Dont think this will bother us. Didn't look like he was gonna get that much of a chance to play anyways....



The NCAA's spring signing period begins today, and East Tennessee State men's basketball coach Murry Bartow has plenty to work with.

The number of scholarships available to Bartow rose to six Tuesday with the announcement that freshman Greg Surmacz will not return to the team next season. The 6-foot-8 forward from Ontario, Canada, played sparingly in his first college season, averaging 2.6 points and 2.0 rebounds in 10 games.

"Greg and I sat down and discussed his situation," Bartow said. "We both felt it would be in his best interests to follow other opportunities."

He never looked comfortable here. Although he had a couple of brief moments, unless he beefed up and improved his game, I really didn't see him getting much playing time at all. Probably will help us more than hurt.
