I missed the radio show with work. Can anyone summarize what Coach Brownell said?

I caught just a little bit of the show. He said he would probably be looking at JUCO's this Spring since he has 6 scholarships to fill. This would allow him to balance the classes plus add some upper classmen to the roster.
= He did say Drew was only 6-5 and he might have to play center, along with Scottie Wilson.
= He also thought he would have to employ multiple defenses since he was limited with interior players.
= He said Thomas was very skilled for a big man and would likely see a lot of minutes next year.
That's all I caught.

I was pleased to hear Coach Brownell mention that we would be pressing more and trying to utilize fast break opportunities more this year due to our lack of size. All in all, I was pleased with what Coach Brownell had to say.

I also forgot that Coach did mention our roster for this year is set. We won't have any late additions unless we add a walk-on. Our roster on WSUraiders.com is current. www.wsuraiders.com/mbasketball/roster.html

i think if drew stayed a couple of more years, he would be a 5'9" point guard. coach also said that he would consider a buy game if it was the right situation, but that our schedule for next year, between return games for all our games this year plus return game for bracket buster, plus bracket buster, was about full. he thought we might have one more game to add, and that he was interested in an exempt tourney if we were invited. success next year might lead to that invitation. pretty good show although the environment was bad for the show. hopefully, the show in october, the 9th i think, will be in one of the rooms off to the side. GO RAIDERS!!!!!1

Having our schedule mostly set for next year should be a huge bonus for our coaches. They can focus on coaching and recruiting this year.
