Well there goes the thought of us reloading . . .Well I would say we still have three. starters back as Sir Washington was coming into his own before the injury and then the BLIZZARD was doing great things . . . not going to lie though this HURTS!

Depth wise it may sting for a little while. However I believe this forces Hayford to start Blizzard and play him waaaaay more minutes. This is good news for EWU. I think Bliz and Venky will be the TWO BEST players in the league next year. Both on the same team. Bliz will eventually be the league MVP. Maybe both junior and senior year. We're dealing with that kind of talent. Venky is just a monster and could win it next year.

I think The Blizzard was going to be starting in OG's place anyway... I hope OG finds success where ever he ends up. We are really hurting at guard... not one returning starter or back up outside of Washington.

I also wish OG the best of luck. As far as "hurting at guard" next year, I will have to disagree. Hayford said in a Jim Allen article that, "he’s excited about the future of Bear Henderson, a 6-6 redshirt freshman who also could see action at shooting guard." If you haven't seen Bear shoot/play yet, WATCH OUT! Kid can ball and I think he could be a Big Sky first team type of player for many years to come at EWU. Hayford calls freshman Cody Benzel an "elite shooter." Also, I believe incoming freshman PG Michael Wearne is going to be ridiculous. I've heard Hayford say that he might be one of the top 2 point guards coming out of Australia. Sounds like he had some other D1 offers. Also, don't forget the senior transfer from St. Louis, Austin McBroom. Seen some highlights and it looks like this kid can put some points on the board in a hurry. He also brings 3 years of veteran leadership immediately along with some much needed athleticism and the ability to really push the ball. A 43% average from 3-point land ain't too bad either. Excited to see what Will Ferris brings to the table as well. Seems like a born leader and winner. Hayford said he wants to go 10 to 11 deep next year. We will be younger, but it will be a very talented "younger." Definitely enough to win the league again.
Excited for next season already!

Playing time. Blinznuk would have probably taken a lot of his minutes had OG stuck around for next season.

EWU Ranger,
I could be wrong, but I noticed at each game, seems like Coach was always in OG, Drew, and others faces.
I am now concerned how many Ladies are leaving the Basketball Team, possible another 4 might be leaving. Hope to hell the AD and whom ever is in charge do some inquiring. To many great and smart Athletes are leaving. At present there are 3 ladies playing for the same team in Hawaii, one more will be joining. One of them didn't get much time playing here, she was the outstanding, etc. Player there in Hawaii. Have a great weekend. Vic Wallace
