Man, do we owe them. That multi sport Utah agreement may kick in for hoops next year too. Besides the home opener in football in '08, there is a home and home with them in basketball.

For whatever irrational reason, I've latched onto Fuller and really hope we land him. He's putting up ridiculous #s and appears to be a jack of all trades type that we could really use to split time with Wright next year, who is more of a pure shooter/scorer. AC, You bring up an interesting point re: the OOC schedule for next year. I'm really curious what the plan is. I wonder what games we are locked into. 3 guesses - UCLA (road), Duke (home), and ACC/Big Ten challenge (road), which might be plenty. Dylan,

AC,

You bring up an interesting point re: the OOC schedule for next year. I’m really curious what the plan is. I wonder what games we are locked into. 3 guesses – UCLA (road), Duke (home), and ACC/Big Ten challenge (road), which might be plenty.

The good news is that we're only going to lose Ron Coleman who contributes little at this point other than a warm body. Here's the way I look at next year: --- Before Dec the guard rotation is what you see today for the most part. --- After Dec LLP takes all of the playing time that Lee and Merrit have, which is a big upgrade --- Coleman's minutes get split between Douglas, Wright, and Cronin. So if they can get an Amaker-like non-conference schedule and survive until LLP is eligible they should be better even if they don't have another recruit. Any wing they sign will only help.
