Four More JCs

Bengals sign all the expected recruits: Bay, Casperi, Busma and Taylor, all four Jucos:

OB says a high school guard may be signed in the next two weeks.

6 players 6'8" or taller..... good size. ISU should already have some of the better guards in the league. It could be interesting next year and the following.

I think Cub said this earlier: 3 of 12 are not juniors next year. BSC championship in 09-10 or bust!!

Hell let's win it two years in a row and worry about 2010 two years from now!

I'd say it is fair to plan for the future and the well being of the program.

I'm not saying that O'Brien won't do a helluva job. But make no mistake about it--having a senior class of of eight folks COULD devastate the program for the 2-3 year that follow.

I'd like to see more balance and I will be that O'Brien isn't planning on picking up the pieces. He wants out of DODGE. Good for him--most people do.

When you've only got one year left on your contract, who's going to worry about three years down the road? I'd like to see more balance in the recruiting classes as well, but OB is clearly taking a gamble that these next two years will be big ones. The other side of this is that OB could decide to redshirt a player a two next year -- just about every player on the roster has a redshirt year available. But it certainly looks to me like OB is going all-in next year, and I can't say as I blame him.
