Disappointing news about Blakes and McDaniels. Blakes, Biggs and Stevens were the ones I really wanted here, but so far it hasn’t panned out. I hope Blakes takes care of business and hasn’t lost his desire to come here. I look forward to seeing Lev asd Fotu play. I like the progress the players are making. Hope Josten continues to work on his discipline and self-control; think he’d see more playing time if he could.

Thanks, Brian …
The “Need” for the Associates Degree sounds like Blakes didn’t have things fall in place fast enough to pass the NCAA Clearinghouse Before enrolling @ Citrus …

Then, Technically became a Non-Qualifier … and Not Available before AA Degree (unlike Garrett Jefferson) … probably need Higher GPA under new rules for coming season…

Similar with Tyler Mc… Sounds like our coaching staff believes they “can” overcome whatever Personal Challenges are in their paths preventing them getting here ‘ready to play’ and work … some are Bigger than others …

For All of Us — We (and our self-discipline and self-perceptions) are our own biggest obstacles ….

Before any one “judge” — RE: Look at the Great Success Examples on our own team: Any of us could have worked on our quickness, shooting, ball-handling and passing, as hard as Miah or Shaq, to be D-1 Team Impact Players …

————–

Agree that one or two shut-down unstoppable scorers [DeShawn? Joston?] could have turned one or two of the more recent and maybe future losses … EX: Trevor Ruffin, almost by himself, almost knocked off current media-magnets Boeheim & Syracuse in NCAAs…

Expect Coach & Staff to find and sign one or two this and/or next year …

OR If Coach and Joston had agreed to play ball (on the same page) one or two weeks earlier … or if Hauns had already started playing “D” and hitting his shots … [several opportunities already within reach or grasp …]

Blakes’ clock hasn’t started because he is Greyshirting. I think this means that he is going to Citrus part-time and not playing for them.

Bummers, we really need a scorer like Blakes, his NCAA clock has started, this year is a red shirt, then four to play four.

Thanks for the update Brian. I can’t see Blakes sitting out two seasons. Hope he still comes here.
