Does this earthquake near Sweetwater, TN have anything to do with Bobby eating a doughnut nearby?

It is a long off-season!

it has everything to do with Bobby, a few more doughnuts and he is going to be be able to go pound for pound with Big Baby Davis

Pound for Pound the best player coming back - Marquis Patton.

Anybody notice that 3 of the top GSAC guards coming back next year are from Georgia?

Fisk's Marquis Patton
Maryville's Bo Mason
Piedmont's Jake Green

I saw one of the top 75 players in the history of D3 basketball this weekend, a fellow fighting scot, and he is ready to workout with his alma mater this summer, you will see a new improved fighting scots team next year

Whats happening with one of the players who I thought would be starting for the Lady Scots, Andrea Plemons. Her name is not even listed on the school's team player website any longer. Is she history?

They will be new but it remains to be seen if they are improved?

GO BULLDOGS

Well, we will see, college bball is dominated by guard play and the strength of the MC returning players is not guard play, so we will see.

Andy Plemmons is my girl, but i don't think she will be back, i know DEE is not planning on having her return, so if she does it will be a bonus

Today's Knoxville paper reports that Matt Parton, an All-State and first-team All-PrepXtra selection from Catholic High School, will continue his basketball career at Division III Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky.

Parton, a 5-foot-11 point guard, averaged 16 points and 4.1 assists to help guide the Irish to the state tournament in their first season since moving from Division II.

He is the son of former Tennessee basketball player Ralph Parton, who is a Kentucky native.

How did the "Great Randall" lose this recruit? Doesn't he need a PG? Or was he the player to be named later in exchange for Monte Calloway coming from Kentucky to Murvul?

William,

What happened is that Transy went further in the touney then Maryville did. That is what Im betting it boiled down to.

Transy convincingly beat the team that convincingly beat MURVUL.

Funny Ralph. Ohyeah, it had to be more than just going farther in the NCAA tourney...

mattgrubb · May 17, 2006, 04:13:06 PM

actually renaissance man i have you on this one,
parton, who i have known for 4 years now and am friends with his dad Ralph, wanted to get away to go to school, he did not want to go to school 15 minutes from home, he narrowed it down to Maryville, Transy, and hanover, in the end he liked Transy b/c he had family close to lexington and his father is from KY. he is a great kid and will fit in great up there. he was very impressed with the athletic facilities at transy as well, he was sad to have to tell Randy he chose transy, but a man has to do what a man has to do, he will do great up there but probably never beat the scots
Ah decisions, decisions

wilburt · May 17, 2006, 04:46:08 PM

Mr. "100 Watts" Grubb, that answer makes more sense than ohyeah's.

Remember Mr. Grubb -> Both Fisk and Transy split with Maryville during the regular season last year.

When will the 06-07 schedule be ready?
