dareal12 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 He was placed at RSU so that he can play 3 year at ORU instead of only two by going to Juco and if he had went to juco he would have been recruited all over again...so the coaching staff did a great job and was smart enought to place him at an naia to keep him under their arms..He in fact will sit out next year but look at this way him and holter will be sophmores together so thats kind of a good deal for ORU...

Old Titan Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 ...but all that being said, I still think we should use our two remaining scholarships (after DBH) on new guys this fall or spring, if we find at least two who are worthy, and we can still make room for a transfer like Farrington next fall. Because someone who is here now won't be here next year, either due to dissatisfaction with their playing time, or failure to maintain their grades, or one of the three who get the available scholarships won't qualify academically, or something like that - it's a fact of life in college basketball these days.

An 80-55 game after the last final of the fall semester - I don't think getting tickets will be a problem, even at UNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 A new name has popped up on the Rivals.com website as an ORU prospect: Damon Warren (El Cerrito, CA - 6'9" - Worcester (MA) Academy. Here's what they had to say about him: "...another California native at Worcester Academy is former El Cerrito High standout Damon Warren, a 6-foot-9 post, who is in the post graduate program at the school. Warren is getting settled in the school and his recruitment is starting to pick up. Schools interested in Warren include Oral Roberts, Western Kentucky, St. Bonaventure, Marquette and Fresno State." Also, senior big man and ORU prospect Monty Brown (Liberty, OK - 6'11" - 225) has transfered to The Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, CT and is now listed as a 2010 prospect. Looks like he's going for the "extra year" plan to develop his skills and build up his body before going on to college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 I can hear it now...."Let's Make a Deal"!! My bad; that's wrong - what I meant to write was "Bob Eubanks". Or was it "Wink Martindale"? Seriously: it's Monty Brown, and it's been corrected in the original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
