Unlike the Illini with Watson, Iowa can block Cook from going to a specific school. If they think Martin tampered they will block Mizzou. Then Gary Parrish and Jay Bilas will write articles roasting Fran and Cook will get a full release (i am not ready to admit it may be a possibility yet) teamarete likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it had more to do with quieting the noise around him for the near future than anything else. Mizzou fans are crazy when it comes to tweeting at players that are playing at another school or already signed at another school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFC Mizzou twitter is desperate. Gordon is still getting a barrage of Mizzou tweets every day. This isn't specific to Mizzou. They're definitely more aggressive than most other schools we go head-to-head on recruits with, though. Big Ten fans are bad, too, so Illinois fans can be pretty crazy. It's not that hard to resist the urge to tweet at a HS or college player in the hopes of recruiting them to your school. Take like 2 seconds to think about it, and you realize it's tacky and unhelpful. Sometimes I'll @ a player already on our roster (or committed/signed), and only if it's positive. Welcome to SLU, the future is bright, great performance tonight - things like that being the general message. But that's it. No adult should be out there pestering high school (or even college) kids on Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's akin to grown men wearing NHL or NFL jerseys with (or without) the number 69: have some self-respect, you just look creepy and desperate. Similar to you, I will send a "congrats" or "welcome" tweet but that is very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to ask for his release and even if Ford gives it to him he can limit the schools he can go to so why would Ford not say no to Missouri or IL or whatever if he thought those schools were on his list. Maybe these knuckleheads don't know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise_08 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Missouri-Columbia is such a sad, entitled school that has won nothing. Their claim to fame is having school of a dead profession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe these knuckleheads don't know this. I don't believe schools can restrict releases from NLIs. They can only restrict releases for players that have been on scholarship - which is where you get some of the bad PR that has happened to schools in the past.

The bad PR normally comes when a school blocks an entire conference or won't grant a release at all like Snyder as been known to do with K St. Football. It normally doesn't happen when it is one or two select schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeseman, as JMM said, a complete release from a letter of intent must be unconditional. (See #3.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is, he won't be treated like a recruit, sitting behind the bench, going into the locker room, etc I don't know that we need what he brings but it would make a nice recruiting class with HF and JG.

johnbj14 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 According to Roy Schmidt on Twitter, Mark Smith is transferring from Illinois. I'm taking it with a grain of salt until I see it elsewhere, but there seems to have been smoke around this for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
