Signed an LOI today.  Kind of impressive he was able to get back to D-I, considering his season was cut short by jaw surgery.  He has talent, and it seems like he's gotten his head on straighter.  Hope he does well.

Glad to see you don't let thinking stop you from your attempts to cut people down at any opportunity.  BattleCat, indeed.  I didn't think I needed to spell out it wasn't the injury itself that hurt him but the time he missed, but I'll do the Internet equivalent of speaking slowly for your benefit.

He only played 14 games last season.  Combine that with his suspension and dismissal here, that's two seasons cut short for various reasons.  That's enough to give a coach pause.  When you figure in the fierce competition for JUCOs fighting for a spot at D-I, yeah, I'd say the jaw injury was at least a slight impediment to him getting back on that level.

I didn't say anything about numbers.  And I didn't say I was shocked, I said it was "kind of impressive," which is hardly expressing shock.  If anything, it was a compliment to his talent that he was able to not only get back to Division I, but sign on with a decent program.  He overcame a setback, that's all I was pointing out.  Yeesh.

Again, hope he does well in California.  He'll certainly be well-traveled by the time he's done.

          We have that scorer/slasher that you think we desperately need and his name is Walter Offutt. Been hearing alot of good things about this kid and I'm proud he will be wearing the Green and White next season.
