[PCFan]

bball have you heard anything on naming a new asst coach for piedmont.   Also piedmont lost one of their freshman big's.  Kid moved out yesterday after one week of classes

[bballlover]

PCFan,anything that I could tell you now would be just a rumor.I think we will hear something soon.I had heard about the kid leaving.We seem to have one of those about every year.One of the reasons PC doesn't announce recruits until after a week or so after classes start.I hate it for the kid  and his family.Hope everything works out for him.

[GSAC Killer]

Killer is back for another season. Congrats to my guy Matt Grubb! He is going back to school to further his education. We all know he needs it.

Hope all the GSAC members have a wonderful season.. I know my Scots are working hard and hopefully will make a run in the NCAA Tournament.

I MISS OLD LION!!!!!

[mattgrubb]

school sux!  just hoopin is better and when they actually give you a paycheck it is even better especially when it doesn't bounce

I know the kids are on campus.  who is in and who is out?  What does LC, PC, and HC have?
Has coach haynes aged at all or does he actually look younger every year?
Does Coach Glenn get taller looking?
I too miss Old Lion.  D3 is all about a bunch of enthusiastic short people having a blast.
My professor in my MBA program (yea I said it, I am a D3 kid, i am smart) blasted me in front of the class as not being a real college basketball player b/c i "only" played D3, but then he saw me drop 30 on Jordan Howell in a men's league game, UT's starting PG from when they beat Memphis, who was ranked #1 at the time and the vols would have been ranked #1 had they not lost to Vandy.  Ball is universal, it is all about putting a leather ball through an iron hoop, but education rules the world and that's why the Grubby one loved D3.  Randy Lambert is the man.  Go Scots!!!!!

Killer, Grubby One ... you guys are too kind.  I miss our D3 days ... those where special years.  I never missed a game in 4 years.  I'd like to do it all over again if we could.

But as long as we are wishing and dreaming ... next time around we'd have a little more help inside.  Jake threw some nice ally-oop passes in high school.

[bballlover]

Well Grubby One Coach Glenn will have his hands full trying to replace his top four scorers.He will have ten new guys to sift through to find out who will be able to help right away. Doing this with a new staff will be a challenge.Oh,and I almost forgot,all this while trying to appear taller.

[Wolfpac]

Who is coaching the Lady Lions this year? Hope the coach Dzik helped out is doing well?  What a ride last year.  Hope she is OK.

[bballlover]

Coach Purdy will be back on the bench for the Lady Lions. Mother and children are doing well as far as I know.

Congratulations to Maryville's Eryk Watson, a Sporting News Pre-Season All-American. Story at: http://www.maryvillecollege.edu/athletics/sport/mens-basketball/news/details/3578/

I hope Eryk is able to have a great season unaffected by whatever pressure comes with this.

Former Panther player/asst, Dale Lomax got hitched this weekend in Richmond, VA.  If you visit the area, take a navigator. Mine was a good one.  Eat at Black Sheep down the street from VCU.  I just added another reason why a GSAC/USASAC merger would be good; Cook Out.  I ate at a Cook Out for the first time and North Carolina just moved into my top 5 states in america because of it.  Big burgers and thick shakes never hurt anybody...well not immediately, but you get it.  Every year at this time the air is filled with questions and typically it ends up as the same answers. 
Shout out to Burlington, NC, Barnesville, GA and BROOOOKLYN!
Get some Crossfit in your life!

[bballlover]

The 10/11 Piedmont roster will feature five players from out-of state.The most in a number of years.

It has become pertinent to broaden your recruiting.  With private college price tags on the rise and the willingness of people to spend money on the decrease you must look outside your state and regional boundaries in order to expand your prospective list.  You also have to really hone in on the stereotypical student-athlete at your institution, but you can't rule out anyone that wants to take a look. 
Question of the day: Will the Vols be relative under Dooley or will they have to get "the next big thing" in about 3 seasons?

Question of the week: What are the two most significant attributes/characteristics of a team captain?
