With 14 eligible returning players and this impressive new 11-man recruiting class, Calvin should have a great jv team, GoodKnight (or some disappointed returnees and recruits)? Coaches, I presume, would rather have too much talent than too little. I'm guessing you have your varsity contributors in the post-Jalen era already penciled in.

Everyone will have the opportunity to compete for playing time in the fall, and I believe Coach Sall and the Calvin staff do a good job honestly communicating with recruits and seem to set realistic expectations with where they see them fitting in.

Case in point: during this year's MBB banquet, Luka Ressler recounted his recruitment and how Sall told him he saw him beginning as a JV player. Luka got to work proving what he could do and started 17 varsity games as a freshman.

Interesting sirname - isn't that what all your relatives call you GK, or maybe that's OK    :)
