Dakich Recruiting

The LA Times mentions in a story on General Knight that Coach Dakich was in Boston recruiting. AZZ.com posters have mentioned that he has two scholarships to give and is looking JC. With the 5/8 rule repealed, we could be in for six new faces in orange and brown next season. The freshmen look good, and let's hope we can get two guys who can put the ball in the hoop a lot. Combined with Wright, Floyd-Robinson, and Vandermeer, and the freshmen with Austin, we may be able to bounce back.

The second scholarship is a bit of a mystery. We knew we had one left to give, but the assumption is that the second scholarship is Germaine Fitch's. Coach has clearly indicated he was heartbroken by this (Germaine was arrested for possession of marijuana, which happened while we were out of the country). Germaine was one of his real favorites, and I think he was really disappointed. He indicated on the radio Monday that the incident might have effected the team near the end of the year, which wouldn't surprise me. Fitch was a team leader.
