Here are some messages from JW's friend. He was a good guy. I had to tell everyone who he was because he might have pushed on the boards for an extension. It was fun listening to his info on coaches flying to France and Africa to get Sidibe and African guy on the roster. Wool would talk to 14588 weekly -best friends. Good guy. I am posting them because $eank -also known now as wannabe Fitz might ban me for mentioning 'other boards'. Can't post all the messages I received. I think I deleted them.

zen,
why did you mention me on the board and my connection with coach? you're spineless zen. i confided in you and now you do this. you're a very small person zen and a dishonorable one also. i made a stupid mistake to trust you.

>>zen,
>>i absolutely did not mean to jump on you about akeem. hope you didn't take it that way with my comments. some of the other knuckleheads were a little crazy. akeem will be fine, be patient with him. he does so much for the team, he's gotta be on the floor. his shooting will come around. if it doesn't by big 12 time, i can promise you jw will make some adjustments. doing so this early would hurt his confidence and we don't want that with anyone right now. i think you'll see taybron tighten it up more also with the turnovers. there's some stuff going on with clent(not bad)that may have his mind off basketball a bit right now. can't say what but you will probably be hearing about it soon. be patient with that info also until you hear. good to see jw finally getiing some props on the board.......wildcat matt is like a roach, isn't he? he only comes out when things are bad. notice he's nowhere to be found today or last night commenting on the hoops. hey, are he and matt hall the same? later

>I was thinking this about Lance. IF he doesn't start to turn it around then C.Allen taking some minutes and Yearby(starting) take his place. I don't know how long you can wait though. In a close game against a real good team another struggle might seal it. Lance can help the team by playing D and 'rebound' and attacking the basket until his shot comes back which it should.

>Thanks again.

they're bringing yearby along slowly. he's not quiet ready yet but he is extremely tough. jw says he may be the toughest individual on the team. allen needs to cut down on his turnovers. lance will get it going. this scoring drought has affected him and like i was saying, he just doesn't have the mental toughness some of the guys have to get through something like this on his own. it's kinda got to him. he will be ok. the coaches have been talking to him about the exact things you mention, rebouding, d, etc. that he can do to help the team. his offense will come around. he's to good of a shooter. later

>>>2 scholarships.

>>>I thought this team would need a SG but from the other site says SF.

>>zen,
>>cisse is comitted. don't look for him to sign early though. the williams kid from florida may sign early. they've been working hard on him. those will probably be the only anouncements and maybe only williams. jw's wife will be here for the next few days and i should get some good scoop. i'll be in touch.

>With Morais gone pro , what's the target list now ? Positions ? One big guy and a SF ?

>And do you know why Clent has been beaten out by Mario Taybron. I find it interesting JW keeps talking about Clent when Mario may be better. Is Clent really ahead of him right now?
clent will start thursday but i would not characterize it as him beating out mario. i think you will see them play equal minutes and mario will probably play more than clent. the ooc schedule will determine who comes to the forefront at point guard. jw has told me that clent is getting the nod now simply because of his reliability. by no means is he set at the starting spot. jw considers up for grabs, clent just gets the nod based on his past performance, that's all. i wouldn't read to much in this. because of my wife's illness, i have been out of the loop a bit on the recruiting but things have stabilized a bit around here and i'll catch up. they have numerous players on their list. i also think you are accurate on one big guy and a sf. take care. i will be in touch.
