B12 players in trouble....

[ISUJeff]

I realize most cyclone fans like to lament that it is only us that gets screwed, but thought the following recent developments were "interesting."

KSU - Wally Judge - indefinite leave. McD's AA who's pretty much a bust so far, suspended.

Mizz - Starting PG Dixon suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules.

KU - Mario Little - arrested last night, charged with battery.

NU - German center likely to quit and (try to) go pro.

That's quite a list the last 48 hours!!

I blame the officials!

One more to add to the list of the last 48 hrs: OU freshman T.J Taylor quitting team.

TJ Taylor was a guard that we really wanted early in the recruiting process for 2010. He committed to OU early though. Would have been nice to have him here.

I think that you're thinking of Tyrone Appleton, who was another JuCo kid that KU signed in the same class as Little. Nothing I can find says Little ever had any interest in ISU.

This. Tyrone Appleton was the kid they got that we wanted. He would have been a great compliment inside with Brackins. He flamed out at KU and I think is playing for UNLV. Correct me if I am wrong on his current school.

No Mario. We were in his top 3 out of juco. Here is one link. We were actually in his top 2. Then KU, Illinois, and K State jumped in. I actually thought we would end up getting him early. Then late to many schools got in on him.

I think you're thinking of Quintrell Thomas, a power forward from Jersey, who transfered to Vegas. ISU, as far as I know, wasn't ever a big player in his recruitment. Appleton was the JuCo guard who was down to ISU and KU. He also flamed out at KU, and I think he's out of basketball altogether now.

I want to say he would have been better off here, but the pile of flamed-out bodies is too large.:sad:

Guarantee that anyone currently suspended will have their suspension lifted immediately before we play them. Happens every time.

Actually... It would probably be more likely that the backup replacing the guys that are suspended would drop 40 points on us.

wow...good thing for KU that the guy that received the money just became eligible.
