I just don't want to get Madsen or Wolly. I think Madsen would do good at some small school and I don't like a skinny seven footer who likes the 3 Ball when we have Evans and Banks to shoot that. I'm thinking that a JC big man is looking like the right choice for our last scolly.

BTW: I was looking on some other UC website and they were talking about getting Rod Flowers back. Can this actually happen?

I'm thinking I don't care who plays where and when. We're deep.

This wasn't really a prediction, but more of a ideal situation to me. I
seriously doubt we'll have 5 starters in double digits, but wouldn't that be

nice?

I could also see Banks starting at some point by the way people have talked
about him. I caught some of Lance Maclister's show yesterday. They didn't
get a chance to talk about the players and upcoming season much, but at the
end, Meacham seemed extremely high on Banks. He also said something like
Banks can get down and guard people too.
