To get to 13 next year?

Fred said in an interview that odunsi has a 4.0 gpa and is very smart, what are the chances he gets and academic scholarship?

He would still count against the 13.

I can say with certainty that an out-of-state player won't be paying tuition next year while redshirting.

That is pretty obvious, if you have a scholly you do not pay tuition. We may have two that will be redshirting.

[cykadelic2]

Has there been any talk of redshirting someone while they pay for a year? So they wouldn't really be on scholorship next year, but would be after that. This would probably only apply to Odunsi and Sledge, and I have no idea what their family financial situations are like. I was just throwing out a suggestion I haven't seen considered.

The two likely scenarios are that one of the incoming frosh ends up at prep school instead for academic or athletic reasons or SC decides to not use up his last year of eligibility.

Are you just rephrasing our previous posts or are you stating that you know that he going to be done after this season?

The cat is out of the bag.

that's interesting. I could definitely see him packing it up after this year. He could possibly have enough credits to graduate. I mean he is strictly a SG. This year all he has to share time with is Demarcus. Next year he will be competing for time with Chris Allen, Chris Babb, Phillips, and Odunsi. Someone is done after this year, unless Hoiberg is just trying to be proactive and expecting someone to quit after looking at the trends of the past few seasons at Iowa State.

I'm hoping that crap is over with!

It's not. It may not be in as large of numbers but transfers happen all over the country at every school.

As for Scotty-I hope he stays. Having said that, this is as viable of a scenario as any other.

I just think Hoiberg knows about someone that is done after this year that he isn't saying yet. You don't just fill 14 scholarships when you have 13 for no reason. Next year we are going to be overloaded with guards.

Scott Christopherson-SG-RS Senior
Chris Allen-SG-RS Senior
Demarcus Phillips-SG-Senior
Chris Babb-SG-RS Junior
Tyrus McGee-PG/SG-Junior
Anthony Odunsi-SG/PG-Freshman
Tavon Sledge-PG/SG-Freshman

Scott is the only one that would make sense for him to be done after this year. He has enough credits to graduate and he wont get much playing time next year with Allen and Babb in front of him. I could see us redshirting Sledge and possibly Odunsi, even though Hoiberg always states how big 12 ready Odunsi is already.

Not sure its given that Babb is in front of Scott. I too, will wait to see how this year goes.

IF there is ever an upcoming season where we DON'T have 14 scholarships on the hook I would be concerned. This is awesome, every year at least 1 guy will leave because of playing time. Guaranteed. There simply is not enough playing time for more than 8 guys -at most 10 guys. Nobody wants to wait their turn anymore unfortunately. That's why we need to have 1 JuCo at least in each class, and aim to fill 14 each year.

The 4 year guys are a thing of the past. They want to stretch their careers to 5 years but don't want to redshirt right away. So... Sit on the bench for 2 years at X school -then transfer and redshirt, then hopefully play the final 2 years for someone else. We've had too many, but everyone has 1-2 every year. Recruit for 14-15 guys, that's what Kansas and a lot of the good schools are doing.

lots or reasons besides playing time that guys leave: ineligibility/ grades issues, health issues, family problems, etc.

I think he'll still get significant PT if he is here. You can never have too many shooters.

Actually, I think this is pretty common. In fact, Floyd once signed 17 players for a year.

It'll work itself out. It's very rare that no players leave between years.

I hope Scotty is here next year.

[ajk4st8]

He is listed as a RSJr on the roster. People continue to shot SC down based off his play last year which is totally ridiculous. I will wait to judge him until I see enough of him healthy.

Ive seen him 3 times this year. Great kid, but shouldn't be starting in the Big 12. He would be really great coming off the bench next year.

[cyclonefreak5]

With so many guards, any chance we implement the Grinnell offense?

[Cydkar]

I was answering a question about how to get down to 13. I debunked the notion that somebody may walk on for a year and pay tuition. It won't happen.
