Vanloo 2012

VanLoo coming this year for a redshirt would be a stretch due to finances one would think. Cost would be out of her pocket and I am sure the international rate is quite steep

Agree, if she is ineligible to play this season, she won't ever play at ISU. That would be unfortunate.
 
I can confirm that Vanloo will not play at Iowa State next season. The coaching staff is hopeful she will join the Cyclones for the 2012-13 season. I'll know more details shortly.
 
I really don't understand the NCAA rules when it comes to foreign players. It seems like there is more scrutiny on them being eligible to play than US kids.

Only if they are going to be playing at I-State or some other meaningless program...
 
Iowa State Recruit Vanloo To Wait A Year - Iowa State University Athletics Official Web Site - www.CYCLONES.com - The home of Iowa State Cyclone Sports

AMES, Iowa - Iowa State women's basketball recruit Julie Vanloo is working toward attending a college in Belgium for the 2011-12 academic year with the hopes of attending Iowa State in the near future.

"We have been informed by the NCAA that Julie has not been cleared to play basketball at Iowa State during the 2011-12 academic year," Iowa State head coach Bill Fennelly said. "Throughout the process, Julie has maintained her passion about becoming a Cyclone. She is looking into the possibility of attending a college in Belgium which would allow her to attend and play at Iowa State in the near future."

Per NCAA rules, Vanloo, a native of Oostende, Belgium, would be eligible to attend Iowa State in the future provided she meets academic qualifications for international transfer students. Vanloo would be a freshman student-athlete in 2012-13.

Fennelly will have no further comment
 
It should be emphasized that unlike the situation with a certain German MBB player who shall remain nameless, Vanloo would still have four years of eligibility remaining. This basically just pushes back her eligibility one season.

I wonder how this affects her LOI? Does she sign a new one in November? It seems she's high on ISU and will come here if she comes to the US, but part of me is slightly worried that this development could re-open her recruitment to other schools. Also, does that mean Fennelly can't speak publicly about her anymore once the school year starts and she isn't enrolled?

Since she can't sign this year, she is free to start the process from scratch. She could choose to go anywhere next year.

I'm hoping that Vanloo and other international university contenders take notice of how BF coaches in the world university games.
 
now we sit and wait. we will see what happens. shes a very talented young lady. cant wait to see what she brings next season if she comes. we will be a solid team next year thats for sure
 
Has there been any recent news at all? I haven't heard anything since last fall. Did she even enroll in school over there? She'll probably go through school only to have the NCAA declare here ineligible in the summer. :skeptical:
 
From what are under stand the n c a a is not the issue from her in rolling in college her coursework should be good to go. Again if I recall correctly we are waiting on her government slash sports authority to a release her and it would be june or july before we heard anything
