I'm sure Rex however is actively looking at kids for the 2008-09 season, where it looks like we'll have 4 spots available.

Does anyone know what the story is with Avery Holley- I know that he has every intention of playing basketball next season but it just seemed like he was a step behind out there because he was so late joining the team (he was hoping to get some playing time if FAU made the tourney because he should've been better by then from what I heard).
I can't imagine that Howard likes one of his receivers playing basketball hurt and possibly worsening the injury. what do you think they're gonna do?
2007-08 Owls
Hernadez PF
Parmer SF
Graham SG
Nwoki PG
that's going to be the starting lineup going into the preseason. I would hope one of the four other recruits could battle for a starting position:
Owens
Royster
Perkins
Hugley
these guys are all supposed to be good. I think Royster is going to help out on D.
simmons
cuka
alacorn
holley
kone
all good guys but I don't see them making an impact next year.
2007-08 Owls
Monroe C (Jr)
Parmer PF (Sr)
Simmons SF (Sr)
Graham SG (Jr)
Nwoji PG (Sr)
Bench:
Hernandez (Jr) (not elligible until January)
Alarcon (Sr) (defensive specialist off the bench… he WILL be a factor next year, he'll be a senior, don't forget that)
Kone (Sr)
Cuka (So)
Owens (Fr)
Royster (Fr)
Hughley (Fr)
Perkins (Fr)
Rodriguez-Paz (So)
the freshmen on the bench are the most talented on the team (outside of Monroe/Graham), but let's remember they are FRESHMEN… Alarcon, Simmons, Kone, and company are going to be seniors, they have played a season (or more) of D-I basketball… that's critical… it's simply not the Freshmen-4's time YET… the future is bright though

I agree, it's looking pretty good for next year!

word from Rex is he will be back…he was injured during football…basketball was when they chose to do the surgery…it should have been done earlier but Avery insisted he would get better without it…didnt happen…

Someone mentioned that Walters is done recruiting. There are no more open positions. Is that true or will he be signing one or two this spring? If he does bring more players in I hope one is a tough center.
Walters stated "we are always recruiting"…he has moved rthem into looking at Juniors now…going to the big time level…way ahead of the game…he is done for next year, b ut already looking to sign for 08-09 now…
