Does anyone know of any commitment locks for 2009? I know we need more than that...we got 3 starters leaving this year...Chris Johnson, Garrett Temple, and Marcus Thornton. Terry Martin and Quinton Thornton will also be gone.

I really wish we could get a juco forward if there are any worth getting available.

I thought they were finished with the 2009 class, but recently they have tried to get in on a few junior college players -- mainly shooting guards. Perhaps they don't think that Dotson is ready to step into Thornton's position. Dotson recently had knee surgery, but it was reportedly minor and he's supposed to be ready by summer.

I agree that we need a post player in the worst way. I would even take a Quinton Thornton type player, just to have a big body in there.

Supposedly TJ is high on Garrett Green, but he may miss next year as well with back problems. We may be hurting.

I don't expect a lot next year to be honest. We'll be thin and have to replace a lot of experience.
