We had three or four kids on the end of the bench that did not dress for games. Who knows who they are and anything about each of them? Are there any scorers in that group? Any point guards? They all look small for 2 or three players and O'brien is still looking for a point, I understand. Cub?

it was probably Lacey, Bay, maybe Little? What about Todd Starks from Memphis is he still on the team?

Todd Starks is still on the team, he redshirted this season. He was one that was in street clothes at the end of the bench at all of the home games this year.

Who knows anything about Todd Starks and Mike Lacey? Who has seen them practice? Tell me what they bring to the table next season. Tell me the same about the Little kid.

Here is some background on Little I picked up from a Memphis basketball message board:

Played with Ammorow Morgan at Cordova H.S. Showed D-1 potential but took some bad advice and attended a D-2 out of high school instead of going the JUCO route. Went to Southern Arkansas for a year and then transferred. Walking on at Idaho State is good for ISU. He is an agile long guy with great hands and a decent midrange game. He can put it on the floor a bit but has a tendency to drift to the wing at times but along with Morgan their junior/senior year they made it to the regions two years in a row. Not a bad pick up at all. Very interesting though that Idaho State has targetted the weakest area of Memphis Basketball to recruit. Morgan who is a very good talent and has shown that, was a logical pickup, Rolando will be a solid pickup, academically the kid from Collierville Sherrod, shined on a team that may have won 20 games in three years. I think character wise they have chosen correctly, talent wise these players are not the cream of the crop, but they should set a decent core for ISU.
