No Mayo, Lazar, Butler?
Others would be Novak, McNeal, James and Diener.
Didn't go last year at all, are they worth checking out?
With the lockout isn't butler currently unsigned? Without a contract in hand would it be safe for him to play and risk injury?

Mayo won't be on campus until probably second semester while he awaits the clearing house. Butler doesn't have a contract, and with the lockout, I'm sure the Bulls would not appreciate him playing and risk getting injured. Same with Lazar. The Twolves just picked up his option so he's going ot be getting some good bling from them, and I'm sure they want to protect their investment.

Whoa, wait a minute. Second semester? Do you mean second summer session?

Makes sense. Their presence would help lift the talent pool though.
Team Scion Dental is loaded. Matthews, Cadougan, Nankivil, and Otule. They have got to be the early favorite to win it all.

Yes, second summer session is what I meant.

I believe the second summer session starts this coming Tuesday. Is he allowed to come to campus even if he doesn't make it in time to enroll in Summer classes?
Nankivil, Keaton on team 1.
I thought those Badgers were highly discouraged from playing in this league.

I went to it every day, last season.

Is Keaton still a member of the Badgers team? No.

And don't overlook Trend Blackledge. This is the kind of event he can really shine in. That team will be a lot of fun to watch with WesMat and Caddy running the show, Otule providing beef in the middle, and Trend throwing it down.
Team RYCO also looks pretty good. TJ Bray and Jerry Smith in the backcourt with Crowder and Barro up front.

Jerry Smith was signed up last season and never showed up. I know he was in Las Vegas for the NBA summer league.

It is kind of like the NCAA tournamnet. MU played three games, but made round four. I think you mean Mayo will make the thrid summer session, as I believe the second one is starting now.
Just talked to IWB (currently on the road). He said:
1. He is still working on some surprise additions to the rosters;
2. A handful of players will miss the first weekend due to Fitz' wedding.

He should be there. The NBA canceled their Summer Leagues.

I believe he can be on campus taking classes and can participate in some limited basketball activities, but he has to pay his own way. Once he's cleared he can get reimbursed.
im sure oj can help for the time being until being reimbursed
schedule is out

Rosters continue to be updated as players come in - I need to adjust to try to keep teams even.
Team Scion Dental may be the early favorite, but Wes will be gone the first weekend and Trend will not be back from overseas yet. Jerry Smith will be playing, but he to will not return to these United States until week 2.
Guys like Jimmy, Travis, Steve, Jerel - guys trying to get an NBA contract, too big of a risk. Dominic is recovering from an injury.
Lazar - spoke to him a few days ago. He will be splitting time over the summer between LA and Milwaukee, will try to work it out so he can play but not sure about when.
Some great late adds like former DePaul stars Quemont Greer & Draelon Burns... other standouts like Avery Smith, Miles McKay are much better than they were two years ago, some of these guys have really been turning it on overseas. It will be a different year with the location change as well as the move to 10 teams - more players, more games, more action.
League looks great again!!
I didn't see DJO and Jae Crowder on the roster. Do they still needed to be added or are they not playing?
as far a crowder is concerned i thought i saw him tweet he wont be back til after the 2nd week. not sure about djo

That's odd...Crowder was originally on Team RYCO, and I'm positive DJO was on the original roster because I went through it counting MU scholarship guys and everyone save Mayo was accounted for (due to clearinghouse issues). Don't know why either would have been removed.
Has anyone told Newbill about the Pro-Am yet?

Isn't it kind of mandatory that they be on campus for these things over the summer?

Are you sure....I give the point to avid.
Point: avid.
;D
With the skills camp taking up time and wanting to spend some time at home, DJO will not be at MU for the 2nd summer session. Similar with Jae - he has always spent his summers with his dad and last summer he was taking classes at his Juco to get enough transferable credits, so he hasn't spent time with his dad in a while, so he opted to spend the 2nd session with his dad instead.
They will both be back in August.
I'll miss watching DJO and Jae this summer.
Best of luck to them this summer! I hope they have a good year this season on the floor and in the classroom.
They were both in school for the first session, just taking a month off. Personally, I wanted DJO back because he was unreal last year, and I wanted Jae to play in the Pro-Am at least once, but what can you do - these kids are school & Hoops 12 months a year, can't blame them for taking one off.
What about Gardner? Doesn't it start today? He tweeted that he is going home to VA.

Agreed, was really looking forward to seeing the leaner Ox in action tonight.
I guess they can waste $150
I'm almost positive Davante Gardner is going to be there tonight...He said so on his facebook. It sounds like he is looking for a time to come home...(creepy I know)
Whoever did the highlights last year, if you could do the same this year that would be great. I am sure many people on this board would be very happy if you did, myself included.
