing PG for Strake Jesuit, could also play the 2 and the 3 for the Bison. He leads his team in rebounding and supposedly has long arms and is very athletic. If he could improve his shot a bit, he could be a Charles Lee type of small forward. Plays against good competition in the Houston area.
Evans is supposedly a good rebounder and good defender - also a good athlete. Some question about his shooting touch at present. Plays against very strong competition in the Los Angeles area.

If you scroll down the page, you'll find a bunch of threads with info on Zach Evans and Stephen Tyree. As I've pointed out in several of those, the caliber of competition being played by the three recruits (especially Evans) is well above that played against by many recruits of the past.
