Sounds like he'll try to leave on his own terms and save face.

I predicted this. I'm not taking at shot at duq81, it's just that I've been saying that Ferry needs to clean house and bring in his own kids. Only two I see coming back are Jerry Jones and Abele because they're both seniors. With the three sophs-to-be, Soko, and the three kids lined up so far for next season. this leaves four scholarships open, not that all have to be filled in one swell foop.

I goofed on the number of potential open scholies and I won't cover it by editing what I posted. I flat out forgot Marvin Binney. THREE possible scholies to fill. JUCOs like Binney always seem to do better in year 2, so I think he will be a dependable bench player. Three open scholies, you COULD, for example, sign Brooks, Micah Mason, and the best available athlete because you would be set in the post (the three 6-8 guys + Abele), at the wing (Winters, Jerry Jones), and in the backcourt (Colter/Brooks and Jeremiah Johnson, plus Binney) while Mason sits. Note, I'm just throwing something out for conversation not knowing who our targets are or anything ... Mason and Brooks' names are already out there is all. But in that KIND of scenario, you could also sign a big man project to develop.

Ridenour will be in the mix.

thanks for nothing, Derrick.
 

What's the point in knocking him? He is what he is. It's Duquesne's fault for bringing him here, if he's not good enough to play at this level.

"Derrick is a great kid with a tremendous upside," Everhart said. "He's a shot blocker and rebounder with the ability to step out and shoot the 3-pointer. I'm thrilled to have him as part of our program. He's a great fit for our style of play." post gazette

Jeralta, just exactly what is the purpose of this quote of Ron Everhart? Is it to suggest that Everhart didn't know crap about recruiting, that he tried to bambozzle DU fans about the quality of recruits he was bringing in, what?? I'm not sure of your purpose and would like to know.

I believe that Dmart has potential. I don't see him realizing that potential here though. A change of scenery might be the best thing for him. Think he can help a lower level D1 program.

He already sat out a year, so it's probably D2 for him.
