Well Ellerman is probably a first round pick in the upcoming draft

Looking forward to CFH magic for the next bball season, Georges style. -

Surprised nobody has brought up maybe this recruit is Jone's backup? Seems like Jones won't appear at all in a cyclone uniform and maybe Fred knows that

That's not true once they have signed an LOI or financial aid agreement. Once that is done, he can talk all he wants about them. Jones has signed the financial aid agreement and as far as I know has been practicing wth the team.

Jones has signed the financial aid agreement and as far as I know has been practicing wth the team. As I said, he is on the roster on Cyclones.com. If Fred was unable to talk about him the AD wouldn't be able to put him on their website's roster either.

At the very least, his parents aren't in an extremely bad position as far as helping financially.

I also find it hilarious that you apparently edited your post for spelling errors, yet you still have at least two incorrectly spelled words still in it, not to mention grammatical errors. It was a dumb post but knocking the guy for cleaning up his post but at the same time not enough is equally "hilarious". When posting something on your phone I often have many errors and may just edit something big to make it coherent but leave the rest. Really who gives a ****, he was talking out of his *** so just call him for that.

Look, teams and schools find ways for walkons to get scholarships. Their work on the team almost turns into a huge volunteer project that takes up a large part of their life. Especially with his good academics, I would wager he does just fine.
