Re: General Recruiting Discussion/Comments
TP, I understand that you think we're in good shape. We are, except we have NO frontcourt depth. What happens if Hassan goes down for an extended period? Play 5 guards? The core 4 plus Iverson? Great. Who backs them up? We could use another PG too. There are some talented big men in the A10. We need...

Were there any other members of the team present at the workout, after the Coaches for Cancer event? Did Berry work against Hassan? Or just Ba?

Re: '15 JUCO PF - Andre Berry
If Dan thinks this guy can help us, then he's worth a shot.
He does have some good post moves. The level of competition he plays against in that video though, isn't A10 level, for sure.
3 years eligibility?

We still should be able to land a decent big man for next season, even if it's a 5th year, transfer or juco.

To get a quality big to commit here, they have to be convinced that they will have a big role in our offense. That's not an easy sell, not with the history here under Dan.

More than one visiting at the same time is very unusual, to say the least.

Not just for next season, but for 2016.
Failure to land any, will make it obvious that Dan has to make some staff changes, imo.
