Trial by fire! Should be very interesting, too bad the games are not streamed. ---

Any surprises or rumors of guys coming back due to 5 for 5 we didn’t know about? ---

Have not heard any while I would not be surprised, I feel most impact players have moved on and don’t feel like ruining themselves to get back in shape over the next two weeks…. ---

Agree perhaps a suprise somewhere but ruling came in really late. Next year, however one would expect this being a big impact. ---

Agreed. I think it came too late for fall sports. Maybe we will see some on the women’s side since they would have until spring to get ready. ---

Yawn, that’s not nearly as exciting as what it could be…let’s spice it up a bit. ---

I was going to point out that USC only has 21 players currently on its roster and maybe they aren’t done shopping yet. ---

Definitely more likely ---

Falitz and Kubeck not listed on UCLAs roster. Are they still at UCLA? ---

So much for roster limits they grew from 26 to 30. They must have made everyone a DA. ---

I think a couple of their late adds last year came in under that umbrella. Also, some of the transfers in could be DFAs. That would make them more marketable. ---

I believe both are gone. Jake Liechty is now the lead assistant on the men’s side and Nico Tierney is returning. James Robinson will hire his own staff for the women’s team.
