Rayshawn Miller. He even started a game I believe. He transferred to Albany and got a scholarship.

He needs to get at least two more players on board. He said he might leave one open.

I ran out of eligibility in 68. I did play high school jayvee BB. Maybe I could walk on. But that's all I could do - walk, no running, jumping and all that other shit that players do.

Haha! I didn't play much organized basketball but a lot I the NYC playgrounds and schoolyards. I'll tell you one thing, if you didn't box out for rebounds and play defense and set picks nobody wanted you on their team.

It could be like those old football game sets. Setup ur players on the board, turn it on, and the vibration moved the players around. Anyone have one?

In all seriousness tho, do we need more guys? Theres more talent than last year, run fairly deep. Theres enough size if everyone plays tough D. Only concern would be injuries

That's hilarious! My friend Stephen had one of those games. I hated to lose at anything in those days. And for many days thereafter.

I'll give my glass half full take on this. Since he is coming in a a PWO, Frank must still be in search of at least 2 scholarship players.

Can never hurt to have competent basketball players on the end of the roster.

^Love that thought process too, 69.

Too bad. We could have had TJ, CJ and RJ on the team.

Don't think that CJ is disciplined enough to be under a Frank Martin squad, you especially saw it on the defensive end - 4 seasons, 4 teams.

Saw on Twitter that we’ve reached out to some kid named Remington Rofer out of Los Angeles who I think prepped at Scotland Campus last year a post grad. 6-7 supposed to be a good shooter, ok athlete. Looks like he’s gotten interest from a variety of schools at a variety of levels.

I don’t think you can ever have enough shooting these days so I get it.
