Bees Bring Back Rycroft

Sorry for not posting this yesterday, but the Rio Grande Vally Killer Bees took advantage of the hiatus being taken by the Rocky Mountain Rage to sign forward Daymen Rycroft, who spent the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons in Hidalgo.

Brian Sandalow has more on the acquisition via his story and a blog entry.

Obviously, any time the Killer Bees sign anyone, it's going to have at least a slight effect on the Bucks because this is the team they face more than any other, and this signing also takes a pretty big free agent off the market.

Too bad this had to be announced after I spoke to Coach Ruskowski for a Bucks update that will run in Monday's Times.

In other league news, the expansion team in Independence, Mo., has a name, and that name is the Missouri Mavericks.

That mavericks logo is horrible. Isn't a maverick an actual person??

Don't know why teams keep associating a Maverick with a horse (Dallas Mavericks).

According to the dictionary a maverick is an unbranded calf, cow, or steer, esp. an unbranded calf that is separated from its mother. A lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates.
