I guess it just got to the point where it couldn't get any worse. I hope we can build a good stable of underclassmen throughout the next few years. This year with EJ was fun in a lot of ways, but it is not going to win a national championship. Looking back on our past champs we had pretty well rounded teams with some depth. It looks like Crean is taking that route.....thank god. We are going to be alright next year. I guess it just got to the point where it couldn't get any worse.

Some things I donot understand about shcolarship offers:

1 Can you offer more than you have available and then its first come first serve ?

2. Are they offered by position I assume ?

So, can we offer Sutton and Harrelson and see which jumps first ?
