Roster definitely looks better. Now we need to see who can shoot the ball and make plays.

Just give you a little bit more on Johnson go to 2 minute mark of the attached video see Johnson man handle 7 foot plus center at 3 minute mark he throws a head fake and reverse dunks driving down the lane. The kid can also hit the three. He needs to improve strength but this is a great pickup. www.youtube.com/watch?v=26CSqhvJTQg#t=337.84261

i agree that joyner appears to have "significantly" upgraded the talent on our roster and especially the gantz kid appears to be a big time "difference maker". but i've been through many incoming recruit excitement experiences before in the past and as much as i'd like to get excited "yet again" as i have over the last 20 years, i just can't do it this time. even if we sign the next coming of michael jordan, i can't allow myself to get excited because i've been "burnt" too many times in the past.
but when i see our team significantly improved on the basketball court, that's when i'll get excited. most folk on this message board know that it don't take much to get oleschool excited about aggie athletics. but i'm "snake bitten" relative to our men's basketball program. yes, i'm optimistic about the new incoming talent, but i'll wait and see the final product on the basketball court before i get "excited".
however, isn't it "peculiar" that joyner was able to sign the best talent we've had in our men's basketball program since heavens knows when right after we "coincidentally" made the first major upgrade to corbett center (new scoreboard) in decades? i know, folk will say its just a coincidence. but it ain't.
so much for the naysayers who say don't upgrade corbett center because facility upgrades don't help recruiting...

I doubt any of these guys even saw it prior to signing. For both you & OSA... let's remember the rules of engagement at the beginning of this thread. This is about our guys... not our feelings on the facilities issues. Take it to another thread if you must... there are plenty out there.

Anyway , is there a complete list of all the new Aggie basketball players

Not a bad roster after you throw in McGowans, Watson, Pratt, Hamilton and Williams.
