There has been talk of Jerome Jones joining the program now that he has used up his football eligibility. He was an excellent high school basketball player. Any chance of that really happening?

Eddie norrils... He was a solid pg at SJJ.

Guards we don't need- don't really see Campbell approving that anyway.

You bench someone when they need benching, I suppose. If the offense(s) were this week it would be silly to bench him against Central if he turns it around this week. As it was, Dear missed a decent chance at a double double and some fun and had to sit on the bench while everyone in the crowd is wondering what happened. Didn't he sit Reese for a game or so last year?

Edit: Yes, he did- sat Thomas, Holliday and Griffin against Alabama.

Coach K's benching of Dear did not have the impact that the benching of Rancifer by Beckman did for the football team v NIU. Rancifer's loss may have cost UT the conference championship. Beckman may have even gotten a better job offer if UT had won that game.

He played last year with another guy about the same size. And please, come back Zac. Wagnner states twenty last night is the career high for Juice but he just put up 29 against FGCoast.

I was wondering the same thing when I read the 20 points was Juice's career high.
