Gene, have you seen much of Tony Battie & Cory Carr from Texas tech ?  I
saw a couple games and was impressed.  I also like Anderson, Shea Seals,
James Cotton, or Dedric Willoughby if we don't land a Kendall Gill type via
trade.  Maybe we can land someone decent with the second rounder which
should be what in the 29-33 range ?

Duncan
Battie, Skinner or Pollard ?

Anyone know anything about Austin Croshere of Providence ?  I have heard
his name some.
