Recruiting Update
We barely get to know
Earl Greene before he signs with Towson. I'm glad we didn't invest any more time or money in pursuing him.
The most promising player left on our call list is probably
Rhett King, a center from Saratoga Springs, NY. He's a 6'9" bruiser, in the mold of
Robert Castleman...who's playing like a boss for us.

I'm encouraged by the fact Rhett has us in his top three, even though we've just begun recruiting him. I decide to go all in, offering him a scholarship, inviting him to campus, and sending Coaches Sims and Manion to visit him.
In other news, we learn that walk-on
Kyle Cox will be academically ineligible for the remainder of the season. I'm not terribly surprised, because Kyle is the least talented student on our roster. His absence won't affect us much on the court; he's seen one minute of action, although he did sink two free throws.
