    why would they not let rose create there?

    Are you referring to pretty much every player after pretty much every foul called?Yes? Particularly right in front of an official isolated from everyone else. Don't we have enough people on here who only make contrarian-type posts already? i don't think we do. hahaha

    He's actually having a pretty decent game.

    Jennings also said he received payment sporadically. I believe he rode quite a bit of pine, too. For a guy like him, it didn't really matter. He could have taken a year off to work at Albertsons and still gone lotto. From the sounds of it, it might be the same for Tyler. I've read that it's much harder to boost your stock by playing in Europe, though. So guys who aren't surefire lotto might make a mistake doing it.

    Better instruction for basketball, which is likely to be the only field he'll ever work in. I guess what I'm asking is, are saying the basketball instruction will be better than what he'll receive at Louisville or better than what he'll receive that final year of high school?
  12. snoodmonger
    I assume you mean better instruction than he'd receive his SR year in HS?

    http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/9483628/Sources:-Xavier-Henry,-brother-pick-Kansas All reports are that Xavier Henry will go to Kansas (along with his brother, who will pay his own way.) The recruitment has been weird enough that I'll really believe it when I see him in crimson and blue, but assuming it's true, we'll be tough to beat. We return every player of note from last year, and we'll add #6 overall, #2 SG-- Xavier Henry #24 overall, #9 PF --Thomas Robinson #29 overall, #7 SG--Elijah Johnson #35 overall, #8 C (2008 class)--Jeff Withey

    Willie Warren returning for his soph season. http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6271764/14548206

    If we get Henry or Stephenson, we will be tough to beat.

    money? I'm confused. You think someone's paying him to stay in school? If you don't hire an agent, don't you have to pay your way through the camps? I might be wrong Oh, I see. Dunno about that.

    The rumors around Lawrence are that Collins and Aldrich will both return. Kind of surprises me about Collins. He's a junior. Why not throw your name in the ring, just to test the waters?
  19. snoodmonger
    Oh, agreed. I've tried to make it pretty clear this is super unlikely. I'm just wondering what would happen if it did go down like that.

    Hypothetical question: if a kid doesn't have his scholarship renewed, does he still have to sit out a year to play elsewhere? Almost certain this is the case. I think if you petitioned the NCAA you might get a ruling in your favor for hardship. Has this ever happened? Doesn't the kid always transfer before it gets to this? It's kind of a technicality. The scholarship "getting pulled" and the transfer are essentially simultaneous events. The kid can't petition to get the year waived unless he's trying to play somewhere else via transfer. Right, but what IG is saying is this. Say KU wanted to add X Henry. But none of the guys wanted to transfer, so we were still over the limit. Self can elect to not renew a a kid's scholly. Kid has no choice in the matter, because they're one year contracts. So now the kid is out in the cold. He can stay at KU (and pay his own way), or he can transfer elsewhere in search of a new scholly. But he has to sit out a year. Even though it wasn't his "choice" to leave the school. Now, this scenario is pretty unlikely. Any college coach that does that would endure a PR nightmare. Still, the way the system is set up, it's possible, and not only does the student get screwed once, he gets screwed again by having to sit out a year.

It seems like a pretty unfair process, though. The school can pull schollies whenever they want, but the kids are penalized if they want to switch schools.

    probably gonna have to run someone off. Unless sherron and cole go pro. Per the Phog Appleton and Quintrell are transfering. i gotta be honest, that kind of bums me out, even though it means we have room for a difference maker. College sports can be pretty nasty. It is what it is. The coaches get paid a lot and have to win. I don't like it, but I get it. Oh, it's the right thing to do for the program. And if the kids are interested in ever playing, it was the right move for them, too. It just kinda sucks it has to be that way. Your final sentence sums it up nicely.
