Carrying on my thoughts from the WVU thread, we now have 12 guys on scholarship, and we have 3 more coming in.

Let's do the math. 12 + 3 = 15. 15-13 = 2.

I have my thoughts on the 2, but as I think about it I probably should not have brought this subject up. We lose guys every year so it's just a matter of who.

just natural to think about it - I mean its obvious 2 gotta go. I'd hate to see Cross go - hoping we can get him an NIL deal equal to what he might get paid in Europe and he'll use the Covid year but he doesn't strike me as the type of kid that would want to stay in school longer than he had to so unfortunately I think that will free one up - and just based on the first 7 games I don't see Foster hanging around.

JuiceBox, we know it ain't you. If it was, you'd get fired for spending too much time on here

Can't believe people still be doubting OFFseason on here

Great stuff from Michael Bergman. Here are Frank's thoughts on Tyler Mason:

Maybe, but we haven't found a football conference either. Are the two related? Maybe.

No idea if it's Mike Mannix, but it's probably someone like that. Connections to both UMass and the larger basketball community.

Anytime OFFSeason has commented on hoops matters on here, he's been right on. I respect whatever he posts. He knows what's going on and communicates it well

I was kidding when I said Bamford and while I thought Mannix too I figured he had better things to do than post on this board - TJ Glasnowa on the other hand??? we know for sure he has ties to Kellogg and Bergeron plus many contacts in the industry

I'm pretty sure I recall OFFSeason mentioning something he saw in practice. That would put him in close contact with the team. I don't have a guess.

I seem to recall a local sports radio show 8-9 years ago called The Offseason. Could be one of the former hosts.

Would the real OFFSeason please stand up.

Ok, can anyone name the show that phrase references?

If I remember correctly it was on WHYN 560 on Saturday mornings.
