My 1st thoughts exactly

What an obnoxious thing to say!! Kid is a project but sounds like someone who will work hard with the coaches to become a better player and not sit and cry on the bench. He’s only 19 and he is 6-10 with a 7-6 wingspan…Our coaches can turn kids into real good players, theyve done it many times before…

In 1983, the NCAA allowed 13 full scholarships per Division I men’s basketball team and 15 full scholarships per Division I women’s basketball team Answers. These limits applied to each program’s headcount scholarships, which covered the full cost of attendance, and were part of the NCAA’s framework for controlling roster sizes and scholarship availability.

At that time, the rules were the same for both men’s and women’s basketball in Division I, with no separate caps for Division II or III. The 13‑scholarship limit for men’s basketball and 15 for women’s basketball have remained largely unchanged for decades, though the NCAA has periodically adjusted them in response to financial and recruiting concerns

Can’t they come up with better fictitious names for colleges? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

And we’ve also watched project/developmental players sit on the bench when we need a substitute or get into foul trouble.

If Gillespie plays as good as his picture, I think he will be a good one.

Please expand. It seems you know some THINGS we do not know.

He is very athletic whereas others might be lacking

Arafan is the definition of athletic. I am not following you. Granted he is injured and overweight right now.

Why would he start over Diane? Please expand because it still does not make any sense. The Diane’s scouting report is off the charts. He is probably the closest “Shaq clone” that we have seen in many years.

You clearly aren’t familiar with Ehog’s sense of humor. It’s dry, but hilarious if you are ready for it.

I’m not sure what you are referring to; but the post you replied to was my replay to TucsonCoog to show that in 1983, we were only allowed to have 13 scholarship players. What I posted was a quote from an online answer to how many ships were allowed in 1983. I added nothing to the excerpt.
