with the kid from NWCHS not going to ISU, Dan will use that scholarship on a player on the team now. easy call. Most likely will repeat the same action again with one of the other signers not making admittance requirments and going one year juco with a promise of a ride after making admittance requirements to ISU.

I didn't know that Francis Okoro was considering Illinois State :think:

If there are only two players in town it should be easy to remember what schools they go to. But I guess that is asking too much from you.

I love that Mark reads 1/8th of the ISU news and just goes wild with it like it is hard fact.

Like an archaeologist that finds one leg bone and nothing else then decides the dinosaur it belonged to had 3 heads and a big horn sticking out of its head.

That wasn't a horn.

Is anybody else expected to leave?

I feel like this question comes up like every three or four pages in this thread. To sum the rumors on this board; Romine is gone and Williams may be done with basketball due to chronic knee pain.

Disclaimer: not my information, just what I've read on here.

Apparently that is why Dan is still looking for a post player. Even if Fayne stays healthy we can't depend on 1 incoming freshman to play heavy minutes.

I am told from a good source the roster will work itself out in the next 2 weeks. ISU is unable to announce the changes now. I am not sure why, but I am going with that for now.

Well, in two weeks is the end of the semester. Thus, I would interpret that to means, someone may have grade issues - just waiting for the University to post final grades.
