He has. I copy/pasted the 2010 scholarship chart that I put together last week at that spot. Forgot to take that part out. Thanks.

What is the Oliver situation?

[ckmace]

What is the speculation on Oliver at this point?

[kg-cyclone]

My guess...Oliver is transferring OR ISU will get a waiver for the NCAA for an extra scholarship...Either way, I expect his scholarship open.

Basically that he won't be on the team next season for one reason or another. Nothing is official yet though. I'm thinking that we'll learn something tomorrow or early next week.

Wow. I wasn't that sold on the Big 12 being a "guard league" as much as the Big 10 was last year until I just looked back at the stats: ISU and Texas Tech were the only schools whose PPG leader was not a guard, and on top of that ISU was the only Big 12 school to not have a Guard place 1st or 2nd on their team in PPG.

It would be nice to get a couple of the guards in the 2012 class (Staten, Gesell & Paige) along with Adam Woodbury. Combine that with Uthoff and ISU should be setting up nicely for the future on home grown talent.

CW...Any word on Bubu getting a scholarship?

what do you mean by a waiver for an extra scholarship? we have 3 open, so I guess I don't understand what you mean.

A waiver from the NCAA would make it 4...Total of 14. 13 is normal.

Not to be a spoil sport here, but until it doesn't happen, I think any predictions of the future assuming that all of our current players are going to be on the team is just not valid at this point. I truly hope that Hoiberg can right the ship in this department but it's been a problem for the past three coaches, so until he proves he can, predicting the roster years (or year) in the future is just pure guess work.

Paige is ok...though from what I saw of him...he was alot better as a freshman...though he did have better talent around him then...wasn't very aggressive..reminds me of a smaller DG in that he doesn't make alot of mistakes..though doesn't shine when he needs to.

Woodbury is all about upside...NEEDS to get more aggressive...playing against Ames DMcD schooled him in the post...and Woodbury has a 4 inch advantage on him...not good..he also needs to bulk up a bunch...He does have some good post moves but in college he'll need to refine them more.

Havent seen Gessell or Staten play...but from what I heard...talent wise it goes

1)Staten
2)Paige
3)Woodbury
4)Gessell

yes I know Woodbury is a PF/C while the rest are guards...but 3 and 4 could switch.
