For now Kaleb Joseph is on our team and deserves the support and encouragement of both the coaching staff and fans alike. I for one am going to withhold all judgement on the kid until this upcoming season unfolds a bit. It's been mentioned above by many how the kid was put into a position he and many of us did not expect him to be thrust into. He had some problems his freshman season as a result. Do people not remember how Chris McCulluough struggled mightily himself after his first couple games?

And there should be no surprise in the fact that the tenor of the programs recruitment is to find a BBD (bigger better deal) at any of the positions. In today's college basketball teams make ups are characterized by a high level of transience. The very fact that Ennis moved on after one season is the prefect example of that. To continue to complete the staff has to constantly be looking at bringing in talent since there is such a high level of premature NBA stoked  departures. This coupled with the fact we are dealing with a truncated scholarship number may put pressure to do things with respect to the roster which the coaching staff, under normal conditions wouldn't do. To me that may lend credence to some of the claims that KJ has been recruited over. The pressure to win is intense.

For now KJ is on the roster. Let's get behind him and hope he does well.
