Let's talk basketball
At first I was worried about not getting an athletic big in this year's recruiting class. But after looking over the roster there isn't a need until next year. Hopefully some of these new kids are quick to pick up the defense and can make some immediate contributions.

Coming In:
Jay Barber (G) 6'4
Elijah Cuffee (G/F) 6'4
Keegan McDowell (G/F) 6'5
Brendan Newton © 7'3 (walk on, will redshirt)

Departing:
John Dawson
Ray Chen

Returning:
Zach Farquhar (G-Jr.) 5'9
Ryan Hiepler (G-Jr.) 6'0
Georgie Pacheco-Ortiz (G-So.) 6'1
Xavier Barmore (G-So.) 6'1
Lavell Cabbil (G-Jr.) 6'3
Caleb Homesley (G-Jr.) 6'4
Ryan Kemrite (G-Sr.) 6'4
A.C. Reid (G/F- Sr.) 6'5
Myo Baxter Bell (F-So.) 6'5
Brock Gardner (F-So.) 6'7
Scottie James (F-Jr.) 6'7
Ezra Talbert (F-Jr.) 6'8
Josiah Talbert (F-So.) 6'9

We can't have 17 players on the team, right? There will have to be some transfers or something and it will be interesting to see what happens.

I was not surprised that Barmore decided to transfer. I was quite surprised that J. Talbert is transferring. I thought he was supposed to be the better of the two brothers. It also hurts losing another Big like that. Surprised he left since his brother was with him.

James isn't being counted against the scholarship limit because his mom is a professor at Liberty. Anyone who has parents that works at Liberty is able to go to school for free.

Liberty has one scholarship available and the staff is currently courting a couple of transfers. So expect an incoming transfer.

I saw yalls basketball budget was ranked 104 in D1 basketball. That's pretty impressive. I'd be interested to see where y'all would be for football.

UVA connections gives us a chance but competing against top 25 schools is going to be very tough.

Liberty is also looking at Kris Martin from Oral Roberts. Averaged nearly 14ppg and shot 40% from 3. Like our chances of landing him.

We signed 7' 2" Brendan Newton yesterday and not as a walk-on. Still waiting to hear where we stand with the potential 6' 7" transfers from UVa & ORU.

I worked with a lady in Roanoke who's son is now on App States team. He played against Brenden and she told me she hopes he does well at Liberty, however he did not seem to be a good basketball player at all.

What happened with the walk on status? Wonder if he was going elsewhere if we didn't offer. Maybe since another scholly opened up he was the recipient.

He mentioned that he had been offered by Coach Layer and that Coach McKay honored the offer. I had heard rumors of gray-shirting but that doesn't appear to be the case.

She knew his family and can't see why she would be salty, but just said he appeared gangly and wasn't great at scoring or defense.

They weren't rumors, however, the situation may have changed. You may need to check your sources. 07-coffee3

Growing up a UofL fan, and in a UK state, I find myself almost daily thanking God that my Liberty teams don't represent themselves as those two historic programs do. I love the class and faith shown by the LU program. This lacks in college sports. I like winning, but not at the expense of dignity, morality, and decency.
