I'd be more in favor of him coming if this is the case. That way he wouldn't be using a scholarship while he sits.
Show me the list of the programs from the power conferences in the Top 25 that have rosters that are built with, and dominated by, a bunch of 4 year players.
If you want to truly compete in a power conference and be in the national discussion you need to have more talented guys than you typically get with a player that hangs around for 4 years.
It is what it is.
We were already short one scholly for our incoming class before DP transferred. We are losing DG, JVB, Phillips, and Anderson and gaining Cook, Odunsi, Sledge, and McGee
So how does Lucious fit into this? Someone has to go. Also, anyone afraid Palo will jet and head somehwere were he will be on scholarship?
So to the people against bringing him in for 1 year. Would you be against FH going after a potential 1 and done high schooler? It's college basketball, any program worth a lick is dealing with 1 or 2 year players all the time. College bball coaches and players (atleast the ones I'd like to see us get) aren't looking for a 4 or 5 year committment. It's about winning now and dealing with the turnover as it comes.
I stand by us needing 13 scholarship players, so we can have 8-9 Big 12 players. We are not getting Baylor level recruits here(that made me throw up a little in my mouth). we are pulling in some high upside guys that arre 3 stars. These are not sure things and some will not work out, so we need to fill all 13 of these with usable players so we can develop the 8-9 that can play Big 12 basketball.
Not at all. Palo's a good kid, but if we can get more playing time somewhere else, great. He's never going to be a starting B12 quality guard.
Because he's failed multiple drug tests in East Lansing and been given 5-6 chances.
.Degand was actually a solid basketball player who started multiple for years for North Carolina State. Brister, not so much.
Here's the deal, if he wants to come here on his own for next year and pay his own way, I'd be happy to give him a scholarship the following year. Experience on a final four team is always a plus. Not to mention the fact that he would make the scout team better next year.
I do however feel that CFH could bring in somebody better, both athletically and mindset, than to have Lucious using up a scholly for a year only to play one season. We aren't really lack in the guard position...

Am I afraid that will lose a good walkon because we are landing scholarship basketball players who are better than him? Uh, no.
I'm about done with this transfer-in thing too. I'd rather us go out there and take fliers on high school kids that may not pan out. Come on, coach...we've been doing pretty well the last 5 years with our current system. Why would you want to go out and take 40% of Michigan State's final four team from last year?! We are Iowa State! Kids are lining up to play here!
Degand also had terrible luck. He blew out both of his knees, and lost a lot of his explosiveness because of that.
I would be concerned if Fred pulls a scholarship offer from a high school kid for this. We already have early commits for next year, and what high school kid will be willing to commit to us in the future if he knows that it might get pulled on a whim if somebody gets kicked off a college team.
If he wants to come here off scholarship to try to get exposure and an NBA spot, I'd welcome him, but pulling offers is a bad precedent.

However, you are losing good depth for the next 3 years for someone who can only play a year after sitting out a year...
