The thing with college basketball is you can never be complacent and sit still. The moment you do, someone else passes you. As a coaching staff, Coach Bent and I are always tweaking our offensive and defensive sets. Finding ways to add wrinkles that give us an edge, and can provide our oppoents with something they haven't already seen from us on film.
The other area that we can't sit still in is recruiting. Coach Bent and I (mainly Coach) have put together a very impressive recruiting class for the 2011-12 season. Having a total of 13 scholarships to fill for next season, we were a little apprehensive that we might not be able to fill all the spots. Now we wish we had more scholarships. It has been very successful. Next year we look to return three players off of this years team (only one counts towards our scholarship total), bringing back our redshirt, and adding eleven new players.
Of those nine, we have already recieved verbal commitments five players, three of them from the state of Indiana and two from the state of Illinois. All three from Indiana were pre-season All-State selections. Of our Illinois commits, one worksout at the Chicago Bulls Academy in Chicago, and the other has a shot to set several state records.
For the remaining six sports, we have about eight or so players in the mix. Should be a fun group too. I will keep it posted as more players make their choice to play at DACC official.
