Brian Carlwell - Basketball Recruiting

He would still have to sit out a year, wouldn't he?

I don't know anymore about this case than anyone else in this thread which is very little. I am just going to go with common sense and say that most likely this kid wasn't out feeding the poor or teaching to kids to read before his drunk buddy smashed his car.

I'm sorry but you're way out of line here, and you have no idea what the situation is. Actually, Carlwell is a good kid that has had a really rough time there. He was very injured in the accident last year and Jamar Smith left him in the car because he thought he was dead. He had a tremendous concussion and didn't play the rest of last year - and then got hurt early this year.

Dispite all this he has remained a steadfast cheerleader for the Illinois program and is a good student. Leave this one alone.

Hence my statements:

I don't know anymore about this case than anyone else in this thread

OR

I am just going to go with common sense

BUT, let's say this kid was stone sober. Well, then I would have to say he is a complete dope for letting someone drive him around who was wasted enough to smash up the car.

Forget this one. We don't have a scholarship to spare while waiting for him to get eligible. Is there any reason why he would consider ISU when we weren't involved in recruiting him the first go 'round? Webber and Ill. aren't exactly tearing up the Big 10, and if he can't get playing time there next year with Pruitt and Randal graduating why would we want him???

**wheels686** · 02-21-2008, 04:48 PM

My question is, is our staff even interested in him?

**cyismydog** · 02-21-2008, 04:51 PM

kg-cyclone? Any info?

**cyclonefan101** · 02-21-2008, 04:57 PM

I like guys who make good decisions and it looks like wouldn't like him at ISU, he made the decision not to drive when his friend was driving drunk, not a good decision another guy who didnt make good decisions got kicked off our team(ie Mike Taylor)

I hate it when people open their mouths or in this case type on their keyboard when they don't know what the hell they are talking about. You are outta your mind if you compare Brian Carlwell to Mike Taylor. Just a stupid and foolish comment

I would want a new start also....

**ISUChippewa** · 02-21-2008, 06:54 PM

Man, there are some amazing things written on here sometimes....

Let's just stay away from recruiting any kids who will even have the potential of being in trouble, even if they are just a passenger in a vehicle which gets into an accident. Let's go ahead and start recruiting in the church and rec leagues and start targeting the home-schooled kids as well.

**cycloneman003** · 02-21-2008, 08:05 PM

does anyone know if carlwell has any interest in ISU?? cuz we im sure there are tons of good players transfering that we could say "man would we be good if we had him" but they may not have the slightest interest in us
