brianstl Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 According to the guy from powermizzou.com Rodney Alexander has told the tigers he is not intrested in them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Have you heard if that means a definite commit to SLU? Next Weds. National signing date is upon us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have not heard anything else besides that he is no longer intrested in MU. A week ago they thought they basically had the kid locked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 He will probably not sign till after the signing date. He has a visit scheduled for UT on April 13. "One of the nation’s top junior college forwards, Rodney Alexander, is set to visit Knoxville on April 13th. He is listed at 6-7, 225 and has already visited Butler, Saint Louis, Illinois and Indiana. Alexander is the only visit that Tennessee has scheduled at this point."

slufanskip Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 There is only 1 UT, and it's not Tennessee. Official Billikens.com sponsor of H Waldman Official Sponser of the Stemmler and Ahearn could and would have helped club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Actually the people who have posted on here a while know that I grew up a huge, huge Sooner fan. Spent most of my childhood at odds with my family over it who are all bigger UT fans than Roy is a Billiken fan. At my Dad's memorial we all wore Burnt Orange UT shirts and played the Eyes of Texas at the end. Even my Dad's best frien who is a proffessor at A&M held up his hand with the Longhorn sign at the end. In recent years though, as a fan I have tired of the constant shenanagins at OU. Just too much cheating over and over. Official Billikens.com sponsor of H Waldman Official Sponser of the Stemmler and Ahearn could and would have helped club.

brianstl Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 If anybody is calling for Mike Anderson's head for not locking up this kid. I have got to give Brad credit for hanging in there with the big boys on this kid so for. He needs to close the deal on at least to of these jocus or the spring period will be a bust no matter how good Michell and Relephorde(sp) turn out. This team needs immediate help.

Schasz Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I don't know Brian the SLU fan in me is pretty worried that Bruce Pearl gets his crack at the kid this weekend. Unlike Coach Soderberg...I think he has a better track record of closing. All one needs to do is look at the stable of athletes he has ammassed in his short tenure as Vols HC.

Anderson used the only available scholarship on 3 star recruit Justin Safford. There are rumors that a scholarship, could open up and be used but nothing definitive. Just rumors that Horton and Dandridge might transfer for their last season. But if that doesnt happen and Lawrence doesnt go back on academic which is unlikely, Anderson and Mizzou dont have any scholarships open.

cheeseman Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I find it odd that two players would consider transfering for their last year - why sit a year to play one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTIME Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 It's believed that they Anderson would release them fully and they would allowed to play without sitting out. Is that possible. Anderson just wants the scholarship to get the kinds of players that fit his system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 once a player has played at a school and decides to transfer he must sit out a year. Its different for recruits that back out of the LOI because the coach changed schools. So with that being said, make no doubt about it, if Horton or Dandridge leave MU its likely because they were effectively forced out. Transfers before senior years are very rare.

kshoe Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 "If anybody is calling for Mike Anderson's head for not locking up this kid." If Mike Anderson had as little success recruiting over the last 5 years as Brad has had maybe it would be a little different. But what he did last year after taking the Mizzou job in getting Stephon Hannah and keeping Keon Lawrence is reason enough to believe his recruiting will be just fine. "I have got to give Brad credit for hanging in there with the big boys on this kid so for." Do you have any real information that says we are even still being considered?

NashvilleBilliken Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 LOL! Do you have information that we aren't? We're still on the kids list, I think most people consider that a yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfers before senior years are >very rare. Its not that rare. Happens every year, even last year with Marco Killingworth to Indiana. James Douglas transferred from Mizzou last year after his junior year. Can't a school release you and let you play right away with NCAA approval. Isnt that what happened with all Baylor kids after the Dennehy tragedy? All those transfers were able to play right away at their new schools and made the NBA. Kind of makes you wonder how good Baylor would've been had they stayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 The Baylor tragedy was a special circumstance. James Douglas was told to leave MU and I'm pretty sure he didn't go to another D1 school. Marco Killingsworth did not appear to play last season because he had to sit out... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=5557 If you can show me a single example of a junior transferring to another school and not having to sit out (besides very special circumstances such as Baylor) I'd be shocked. Occasionally there are juniors that choose to transfer and sit out a year but those are few and far between. Again, if Horton or Dandridge leave it likely won't be on their own accord.

Billikan Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 The simple answer is no. If a player transfers after he has played for a school he must sit out a year. If not, you would see hundreds of players switching schools every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Killingsworth sat out a year at IU. a 3rd year player can graduate, transfer, and play immediately, like the kid at UNLV this year. other than that, only very special circumstances, which is case by case, as in Baylor. another subject: what if Pullen and Sutton wanted together to come here, to St. Louis U.?? just a fantasy, probably. I wonder if Coach S. would bite? we could use a top 100, still growing rebonunding machine like Sutton. and with a 5th scholley we could still sign MG, or one of the other bigs.

kshoe Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 We are still on the kid's list? Show me a statement by the kid that says we are still on his list. That is what I was asking. The articles linked in this thread said nothing of the sort. they just said we offered in the fall and he visited in the fall. Some list that is on Rivals or something that likely hasn't been updated in 6 months does not count... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
