We’ve brought up past reports on Mack and Coley, but I thought it would be fun to look back at what we said about the other recruits and new players before the beginning of the season…
Survivor questioned whether he was a basketball recruit, and some wondered why we would pick up a one-star recruit. I would like to say, thanks for coming here and showing what a “one-star” recruit can do.
He almost had celebrity status for being spotted around campus from Gill’s posts (check page 9). If he shows his mean streak a little more, I’m up for the name (as has been floated) “Big Nasty.”
I cannot believe someone compared him to Chris Sager. I think some mild infatuation occurred because of his dashing good looks, too.

I didn’t compare him to Chris Sager on his style of play or even ability. I compared him to Sager because both were Freshman of the Year in their respective conferences and transfered out. Sager came in and didn’t reach his hype, so the post was just saying that it happened once, that it could happen again.
However, I think Gerrity is very good player and will be a major impact player in his time at Charlotte.

Wasn’t making a swipe. Just showing that he has probably met everyone’s expectations (as long as you didn’t want him to walk on water).

Figured as much, just wanted to clarify mypoint though.
The next round of recruits will be expected to walk on water, the following group of recruits will give sight to the blind.
out of the “newbies”. Love their attitude, hustle, defensive effort!
With Shamarr and Javarris coming on board next year, I think Lutz’s plan to save the last 2 scholarships is wise. We have a great bunch coming back, along with two new shooters. And IF an Eddie Basden type situation materializes, or a really good transfer, you can utilize that option.
[QUOTE=VA49er;303689]I’ll settle for shoot well and play defense.[/QUOTE]
WH pointed out on the A-10 board that once Temple started playing defense they turned their season around. Conversely, when URI stopped playing D, their season went into the crapper!
[QUOTE=survivor45;303802]I was convinced that Temple would do well … while everyone else was going on and on about Duquesne and Majerus.[/QUOTE]
Dunphy was a winner at Penn and no reason to think he wouldn’t be a Temple as well.
The Dukes have made quite a turnaround. Three wins 2 seasons ago to 10 last year to 17 and counting in 07-08. No reason to think Duquense won’t get at least 20 wins next season as long as James stays healthy.
Speaking of Saint Louis, one of the threads on Billikens.com is about whether or not the rumor of Majerus “cleaning house” after the season is true or not. He already has a pretty stellar class of 5 coming in next season to join seniors-to-be Liddell and Lisch, but the thread in question claims he’s getting “rid” of at least 4 current players. Hmmm…
