2 scholarships

Vette and Brister's. Haluska and Peterson will only stay on schollie if they are not going to bring in some more players. Otherwise they will revert to paying their own way.

Classic

I thought it was interesting what he said about how wanting to have 5 post players and 8 guards on scholarship most years.

Interesting, I had forgotten all about Marcus Brister until this very moment. What is he up to?

I think he's transferring to a smaller d1 school in Texas.

Anyways, didn't mean to turn this into a bash the callers thread. I also noticed that Mac was a little more animated than usual on Saturday and wondered if he was upset enough to say anything about it, even though he can't say much. Doesn't sound like he said much.

Yeah those are annoying, don't need to hear your life story either or your crazy ideas, just get to the point!

"Hi Greg, my wife and I have been attending Cyclone games for 27 years now, we even named our dog McDermott because we are such big fans of you. He really like to watch the games with us, we've even taught him this neat little trick where he can flip a mini basketball into the toilet with his nose. I think we saw you at Culver's the other day, how was your burger? Probably not as good as Applebee's though. My wife really likes the tequilla lime chicken meal there, myself I prefer the fish and chips. Oh, my question is have you ever thought of running the triangle offense before? You know it worked pretty good for Jordan and the Bulls so have you ever thought of running it? I'll hang up and listen, thanks!"

Tequila lime chicken is the best.

I thought there was still concern about losing one of the 2 scholarships due to APR issues? We have 2 available but do we know for sure for how much longer?

Do we assume we have two and sign 2 more? What if we "lose' a scholly due to the APR after the fact? Does A.T. then pay his own way at that point? I say AT because he's in-state and there may have been a prior discussion with coach when he transferred. We can't get a commitment and then tell him "Thanks, but no thanks".

I don't know when those determinations are made but assume Mac does. :)

I think the transfers will hurt our APR, and it was really bad under Morgan. I am not sure whether that will affect our scholarship situation or not.

IMO Petey and Haluska would be the first 2 to relinquish scholarships if they were needed. AT's paid his time in the program with a redshirt year and has really stepped up his defensive game. IMO, he has earned to keep his over those other 2 guys if someone has to give one up.

I know, but we are already assuming Petey and Haluska are off scholarship for the 2 scholarships being discussed in this thread. If we lose one due to APR then we have an issue and I assume AT is the next domino in line. Just an assumption.

Considering AT will be at least a part time starter next year, I highly doubt Gmac considers his scholarship as an option to be pulled.

He is for now, and he has already been on recruiting trips to Baylor and Tex A&M, so we might be playing against him in the next few years...That would be interesting...
