Half the team has been released already.

I'll take letters until it is officially announced. I heard he was going to ask to be released. It's Okay with me because AA coach said we are only as good as our slashing SG.

Where are you getting your info?

It will be a shame to lose Orlando if this is infact true.

Go Lions

Well, if someone asked to be released.....someone like Orlando....I would have to say that was relatively silly unless it is for health or personal reason.

My attitude on the roster is if they don't fit or if they quit, let them go. If they don't want to work hard, if they are dissappointed in Rodney leaving, let them go. I cannot understand how any player on the Lions do not recognize that LMU and the administration is MAKING GAINT STRIDES to improve the basketball program. I finally see they are COMMITTED to WINNING.

Those asking for releases are like coaches who willingly resign. *cough* *wink* *cough*

Good luck to those players moving on in their college hoops careers.

From what I am hearing is that the New Staff loves OJ's game and was said to have even improved more since seasons end. "If we have 5 guys on the floor playing like Orlando, is now, we will be at the Top of the WCC next year." So to say Orlando can't be the man for LMU is why it just goes to show how fickle we fans have become. The hard part to believe is that he is willing to sit out a year. I just looked at our wins for the season and all, but one, he showed what it took to win. Besides he was our leading rebounder. What did he do now AACoach, ball hog on the boards too.

lmuhistorian or whoever don't miss quote me or my words and I think you are way out of line. As I said this is where I think the team is going. Don't slam a kid until one you know for sure he asked for a release and why. I don't think "O" would have left, if he is leaving unless there was a good reason too. I don't think the team is a SG that is a slasher, it takes a TEAM to win not one. Also the word is they are looking at the SG from Seton Hall and two more players. The staff is looking for schollies and its a business. Although I may not agree it is what it is. Please don't miss quote me because I think I;m clear. I wish all the players the best and if they leave for whatever reasons lets help find them a new home. Also I don't think a coach would allow a player to go if he felt it was his type of player so I would assume if a player asked to be released and the Coach says OK then the Coach is making the decision to let him go. I said before all changes are not good changes so brace yourself for what may or may not be coming. Also don't in any post say that I'm responsible for any player leaving or being forced out I'm not a booster or ALUM, I don't give money to the program, I'm just stating my opinion.

As for the quote in another post about Deadwiler, the kid played hurt the first year and yes whoever said he should have RS is correct but that's the past. As for being the most improved player how could anyone come to that he didn't play at even 70 percent the first year so what would one compare his play to.

I wish all the players could stay for a year and allow Banyo to improve them thus try to win with them but it appears they are going to get there type of players and NO one is safe not even Deadwiler. Thats the business, is it fair well no but it is what it is. Please don't blame me or anyone for a players or coaches decision we have no control and its a little stupid for anyone to think there is an outside control unless you are a big booster/ALUM...
