Slight difference one actually scored points as a Blazer and one just committed.

What if it is at Alabama?

Damn you!

I'd still go...

How many went to Bama games just to see Michal Riley? We always wish a Blazer good fortune because they were Blazers, not based on where they play.

Riley was never a Blazer.

The Trussville Tribune just reported that it is uncertain whether Jarvis will transfer to another program or retire.

"It is uncertain if Calhoun, who signed with UAB in November of 2013, will transfer to another program or retire from the game all together."

Dang. Could very well be health related. I'm hoping for the best for him.

That's sad. I always wondered why in the world we didn't red shirt him last year..

Maybe, but if that's the case, wouldn't he have just stayed with the team on a medical hardship scholarship?

I hope he gives JuCo a shot, LSCC have two former wenonah dragons add Jarvis and it could be special.

He may not qualify, since it was a condition before he came here.

Does anyone know if we're looking at 5th year guys for depth on the bench? Preferably another ball handler.

From what I've seen we've been after 16 and 17 players this summer.

Yeah me too, but I've since looked at the roster now it seems we may another guard for depth as Lavender sits.

could definately use another big man, we have guards for days

Mehinti, Lee, Cokley, and Smalls what big can crack that lineup. Sullivan is also considered a big too.

Smalls isn't really a true big, Its a long season. Lee is injury prone, and if anyone gets in foul trouble then we are going to be sweating it out. I think we could use another big. We should be alright but I would feel more comfortable with one more.

What are the chances we sign a guy (guard or foward) for this year now that Calhoun has left?

Smalls is a foreign big and something different
Lee was hurt and improved when healthy
Cokley is a starter in my book
Mehinti - showed great improvement we just didn't run sets through the post.

On one hand I could see how we could use another big, but he would have to be a big body like UCLA C Tony Parker with some height.

Update from twitter.

Jarvis Calhoun is transferring to John a Logan Community College.
