BASKETBALL RECRUITING: Norvel Pelle to officially visit
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Thanks to you, and whoever offered the "fify". Not terribly sharp tonight. About to go home and be seriously ill, I'm pretty sure.
Not sure that you can pull a scholly from a player,a dn keep him on the team, as far as roster limits. Once he's a recruited player, he's still a recruited player. I could be wrong about that.
Just curious--why is everyone so set on running Railey's life for him?
That's entirely aside from the fact that there's been plenty of attrition every year, without "encouraging" somone to depart.
It goes from year-to-year. All I'm saying is that if he wants to play, he should go somewhere else. I don't dislike him or think he's bad. I just think the players we have along with the recruits coming in, it would be in his best interest to leave. Don't know how you can disagree with that.
Okay well give him the slight boot outta town. If anyone thinks it is in his best interest to stay here I'll take two of whatever drugs they are taking.
Thats what I thought too. Scholarships are renewed annually, not given out for four years at a time...right?
Why? I think Bobby Frasor went off scholarship so UNC could use it on someone else.
It doesn't have to be one extreme or the other. Railey may have already decided that HE is interested in transferring in order to get more PT
Evidently CBS Sports writer Jeff Goodman said in mid-December that it appeared Pelle would commit to UNLV and make it official in January. Later in the week, he changed it to "favors." It appears that he's been close to going to St. Johns, SDSU, and UNLV. Now, a lot of sources I'm reading from say he hates practicing basketball and hates doing homework. I can understand the latter of the two. But I think Fred can really change his mindset if his attitude is that bad.

You can give up your scholarship.

Doubt it. If a kid hates going homework he will always it. Fred has no pep talks for that. Should just play oversees and skip college if this is true.
I love seeing that Fred is continuing to get great talent looking at Iowa State...
... but put me in the group that gets disapointed with other fans who immediately start throwing out names of our current players that will get replaced by this "recruit who is just CONSIDERING Iowa State".
It's not our job as fans to determine which of players at Iowa State are good enough to continue to play for us. That's Fred's job. We have no clue what his plan's are for Railey or Sledge (a Freshman none the less). Maybe he's got big plans on how to use those guys in future years.
Even if he doesn't, you don't see Fred coming onto the message boards talking about which players he wants to leave his program. That kind of stuff should be handled between Fred and the players. I don't think we need to help Fred do his job by trying to "drive off" some of his current players by showing them what you think of their talent level from the few minutes you've seen them play.
My job as a fan is to cheer for the guys we've got who are putting in work to help OUR team reach success.
Go ahead and get excited about the possibility of brining in great talent... but unless you don't like hearing the players comment about how we've got the best fans in the nation... there's no point in us stating which players we think need to leave our team.
By the way... I'm not calling out anyone in particular in this thread, so even if you were somewhat critical of some of our players, I'm not saying you can't do that. I'm just stating a general feeling/opinion that I have.
