agree re Skornik. if he can generally avoid foul problems this year, he can contribute a good bit to the team. i hope he and McNaughton can effectively share time at center and expect there will still be days when Skornik picks up 5 fouls in less than 20 minutes of playing time.

as for Bettencourt, an alternative view is that he made a great choice in Bucknell. a chance to be a key player from the outset, learn and improve on the court. depends what sort of challenges and role an individual wants to play. if your point is simply that some higher programs should have shown more interest, i can agree with that, but won't concede that he would necessatrily have been better off in a higher level league.

That was my point....he would have probably ridden the pine much longer at another school and I'm glad we have him. It is curious to me though how a First team greater Boston Metro player and Boston Herald player of the year comes to Bucknell. He's not tiny at 6'2", can dunk which only demonstrates he's athletic, unlike me, can play the 1 or the 2.....

Bucknell will have it's bad nights but this is a dangerous team.

I have been giving thought to the Flannery situation as others I know have suggested they are disappointed with the job he has done since coming to BU. I think in retrospect what the playing time for all of these young guys represents is just how bare the cupboard was without the benefits of the new facility and merit aid. As he continues to recruit, I think we willsee the skill that brought him a DIII national title.
