Good luck this year with your new coach. Trying to get up there to see the new digs

That hoopwise article sucked.

Top newcomer, Stephen Jones (he originally committed to Ball State you know, so he has to be good). No offense to Stephen but come on!

This comes from the website as well:

My old site was MAC-based for the most part, but HoopWise will bring news from all of the conferences renting space in the same over-populated, under-funded and often ignored neighborhood. The Horizon, CAA, MAAC, WCC, MVC and too many others to mention will get equal time here at HoopWise.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

Newcomer

I think Stephen Jones is a great player and some of his expectations of being successful is because he was a Tim Buckley recruit at Ball State. Buckley is now at Iowa and has been known for his recruiting prowess. Good for Jones to be singled out. Good luck to him and all the Panthers!!!

[Mernagh]

Jones can play, no other reason for the pick. What exactly sucked about it dude? The part where it says UNI has the best frontcourt in the conference. Damn man.

[Matboz]

I think it just wasn't as detailed as some would like ...

I question how much research he did before coming up with Jones as our top newcomer, but it's no big deal. I think most of us are more familiar with our other 4 incoming players because Jones was a late pickup and we've read a lot more about the other 4 and know how good they are. I'll say this, if Jones is the top one we really do have a fab five on our hands.

Jones is the real deal, might not be our best recruit but the boy has skills. I watched him a few times this summer at PTL and he looked sharp.

[Mernagh]

I've seen Jones more than any of your other recruits, five or six times in the summer of 05. He can ball -- in my opinion.

[UNIPNTHR]

I agree, he's fun to watch.
