LOL you just told DrMike about groin injuries. Unless DR stands for "DJ Rapmaster" and not doctor.

There is an episode of the TV comedy Cheers where Sam Malone tries his hand as a sportscaster. During an editorial he tries a little rap;

"Get your scores from a guy like me
Who knows what it's like to have a groin injury
G-g-groin, G-g-groin, G-g-groin injury."

I thought red shirts, even medical, are usually listed on the roster.

I believe it's only if they're on scholarship.

I’m not a useful kind of doctor.

I vaguely remember last year one of the returners not being listed on the roster but was there come fall. Might be a summer school thing….have to get a few units before being eligible. Hate to speculate. He was one of my favorites last season

I’m not thinking it looks good for Beasley’s return since one of the new guys has jersey #5.

yeah verbal commits is showing Beasley as transferred out. Doesn’t feel like he reached his full potential at ucd (injuries) so hopefully he lands at a good spot.

I think Davis has the most interesting incoming transfer in the BWC in this guy:

Just saw that Joaquin Strong transferred to Fullerton JC. He red-shirted last year as a freshman and I assume, with the additions of similar sized wings Pablo Tamba (JUCO) and Marsalis Roberson (Cal), that playing time was going to be tight.

Kind of a bummer that he left. I thought he was going to be a promising player for us. Hard to know why...could be a playing time thing but I wonder if academics might have been a problem since he transferred to a JC and not another 4 year school? Who knows, playing athletics at Davis is a tough balancing act between the sport and the academics though.

Yeah I was looking forward to watching his progression.

I'm confused in the meaning of "walk-on" in NCAAB. Connor Sevilla committed to the UC Davis basketball team, but he's a "walk-on" according to the Verbal Commits webpage. I guess this means that "committed" is not necessarily a scholarship player? I did not know one has to announce "committed" for being a "walk-on."
