[Bigdog13]

Does anyone have a roster with height, weight and class for the 2009-10 Dunkin Dawgs? The one on the official site is still from 08-09.

Thanks Skill! That was exactly what I was looking for. I really hope Colby and Redding are good enough to make a positive impact right away. I also hope that Hunsaker is under 30 years old by the time he gets here!

Still worried about PG. Have you heard any early comments on DeAndre Brown?

If Guyton plays under control and we get some decent PG play that is a very solid lineup.

[DAWG DUDE]

Have you heard any early comments on DeAndre Brown?

A teammate of his said he was a shooter.

IIRC, Hunsaker has already signed. We are just waiting for his mission to end so he can enroll.

Not real familiar with those rules. I guess Oliverson was just a straight transfer from Cornell.

From what I have heard, it sounds like Coleby will contribute immediately.

You have to believe that Brown can handle the point much better than what we had last year. I think that 1st team Juco All-American does mean something most years.

You have to sign another letter after a mission. If you work it right in all effect you are a free agent.

Below is the wording of the rule from the NCAA:

“Official Church Mission. An institution shall not contact a student-athlete who has begun service on an official church mission without obtaining permission from the institution from which the student-athlete withdrew prior to beginning his or her mission if the student-athlete signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) and attended the institution (with which he or she signed the NLI) as a full-time student.

If such a student-athlete has completed his or her official church mission and does not enroll full time in a collegiate institution within one calendar year of completion of the mission, an institution may contact the student-athlete without obtaining permission from the first institution.”
Basically if an athlete goes to school for a year and then goes on his mission, any opposing school will need consent from his original school, or wait three years (unlikely by the way).
Oh and that third year the student-athlete may not even be enrolled in their school where they chose to play, again very unlikely.

There is a fun loophole that was discovered, and is in this quote:

“An institution shall not contact a student-athlete who has begun service on an official church mission without obtaining permission from the institution from which the student-athlete withdrew prior to beginning his or her mission…”

How about the impact of Redding?

[skilldawg]

How about the impact of Redding?

Apparently, he may very well be the second best athlete on the team. (I would consider Magnum to be the most freakish athlete on campus)

However, Darius' natural position is the 2, which is our deepest spot on the team.

Jamel, Kyle, Brandon and Yonas have all logged minutes at the two. Even so, I would not be surprised to see him get several minutes a game before the season ends. Remember how Brandon progressed throughout the year last year? Hopefully, we will see something at least along those lines.

[Cactus Rob]

What about Gibson's ankle surgery? Is he over it and ready to play?

I think it was a strained knee and no surgery was required.

[HogDawg]

Olu's got to shoot more this year if we're going to be successful.

Olu has to dunk more shoot less
