Kyle Kelm is.....

LET THE SPECULATION BEGIN!!!

We have ZERO scholarships available yet, we are going after 2 guys very hard. Who is getting recruited over? Who is leaving?

I hate to say it, but I was right, us signing 7 guys last year was a big mistake! Now we have to give some players the boot OR they have to leave. It will be good for us as a basketball team, but it does NOT look good

actually, i thought we were recruiting 3 pretty hard-hb obviously, kelm-obviously, and the mysterious 3rd player to be named at a later date if barnes decides to go somewhere else. honestly, i really don't care-i hope we can get all 5 of them because it sounds like they would all be upgrades in talent from what i hear around this place.

Everyone has a backup plan, but he is just that, a backup plan. That means we will only give out 2 scholarships.

It's dumb. We can spin it however we want. Coaches knew that we were in on some really really good 2010 talent and YET we went out and signed 7 guys last signing period. A couple of which will never play.

Now we are put in the position of running people off, and that never looks good

"In on" and signed are two different things. We have been "in on" some great talent many years and couldn't close the deal. We haven't closed the deal yet for on some of these guys, and we are speculating about things that haven't happened yet. The guys on the team now are developing, and you need a full team to practice. If someone decides they are good enough for more PT elsewhere, why is that a bad deal when they leave, assuming they complete their classes and keep their grades up so it doesn't impact scholarships from the academic standpoint?
 
Quit the damn speculation of scholarships and let the coaches do their jobs. Do you idiots honestly think they don't know what they are doing? Some of you guys are so out of the loop its getting annoying. Either know whats going on or just sit and listen until you figure it out, quit with the dumb posts. Who is Kelm??? Are you serious??

Oh....Happy Thanksgiving to everyone too.....

Stupid question: If somebody redshirts... do they still take up a scholarship??? For some reason I was thinking you are only on scholarship during your active years... but that's probably wrong. But if true that can explain a LOT.

No, you were not right.

Did the Cory Johnson situation look bad? No, in fact it actually reflected well on the staff because they were honest with Cory and even helped him find a school. When handled well, it can be a positive. Personally, I am guessing this is why Boozer and Mann are playing as true freshmen, so they preserve their redshirt for the year they have to sit out after transferring.

If you follow other teams, this sort of thing happens all the time. It really doesn't look bad, and if we don't try to recruit over people then we will never get better.

The coaches know what they are doing.

I say who cares! That is what McDermott gets paid the big bucks for. My worries are being in my seat and cheering as loud as I can.

Cory did not leave because of a scholarship situation. That had nothing to do with it.

If Kelm commits, we have no open schollies for Barnes. We'd make room for him, but that's shady.
 
boozer and Mann seem replaceable. LOL I think carlos should pay for Charles college. Has carlos been to any games to see Charles play
 
This won't be popular but to make an omelet you have to crack some eggs. If some guys get recruited over and they have to move on so be it.

No, it's not shady at all. Gmac and his staff know what they're doing.
