Ollie -- agreed on the recruiting misses....it was only notable here as part of the cluster of lousy news of late. <br /><br />JCE -perhaps I miscounted on scholarships for 2010, but obviously Buzz and Brett agreed he'd be better served to play elsewhere. For Buzz that means he has a chance to upgrade on what he had.TBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897641917011759574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-81465035240996412892009-09-24T15:30:46.785-05:002009-09-24T15:30:46.785-05:00Wow.

I think your comments regarding Acker are unnecessarily mean-spirited, not to mention inaccurate.<br /><br />Your statement: "Acker clearly isn't a talent upgrade but he has the added benefit of freeing up an extra scholarship for a higher ceiling player in the incoming 2010 freshman class."<br /><br />Not necessarily true. *If* Buzz would have filled Acker's spot for this year with a freshman, then yes. However, it was likely that Buzz wasn't going to fill it with a 2009 player. Therefore it had absolutely no impact on the number of 2010 scholarships.jcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241581465823476008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-69347963794065035452009-09-24T13:45:12.791-05:002009-09-24T13:45:12.791-05:00One thing I have learned is to avoid lamenting los...One thing I have learned is to avoid lamenting lost recruits or injuries until they establish themselves as players. Players often look irreplaceable in forsight, but in hindsight have ho-hum college careers.<br /><br />The only big error Buzz could make this year is not getting enough playing time for the younger players. This should be a year to determine which of the new guys can play. I don't want to see Acker playing 35 minutes at the end of February so we can improve our NIT seeding.Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103691634133960271noreply@blogger.com
