Follow up probe to how many scholarship players: "7 to 8." Learned that he has a bit of hope to get NCAA approval for Caesar DeJesus to play this season. He also said that Chance has just finished rehab and starts restricted workouts, so he might be able to contribute. Asked about closed scrimmage against Miami, indicated that Tacko got quickly fouled 4 times by his opposing counterpart. Raved about A.J. versatility to plug him in if a teammate gets in foul trouble. Called B.J. a "scoring point guard" who still is learning how to get teammates more involved. He was not overly worried about lack of depth. The new assistant coaches who had helped with the FGCU miracle and the former Campbell coach were impressive. The women's coach is a great hire, and she brought along her assistants. Women players spending 4 days a week in the weight room. Good time had by all.

Hope we have a good year! go Knights !
Dawkins has more to work with than Frost had. He sounds optimistic bordering on confidence. Basketball success is about forging a team chemistry and installing an effective system. He also wants us to have a home court advantage that opposing coaches fear -- we'll have to see about that part.
