3/5: Starting PG Stew Camp declares for the draft. We offer to an SG.

Flashing lights are closer. Still no idea what’s causing them.

5/1: Recruit class #66.

5/22: Ty Bond leaves. We’re looking for 2 big guys.

We’re about a year from reaching a solar system with two promising planets.

5/26: 0-2.

6/5: We get 2. One will start, the other may start.

6/25: We’re going to Indy and all the regional camps.

6/26: 1st day of recruiting. We need 2 guards and 5 bigs.

7/17: We offer to 7.

7/19: We lost oxygen during my shift. This is, of course, a severe emergency. The main oxygen supply went down. The protocol is for everyone to don their EV suits until the problem is fixed so everyone on the ship, most of whom were asleep given it was 2:45 a.m., did just that.

The 1st back up was working so it wasn’t a true emergency but donning the suits is a sensible precaution, just in case. The problem was soled by about 5:35 a.m. so most people lost a lot of sleep.

8/7: Dan Beck is #4 on the Norton list.

9/11: We get a PG, lose 2 guys.

9/18: We get an SF, lose 3 more.

9/25: We get a C, lose 3 more.

10/2: 1st day of practice.

We get a C, lose 2.

11/13: Here’s the lineup:

Senior Mike Alst moves from Sg to PG. We don’t have a true PG on the team.

Juco junior Josh Doll is at SG. He has looked good.

#3 guard is junior John Benn, who can play. Junior Gene Span can also play. Finally, senior Des Ande never lived up to his promise.

Senior Jess Niel moves to SF. He’s a 3 year starter.

Senior Jed Wils is a transfer from Oregon. He does a lot of things well.

Junior Dan Beck is at C. He’s our best player.

1st big off the bench is senior Cris Grel. Senior Jay Sams is next. Then comes Ted Geez, finally recovered from the ACL tear. Senior Amir Rams is a transfer from Denver. Frosh Carl Roge has potential but he’s not ready yet.

11/14: We start the season with ST Bonaventure here.
