Our recruiting class now has four members, as Rodney Lundgren joins the Lafayette basketball family.

Rodney is from a small town in New York, not far from Lake Ontario. He's done a little bit of everything in high school while still scoring 20 a game, so I can envision him filling a number of possible roles. Whatever role he plays for us, he'll have a year to apprentice under Daniel Warnock.

Gerald Pilkington turns out to be a good player, and five power conference schools figure that out, too. He doesn't have much interest in playing for us, so I won't pursue him further.

I'm seriously thinking about holding on to this last scholarship and trying my luck in the transfer period. The pickings are getting very slim now, and we have commitments from three players who are 6'8" or taller.

Daniel Warnock scores 22 points, and we hold Colgate's George Volkman, the league's leading scorer, to only 9 as we close out the regular season in fine style.

Richard Leak and Tim Hutchinson join DW in double figures, with 13 and 11 respectively. We shoot over 50% from the field and nearly as well on our 27 three-point attempts, while holding the Red Raiders under 40% and 30%. That's a common winning formula for us, and it's good to see it as we head into postseason play.

Big Sazzy Block Watch: I can't remember the last time Samuel Davis blocked only one shot. He's up to 376 for his career now. I just noticed there's another active shot rejector climbing the list: Auburn senior Paul Stevenson. Tall Paul has 422 career rejections, third all-time. However, since the Tigers are a mediocre team (11-16 overall, 6-7 in the SEC), his season might be drawing to a close very soon.
Record: 27-3 (13-1).
