I was under the impression that recruiting would pick up in July. Now that July is about to become a thing of the past I have heard very little about possible additions to our basketball team. We have 3 or 4 new football recruits and 3 volleyball recruits but really nothing in basketball. We have the potential to be a very good team but I believe we lack back ups of quality especially athletic rebounders. It seems to be getting late to find anybody to back up our big men. Others have said Roby and Copeland have tendencies to foul and that Heiman should redshirt. Who is going to replace them when they get into foul trouble or, God forbid, get hurt which happens to almost every team in D1. Getting another athletic body would help to solve these issues. I, as all of you, want us to have a great basketball team. I just turned 80 and have really not seen such a team. I think finally we have the makings of a very good team if we could only find someone to help Roby, Copeland and Palmer to get a little rest so they do not get worn out in the tough big 10 schedule and go down with injuries.
