Clock_Tower Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 If the spring signing period ends on May 21st, not much time left. Is anyone hearing anything at this point? I presume RM is still trying to land kids - 2 scholarships open. Any sightings of kids on campus? "Streets" have sure been quiet. For those in the know, is RM keeping things more quiet/less leaks than Brad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While a kid can't sign a binding letter of intent there is nothing to keep a kid from enrolling in school and showing up in August. I can't remember who but we recently had a player who verballed after the official signing period and just showed up. They can still apply for admittance.

STL Hoops Insider Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 The player you're referring to is likely Horace Dixon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember who but we recently had a player who verballed after the official signing period and just showed up. They can still apply for admittance. You're correct. Most kids, just like most schools, want a commitment now. If a kid subsequently makes grades/test scores or decides he want to play, etc., then fine. Got to believe that some schools are waiting for commitments. Just like we experience with JH and Kentucky, once this happened, then Kentucky's back-up plan commitment to school A. The kid who was back-up at school A, then commited to school B and so on. Just wondering if anyone is hearing anything. Details don't have to be given. At this point, just looking to see if we have a chance on anyone. Also, just wondering how much info some of the regulars are able to get from RM and his staff.

"The junior planned to return to Iowa City, Iowa, for his senior season, but was told by Hawkeye coach Todd Lickliter he wasn't in the plans for the future of the program.

I would be pissed off right now if I was an Iowa fan. ****edit**** didn't see Brian's response. We are thinking alike once again, should you be scared or should I?

The comments at the bottom of the article from the Southern are interesting. I have no idea if any of them know what they're talking about, but all claim that it was not Lickliter shoving him out of town but a mutual thing (not named captain, wouldn't fit in new system, etc.). There's no way of knowing how mutual any of these things are, and at the end of the day, looks like SIU got a nice player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be kind of like cutting TL because you all think KM will be a hell of a player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
