I honestly have no clue.
Re: Pomlee Dismissed: Official Release
Damn, too bad. I was looking forward him giving us some depth in the front court next year.

Yeah he had potential to play 5 minutes a game by the time he was a senior.

Wasn't he a risk for this type of thing when he was recruited?

IIRC, Pomlee's only risk was he had blood clots in his legs that could have been a health issue. I don't recall any other baggage of any sorts.

And I think Thuggins at WVU recruited him, too, so that would support this thought.

He was posting because it's the official release.
Re: Pomlee Dismissed: Official Release
I was wondering if something wasn't going on with LA. Alex Dorr a true freshman, walkon seemed to be getting playing before him, a RS Freshman on scholie. Frankly, Dorr hasn't looked too bad but depth next year is really gonna be a problem. Man, wonder if there are any quality JC players we could still get for next year.

Didnt he have trouble getting the grades to get into college. That was the rumored reason other schools backed off and why he signed with ISU so late.

Does this open up a scholarship?

Yes. I bet it is already spoken for though.
