Question from Justin
What's going with Hernandez's eligibility? I know there was some hope he would be able to play after November 2, the day he announced his departure of George Mason, any news?

I'm really looking forward to this season. With a year under your belt and knowing what to expect I can only imagine what you'll be able to accomplish. A starting lineup like this should be pretty good in Belt play.

And maybe for the first time in history will be able to take some non-conference games and get a nice RPI.

Parmer
Hernandez

Tell Parmer to eat his freaking Wheaties and get in the weight room this year. The guy has the ability but needs a get tough.

Response from Head Coach Rex Walters
We plan on having Sammy available some time after the first semester. Sammy did a good job for us last year in practice and really improved his strength and conditioning. We will be deeper at every position and I would like to believe that we will defend it better. No one is more excited than me and I really appreciate you kind words. All of our guys are working hard this summer and we plan on having the entire team in late June for summer school. Teams are made in the winter and players are made in the summer. If our guys don't come back in shape...they will regret it when I get to work them out.
