San Diego has solid high school basketball, so for him to be selected the best junior in the region is a very good sign. And, yes, it looks like Twombly's stock rose the second half of his junior season.

I will take the bright side of things: the coaches are taking time signing the new recruits for 2014 because they are being very selective and perhaps some coveted players on their target list are considering their options! Or the coaching staff is combing JC ranks for a player or two who can contribute immediately?
Otherwise, I would have expected some news on our final two recruits by now.
PS Am I correct that we have two scholarships available to fill for 2014 - Ireland, Osborne and Dickinson and only one signed player - at present?

We also lost Nino Jackson.
Have we officially added anyone? Or do we have four openings with nine on scholarship: Payne, Blackwell, Stover, Siame, Okonji, Flint, Egbeyemi, Levin, and Mornar
Is Wyatt official? Still, I think we have three more openings.
Please let me know if I am mistaken.

thx - I forgot Nino so my math agrees with yours - assuming Wyatt is still signed, we have three openings. fryer4three - can you elucidate on your "thinking" or is it insider info? If fryer is correct, there are two players either not returning or one not returning and Wyatt is also released. But I don't have any info on either. fryer - can you help out here?
In either case, we have some options with 3 to 5 slots to fill and that can dramatically change the talent on the squad.

Not sure how many of them are new additions but looking at the espn page the 2015 recruits we are considering/offered look great. I'd still love to see us going after some true post players but I'll give the staff some time.

All of the recruits on 2015 Espn page are from the previous staff. Onkongwu a post and Twombly are new staff recruits.

Ah Okafor - one of the break-thru LMU-recruit bigs that got away! We first got commitment from Siame that same year and some thought that was why Okafor bolted but it was probably academics.

Twombly is 2015 recruit and would be a great get at this time.
Re 2014 recruits, we have 3 commits plus Herman; by my math, we have 7 openings so we have 3 more 2014 players to sign (plus Herman).
I hope for some news in the near future on the remaining 2014 players. In the event that signings are not imminemt, does the signing period formally end any time soon and can we continue recruiting 2014 players right thru the summer?

I am trying to not overreact to the departures or get overly excited for the arrivals.
After being an LMU fan since the days of the Lions roaming Alumni Gym (when Dunlap was a player), I have had a lot of heartbreak.
To put everything in perspective, I just glanced back at what this board was posting about a year ago...Levin and Payne were not in the picture for most people. Meanwhile, most were giddy about Nino Jackson and Ben Dickinson.
'nuff said.
