What happened to Xavier McDaniel? Seems like a major loss. Lew Stallworth, too?

I knew about Stallworth. He transferred a long time ago, but McDaniel is the one that's somewhat surprising. I noticed he was getting less and less time towards the end of the season then in the last game he didn't even play at all. I know he wasn't injured either. So it was probably a coaches decision to let him go.

What's your take on the new guys? Any freshmen who'll be as good as Bowie and Levi?

I like this freshman class a lot. Jamal Gaines is our highest ceiling freshman. What worries me with him is that Hills offense heavily caters to guards and not so much to bigs. The good news is he's more of a stretch 4 and looks to have good footwork. Which fits really well in Hills offense. Hopefully they don't put him at the 5 because he's super skinny and will probably get pushed around very easily until he gains more muscle.
The guy I think will surprise everyone is Dibiamaka. He's a Nick dixon 2.0 but with more athleticism.
