    Training camp fodder.
    Any of them have a chance to stick? Muoneke I've heard of, at least.

    Someone enlighten me! Who ARE some of these guys.

    My dream is coming true. I love Gabe Muoneke. I used to camp out for longhorn games and sit on the baseline. When Gabe got suspended for elbows to the face my friends and I painted our chests in support. I am probably Gabe's biggest fan. I hope he makes the team so I can go cheer for him once again. Best Longhorn Ever!!

    Arizona, forgot what yr. I think it was around their championship yr. I wish they would have invited Tracy Murray or even Lee Nailon.

    Don't we already have a Tracy Murray in Glen Rice? All shoot, no D? Maybe I'm exaggerating since he does move better than Rice, but I've never seen a human outside of maybe Mark Eaton move slower on D than Tracy Murray. I saw him play at the Summer Leagues and his shot was still there.

    Does JVG like dirty players? Gabe is one of the few Longhorns that I'm not fond of.

    I think Mike Wilks has a good chance to make the team as our 3rd sting PG. He got quite a bit of playing time last year for a rookie. He played his college ball at Rice.

    It's about time the Rockets upgraded at catcher.

    I think you might be right Matador.Wilks played some point for the Wolves and is a pretty good passer.He could be a better backup than Tito Maddux.

    We signed 5 players in one day? Did we come across a basketball garage sale, or something.

    My initial reaction: WTF? Why are we doing this? Did we scout these guys? Why is it such a quiet deal?

    I have a bad feeling about this

    don't worry droxford. I think all these guys are training camp fodder for the most part with the possible exception of Wilks. see Brandon Kurtz, Steve Goodrich, Sonny Watson, Pete Mickeal, etc. from last years training camp.

    Clutch has a nice write up of the guys here
