Two new commitments

[BGSU33]

Potential happenings
1. Haynes is a 2010 recruit
2. Is it possible Knight does not have a schollie this year?
3. Goins or Groves did not get a schollie as was expected for them.
4. Calhoun did not qualify.

You've mentioned some interesting things here, I was wondering about some of these as well. Anyone have any further insight?

[Falconboy]

We could create a pretty solid team of guys who could not qualify academically but could play some solid basketball. Calhoun was supposed to be a stud.

How sad. Can we actually get some athletic studs that are decent in school so that said stud can actually play for us and contribute?? Good grief.

[threestooges]

Let's keep in mind that we know nothing for certain about Calhoun -- everything so far has been purely speculation or hearsay. Or both.

Good point. No point in worrying about something speculative. That's a good way to drive yourself nuts.

From my understanding, DeVon Haynes will be a freshman at BG in 2009. 7.5 blocks is incredible in the Detroit City League.

By my count, we have 14 commitments. However, I vaguely recall something about Goins being a walk-on when he first arrived. Hopefully that is it and the we didn't lose anyone.

Yes, thanks for putting all of that info in one easy to read post!

Personally I think I'm hoping that Zeke Marshall comes in better than advertised, dominates the NCAA, and bolts for the NBA after one season. I just don't want to watch us have to play that kid twice a year for 4 years...
