Any injury updates on Wright, Lefeld and Radivojevic? I hope these guys can get back on the court and soon. Heck, between this trio of injured players and the academic shortcomings of Sullivan and Moten....this group of five would make a heck of a starting five in the MAC! Too bad we can't get them all on the floor together this year.

But with BG (men's) basketball, the saying "maybe next year" applies to many things and somehow it always seems to apply to something....the NCAA Tournament, a MAC Tournament title, players not transferring, quiting or getting kicked off the team. ?

You need to get Wright healthy to help pick up some W's. The win over Va Tech is still the MAC's biggest win so far and we need all of our teams healthy in order to add to that.

No doubt, Wright can only help us....but we'll need a healthy Lefeld (still wondering what the final word was on his foot injury) and Dusan as well. As for Moten, I suppose we won't know if he'll be able to help us until after the semester. What strikes me as somewhat a pleasant surprise about Wright is, with the solid recruiting trio of Ron Lewis, Raheem Moss and Steve Wright a few recruiting classes ago, it was Wright who looked like he would be the one out the door, first with his grades, and then rumors of transferring. But he's the one who panned out and the other two have left the program. I'm really happy Wright toughed it out and I wish him a great upcoming season.

They have status and will be returning. I'll refrain from saying when because you don't believe me anyways.

I'll believe you, Metz. You won the Danny, so you know the TRUTH.

I talked to Steven Wright at the B.G. Women's game last Friday night and he said he's feeling fine and will be playing on the 30th.
Moten is also supposed to be able to play on the 30th.
Good news for Falcon Basketball.

That is good news, thanks for the info.

Dusan should be back for Oakland, too.

Excellent!! Finally! How 'bout Lefeld , is he good to go yet or is he still nursing an ankle?

Any word on Lefeld?

And...

If Dusan and Wright are back (and Lefeld is out) any ideas on who starts?

Floyd
Wright
Smarco
Soler
Marschall

I guess it doesn't matter who starts. Wright (and Dusan) should add scoring, but they are going to need it with no low-post-defensive presence.

Not to keep yapping, but a "friend" and I are having a disagreement as to whether or not Wright played any point in 2003-2004 (or Jabari Mattox)?

he did, as i recall. jabari was not healthy most of the year, and ultimately, i think, left the team before the season was over. wright played a lot of point that year.

I'm anxious to see Dusan play too. We've all heard a lot of good things about him from DD in the preseason and I hope it all tanslates on the court for him in the regular season.

The Dakich press conference clips are out.

I guess Dusan and Matt each played 5 min in a scrimmage on Saturday. Wright just started running today (Nov. 29th).

Didn't say if some, one or all of these guys would play v. Oakland.
