Question from Rick

Dear Coach Walters,
I like the Media Guide. Very Nice!
I noticed Tavarus Harris is no longer on the roster. Will he not join the Team?

Looking forward to November 2nd.

Kindest Regards,

Rick

Response from Coach Walters
Rick,

Thank you for the email and question. Because of NCAA rules, Tavarus is currently not a member of our team. Unfortunately, that is the only comment that I can make right now. If and when I am able to more completely comment on this I will, you will just need to be patient with me at this time. Thanks.

Question or comment from Justin
Kick ass job on the media guide.

Response from Head Coach Rex Walters

Justin,
Thanks for the comment. I am also very happy with the job that Mike Boseak and Katrina McCormack did with our media guide. My goal is to make the basketball program at Florida Atlantic a true power in college basketball and I was happy to see that the media guide was done so well. We will continue to try to improve in all areas of the basketball program. Thanks again and have a great week.

Question from Johnny
What do you know about Kone? What kind of role do you see him playing?

And, exactly how many forwards does this team have? I'm guessing there will be a lot of fast breaks.

Is Avery Holley going to be playing basketball too?

Response from Coach Rex Walters

Johnny,
Seydou has done a good job for us. He is very skilled and has very good touch all the way out to the three-point line. He is battling to keep his body healthy and I like his maturity and toughness to do the things that we ask him to do. If he continues to do this, I believe he can really help the team this year.

We are a lot bigger than last year, but still need to overcome a lot to have the kind of success that I would like in the non-conference and conference schedule. We will run no question, but you can't run with out the ball. We need to get a lot of stops and rebounds on the defensive end and we will work our tails off to do this.

Avery is doing a great job on the football field and once their season is over, we look forward to getting him over here at the Arena.

Hope to see you on the 2nd of November!

Question from Bill

When is your midnight madness going to be???

Response from Coach Walters
No midnight practice this year. There was a scheduling conflict that night. We will be working though, once we are allowed to get after it by the NCAA. Hope to see you on the 2nd of November though!!!
