I don't know how big of a contributor Otis would have been next year. I always thought he was a pretty good defender...didn't contribute much on the offensive end, though. Anyone know where he will transfer to?

We need to get an AAU Czar in as recruiting coordinator.

Maybe if the whole team leaves we will get better....

Lets get spinning all this stuff as positive as we can...Doh obviously has a handle on this team and the players and he is the right man for the job.....

lol, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Doh will win or anything, just that Mooks ship is accounted for, and helps us long-term. I think most around here like the kid

depending on how you count about 50-60% of these great out of state players have transferred back under Doherty-but hey now we can go recruit some more. Back in the old days when at least had a competitive team full of all those second rate Texans that never seemed to happen. Huh

I'm all for bringing in the best talent if that's the case, but isn't the turnover here a little extreme? Without doing the research, isn't that at least one transfer or de-commitment every single season (including the Dubois and Fab situations)? We always talk about the poor reputation in Dallas, but isn't Doh building a nice reputation nationwide for running players off or getting into recruiting debacles?
Even if his 'ship is used on a talented player, it's yet another new guy that Doh is gonna count on (or use as an excuse) in his do or die year.

lol, are you trying to bait me? I'm not loving on Doh, nor do I care that mook is gone. He was the 5th big on this years team. Now Mylo gets 2 minutes per, maybe.

As to the other point just brought up, yes we have a ridiculous amount of turnover. It's almost impossible to visualize this squad anymore, so much coming and going.

announcing who replaces Mook & Lutz, I'd imagine.
