Sounds like a great class......now if we can only keep them all at BG. That's been our biggest downfall - we've been able to recruit very good players to BG - it's been keeping them there that's the problem. Here's the paragraph on BG:

Bowling Green: Another really good class for Dan Dakich and crew. I love Ryan Sims (strictly in a basketball sense). The 6-1 guard out of Fort Wayne has the ability to be the best guard in the MAC by the time he's done. And yes, he can play the point. Marc Larson is a skilled, if somewhat robotic, post player. The 6-9 kid out of my old neighborhood - Portage, Michigan -- got some high-major looks early in his career, and can use either hand down low. He has the chance be an upper-echelon MAC player. Otis Polk is a 6-9, 285 monster out of Detroit Consortium. He's a space-eater who, according to my most valued Michigan source, knows he belongs in the post. Ryan Hamblet is a 6-6 athlete from Chicago via the excellent Chipola College (JC) program in Florida (he played his high school ball at Von Steuben). Dakich likes his athletic ability and the fact that he makes plays. Chris Knight is a Cincinnati product that spent last year prepping at The Patterson School (#3 ranked prep school in the country). Knight averaged 12, 10 and 4 on a school that went 37-3 and sent FOURTEEN guys to the D-1 level. Unfortunately for Falcon fans, Knight will have to sit out next year while trying to qualify academically. Fortunately, recruit Lionel Sullivan from last year's class has qualified and will battle for minutes down low. Dakich has a real solid base of talent to work with and next year could be very successful - some would say it has to be. Put Bowling Green in the Future Results Needed Now Category.

For the second year in a row, BG and WMU have had the best hauls in the MAC.

And.................keeping more of our recruits instead of losing them.

I wonder if these talented young guys will be given the chance to play or if they will be on the end of the bench watching all year. I'm very interested to see if a slightly more desperate Dakich might be more willing to give the keys to the youngsters (providing they earn it).

Well, we're gonna see 36 mpg of John Floyd whether it makes sense or not. And, damn, I cannot wait to drive all the way from Akron and back to see it all next year.
