No Pitino has kept both his exemptions intact, and no the exemptions don't
get wasted they can always be used to aquire somebody down the line. I don't
see Schintzius or Garnett making the final roster.

that RP gave either to Shinsplints or that PG guy.  Then do they go to
waste?  Are they a use them or lose them thing?  Can they be saved for a
pickup during the season, if God forbid we need one?  Are they around for
next year, or do we get 2 more then.  And lastly if any team uses one in a
multi-year deal, do they lose that slot for the term of the deal?  I would
assume so.

Williams away from Portland, where he has stated he wanted to return. Alvin
got the 1.75MM slot in a 3 year deal, when Stewart got the wink deal for
only 1 year.

>Lastly for anyone who can catch the game; today's Washington-Stanford game
will be a classic, I hope.  Todd McCullough the 7 foot plus center for the
Huskies had a career game Thursday versus California; 31 points, no missed
FT's, 17 boards, 5 blocks, 3 steals, a couple of assists, only 2 fouls, and
NO turnovers.  He is the real deal, and will definitely be around at our
likely spot.  There is no fat on this boy and he gives 110% every night.
Check out the game if you can, and let's consider him for a pick in June.
