Euro freshman is either Satkus (Lithuanian) or Lukic (Serbian). Dalembert is Haitian/Canadian, Rivard is gone, Kent is American and Vodanovich is a New Zealander.

We need Satkus back to keep the free throw % > 50%.

This does not make me sad at all. Only thing that sucks about it is the timing. I'd rather hold onto the 'ship for a year than give it to another project player who really shouldn't be on scholarship in D1.

Just hold tryouts at UREC. It'd be a nice publicity move at least.

Bet you could at the very least find some guys that could hit open jumpers and free throws.

Athleticism is waaaayyy overrated when you have a bunch of guys that cannot put the ball through the hoop.

The biggest on-court issue is JMU has a bunch of guys that cannot hit open shots. Play off and let'em shoot it.

Can we just put our MBB program on hiatus for a year. This is getting ridiculous... What a piece of **** team.

Some people at UREC were legitimate ballers.

Be glad they found lightining in a bottle last year, its very hard to make the tournament even when you have the best team in the league.

yep. That was a horrible decision by the admin. At the time, they should have either fired Brady, or extended him. But a lame duck season for any coach is a recruiting killer.

Yep. They did the only thing they couldn't do.

A lame duck coaching situation didn't help, but come on, that's not the only source of our issues here. It just exacerbated the issues that would have come up anyway.

Seems to be a pattern. That one really still baffles me. Of all the blunders like underbidding the playoff game and ...OK, we've been through them enough ... this one was the most egregious.

We have the laziest coaching staff simply put. The lack of paying attention to detail is comical. It's actually annoying never hearing good news from men's program.
Just depressing.

So who is it dude- I'm hopeful its Satkus- he showed something in the last game but yoyo is probably going to be the guy at the 5. I'm holding out hope that Lukic finds his confidence and stroke from 3 because the team sorely needs it.

Hey he doesn't like to be asked more than he already gives .....

so i hear today that no freshmen are leaving the program. Barkers was wrong.

i hope barkers was wrong, but he usually isnt wrong.

We are already depleted enough
1 curry 2 nation 3 hall (if hes as good as they say) 4 Vodanovich 5 dalembert

guards off bench: Kent, sterling
forwards off bench: Lukic, Satkus, charabaka

not deep at all, need another guard and a post, then I d save final spot for next year as we still wont have any seniors.

he's wrong on this. trust me. or don't. but you'll see when no one else leaves the program.

What about the failed drug test? Is that bogus too?

everything he said in this thread was bogus. everything.

He claimed the failed test in a different thread. So, is that also false?

don't know for sure about that. I suspect that is bogus as well. But i do know 100% for sure that he's wrong about another freshmen leaving the program.

God good I didn't say it was a 100% in ink, I would actually post who and why someone in admin told me a guy might be ineligible but it's in house and posting that info might effect the players status next year.

And if I'm 8/10 on info I'll take that any day than continuos speculation.

And someone did fail a drug test but seeing as it's first time and no suspension comes with it I won't post the kids name.
