Hey, did you see the espn article where matt giles was talking about how we werent going to have room for our recruits. Is he just dumb or can he not count. He was like they will only lose harrelson and four will be comin in. So will poole or polson transfer. he also assumed jones goes to the nba. that means were at 8 before we get the new freshman and if we need a spot polson is actually a walk on meaning were at 11 with everyone included and polson being a walkon. thoughts?
