You talking to me?

You can't see 2" past your nose. How do you know it's me?

So your'e writing a check to cover that add'l ship?

Impressive.

Don't believe that check can come from a fan or booster. Gotta believe it has to be a parent turning down scholarship $.

I hope not.

Wait.

Do you spell UDM %#*?

OK you oldsters out there.
Anyone want to rate this class yet on the all time WMU scale?

I never remember WMU getting 7 fall verbals. amazing

Unbelievable class. From Coach Hawkins comments we expect all 7 to join the program. Read that any way you want.

Could Pokley redshirt, pay his way for a year, and then come back in 2013 and 14 as a scholarship player when we have a few more to give?

it's been a long night but i think I read somewhere that one of our players has qualified for an academic scholarship.

Really sounds like a good mix coming in, if they all come in, and kudos to our staff and current players for caring about the future of the Bronco B-ball program.

Brandon Pokley might have a shot at a full academic...however, I wonder if the NCAA would get upset about the loophole to get past the number of scholarships?

Another idea is maybe someone graduates in three years and decides not to return? That would open up a scholarship. I don't think you can transfer someone to an academic scholarship unless they are injured and cannot return to basketball.

That and one of the Magnificent 7 (I bet Charles Bronson) may not predict and go prep. That's a risk, but beats a sharp stick in the eye. My other pick is knife flipping James Coburn.

Do you think in a bit of IN YO FACE to the Howards, Hawk will have a starting lineup with SEVEN FRESHMEN???? In black socks?

How will he do a line up, starting or other wise, of seven anything?

Sorry T, I used to be funny (back before my message board days), and I have a hard time letting go.

That sounds good to me.
If WMU ever plays UDM again, I think WMU should get to start 7 players against the UDM 5.
