As bad as we have been in the past and as valuable as a 7 footer might have been, many on this board have begged for Andrew to be given a chance to play or if needed learn to play on the job. Last year he did finally get a little playing time, but we were being reasonably successful without him. So it now seems that he will get significant minutes, if he produces of course, so I for one am very excited to see how that works out.
Go Beach!

: LONG BEACH STATE MAKES QUICK TURNAROUND
:
: Dan Monson took over a team a couple years
: ago that was in shambles.
:
: Two years later, Monson and Long Beach State
: are being picked by many as the odds-on
: favorites to win the Big West.
:
: The 49ers lose leading scorer Donovan Morris
: (14.8 ppg) off last season's 15-15 team, but
: Monson brings back four key freshmen and
: senior guard Stephen Gilling.
:
: "We have the same team that was .500
: last year," Monson warned. "We
: have to be better."
:
: Larry Anderson was a first-team all-league
: guy in his first season after averaging 10.8
: points and 4.0 rebounds last season and
: coming off the bench most of the year.
: Fellow frosh T.J. Robinson (11.4 ppg, 6.2
: rpg) and Casper Ware (9.1 ppg, 4.1 apg) both
: made the league's all-freshman team.
:
: Monson is also hopeful that 6-foot-9 Lin
: Chang, a native of China who spent last
: season at Mira Coast College and has three
: years of eligibility remaining, could come
: in and make an immediate impact.
:
: "He can shoot the three, post up and is
: a good passer," Monson said. "If
: he can make the adjustment, he'll be a big
: key for us."
:
: Monson also said he's prepared to involve
: 7-foot, 270-pound senior Andrew Fleming more
: into the offense.
:
: "When you have a guy like that, you
: have to change a lot – and we weren't ready
: to do that last year," Monson admitted.
: "But my plan is to stick with him. He
: can change shots, finish and block
: shots."
