Scott, what are we mising here? Where did the other scholarship come from?
I can't comment on much here, but I can clear some things up.
A) Dunsmoor was not on scholarship, and neither is Lee Hall.
B) As of now, we've added four (Osborne, Addo, Unruh, Arnold).
C) Boyle can't comment until April 15.
I assure you guys -- the staff is VERY excited for next season.
If you haven't seen this yet, take a look. Connor and Emmanuel have jumped up in recruiting grades (Connor's No. 2 in the state) and at this point, both are higher than Proctor was last season. (http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/prospects?&state=CO&status=null&toggle=null&pos=null&season=2009)
Proctor was 68, FYI.

Pena yeah, I have opinions on that, surprise surprise.
He wasn't a true point at all, a scorer who was short so he handled the ball. Seemed to have decent handles but couldn't pass his way out of a wet paper bag. I never really saw him create shots or space for anyone, seemed to just make the easy or obvious pass and that's what you'd expect from a score first guy.
Beyond that I found his offense disapointing... but he did seem super athletic, it seemed like the potential was there but something didn't click. He was a JC guy and the jump to DI is big but he didn't seem much better at the end of the season. I think he'd dominate at the DII level but just wasn't creative enough with the ball or dominate enough as a scorer at this level to be an impact player.

It seems odd that the Trib has announced the signings before uncbears.com....

Of course no information on who left the program.

Really? I remember Boyle saying that Pena would be one of the main guys next year. Thats to bad if its true.
In the interest of increased local media exposure, an agreement was met last summer between myself and Tribune officials for the Tribune to report on various athletic department news items prior to their appearance on uncbears.com.
Many non-breaking stories (signings, schedule releases, etc.) this fall and winter have first appeared in the Tribune. And this figures to continue happening. With such a limited media presence in our area, this figures to give you all, fans of Northern Colorado athletics, two sources of information on Bears news, rather than one.
Look for a uncbears.com story on the 2009 men's basketball class either today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the explanation Scott. I tend to check the athletics website throughout the day, but the trib rarely.
And that's great and completely what we're hoping for. We obviously want uncbears.com to be a definite source for fans to find information, but at the same time, we want our news items to get as big of play as possible. The agreement with the Tribune was basically reached because officials there were reluctant to relinquish space in their sports section to news that was released, at times, an entire day before.
It's not an ideal situation, but it is what it is. And like I said, it's only been on rare instances.

I love how the whole fam is decked out in Bears gear.
It is interesting to compare this class to the others in the Big Sky:
