Assuming no one else leaves and no one wants out of their PLOI, how many schollies does he have to work with? Does he sign just Pollard (if possible)? Does he sign additional people to go with him? What do you guys think?
We then have 5 guys signed. If Gray doesn't leave us, we would still have two spots left. Obviously, we'd love to use one of those on Pollard. If you can find a big to use the other on, that's even better.
we get Pollard then the lineup for next year mostly is:
C- W Lewis, G Ware
PF- D Pollard, K Zeidaks, R Johnson
SF- R Hood, S Smith
SG- J Steele, C Sword, F Thomas
PG- J Gray, P Hardwick
If that is it then if we could get a quality postman then we could sure use him. </p>
I'm pretty sure that's where he's from. He's listed on Scout with us as an interested school, but he only has an offer from NC State. I've seen him on there and wondered if he might be an option for us.
...and anticipating no desertions and all current players signed coming on board this is how it would shake out without Pollard. Pollard may yet sign with us after the staff is settled and meeting Coach Ray, but for now, he can't be included.

Based on a best possible scenario we are still going to be fighting uphill with such a young squad. A Senior is usually the Captain. There is one Senior, Wendell Lewis who, even under the best of circumstances, has been unassertive. Arnett Moultrie has said he was putting his name into the draft without hiring an agent. Anyone know if he has really done that? Would he come back, if he hasn't?
I think it's Fred Thomas...
Moultrie is gone, give that one up. Pollard is very iffy to sign. We could very easily lose Gray and Sword to a team that play$ the game.
We will be very young and this should help Coach Ray b/c there will not be the pressure to make the NCAA in the next two years.
We may not have a full class, so he can use those scholarships for next year's class, since we only have one Senior on the roster for next year.
