It's still a little early to know what player changes may be happening in the conference, but are there any thoughts on the long term implications of the recent changes?  We lost Jones and Howard at MC and HSU, and of course the second seat at McM has revolved again, but it seems that we have a lot of relatively new coaches. Schreiner, Sul Ross, TLU, & UTT are all  going into the year with 2nd (or 3rd) year coaches, and Davis @ LETU and Bonewitz @ CTX are going into their 4th and 5th years respectively. DeWeese is in year 9 (or 10) and his machine is now highly tuned.  Is the old guard finally falling by the wayside (i.e. McM terrible season, or is the game changing and it's time for new approaches and (relatively) youthful excitement and connections with the players.   We'll have six teams this year with less than 3 years in their current assigment.  It seems hard to believe that it won't effect the conference results this season.  These guys never put a point onthe board themselves, but they can sure have an effect on the mood of the team and the outcome of the game.  Thoughts?

McMurry will be back.

I like the new McM assistant.  I think that he will work out well.

McM went 4-8 in games settled by 6 points or less and gave UMHB one of its four losses last season.

What do all you hoops experts  think about the HSU men's head coach hire?

He got tired of the long Montana bus trips and decided for a change in scenery.

Mardochee Jean signs to play in France.

Does anyone know if any of Jean's relatives (or Mardochee himself) is a native French speaker?

That would help the transition.

Good luck!   

(Boy, am I glad he is gone!!!       )

A friend on mine sent me this link to the website of the team that signed Jean.

M Jean.

Enjoy!

Hey all - hope the summer was well.  Just wanted to post some insight over here at LETU -

Enrolled a BIG TIME D1 transfer this fall who could help us out a lot!  I'll get more details as soon as I can.  Saw this young man play in open gym....UNBELIEVEABLE!  Should be exciting for LETU and give some much needed help to D.Smith and D.Evers.

Yeah I've heard about Van Wright.  I heard he signed with Angelo State...wonder why he didn't go?

Wonder how a kid who was on scholarship at D1 UTEP and Blinn Juco is paying for school at Let? Any truth to the rumor that he is getting most of his school paid for at Let under a bogus Academic scholarship?

Just an update, word around campus is that Ozarks got a 6'11 kid from Germany.
