bjf00- thanks, but this was addressed in the other topic thread. Even I know Toby's not leaving. But there is a possibility that he graduates this year and would stay as a graduate student, freeing up his scholie for a potential 3rd additional open scholarship for 2017. Geoff did this in his 5th season, so it is a possibility.

NO, it isn't. Geoff became a TA in the business school, received tuition remission and a stipend. He didn't just graduate and go off scholarship and pay grad school tuition himself.

AA is right. Toby's graduating has nothing to do with free-ing up a scholarship. If he were to graduate his inclusion on the roster would mean he would be one of the 13 spots. And he's not looking elsewhere. He's a large part of what the Jays want to do next year.

Iowa Western big-man is beginning to garner high-major interest as one of the best posts in the JC ranks. Lake's from US Virgin Islands and spent time in Virginia prior to the past two years with the Reivers. Lake's averaging 13 & 7 on 70% from the field. Iowa State, Kansas State, West Virginia & Kansas are interested. He's been to a Creighton game or two as a guest I believe.


Looks like the physical post player we need. Patton has more offensive skill than just about any big man in the conference, but on the defensive end, or in the physical arena, he gets pushed around a little too much.

For instance, Angel Delgado (who doesn't have the offensive dynamic of Patton and doesn't run the floor like Patton is more polished all-around, IMO at the center position) averaged a double-double vs us in both our games, getting 17 rebounds (to Patton's 2) in our loss to them. Having a physically strong big to rotate in with Patton would be HUGE

Patton may very well have the biggest upside as anyone at his position and I wouldn't trade him for any other big in the country... In one year he's exploded onto the scene. But he's still not the best 5 in our conference, which is why I really hope/think/pray, he returns. Delgado averages a double-double for the year and in their two head-to-head matchups, their point totals are in the same ballpark, but the rebounds and physical play greatly favor Delgado.
