I actually think that HELPS US, Litl.
We can be more certain of BJM's status by the late signing period. Thus we don't risk re-using his ship in the Fall and then something happens that makes him want to stay a 2nd year and we are in a real bind.
Now we do have an open ship right now so BJM's would be a 2nd one. But the APR thing is looming, with KK dealing another double blow and also losing Wallace, so maybe you can't risk using both in 09 - in case something happened where we lost one.
I'd much rather wait on Orton's decision in the Spring ( yes there is the risk that we'd get no one ) than sign a project or much lesser player in the Fall. We need real HELP INSIDE in 09-10. I haven't heard of anyone on the radar BESIDES ORTON who could provide what we so desperately need.
I'm not sure yet another JUCO is the answer ( how good is Mathis anyway and he can't help at the 5 like Orton ). A project like SVT doesn't help for that season. A JUCO 5 might be of interest but I haven't heard any names pop up.
I'd like to see another marquee name pop up from the class but so many are already spoken for it seems dubious at present.
