Really? My wife had the Presidential Scholarship, and I don't remember the requirements being very much at all. That was, I have to admit, a long time ago. She has also been on the alumni committee that interviews the students. They have asked me a few times, but I think that one of the two of us doing it is enough. Perhaps they have added new duties that weren't in place in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOC Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 5 hours ago, bauman said: Lots of questions on this and/or other threads about open scholarships. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we have - as of this moment, 7 returning roster players : Yuri, Gibson, Terrence, Fred T (although not sure he is coming back), Traore, Francis O, and Javonte (hopefully). Add 3 committed newcomers. Placeholder for J Nezz (assuming we need to accept him back if he decides to do so. Not sure if we need to do this?). This leaves at least 2 open scholarships for the staff to go get. A decent size 4/5 spot player and a Combo PG/SG. Actually, the JN question brings up another point. When a player goes into the transfer portal do we need to hold their spot on the roster since they have not said they aren't coming back, just that they are looking at other options. I would hope that a player entering his name in the portal would relieve the school of any commitment to hold a spot for that player, but I'm not certain of that. Did JN enter the transfer portal? I missed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schasz Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Looks like with players leaving the Bills via the portal and NBA trials, and the still not determined Perkins staying or leaving decision Travis Ford should have additions to make to the 2022-23 roster. One would hope that he will add at least a big and another guard. Be interesting to see who he brings into next years mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would feel too good to be true i will say that malachi smith would fit the request for a combo guard that could spell yuri at the point. for those that dont know it, he was ej liddell's point guard ej's junior year at belleville west when west won the illinois state championship the first time.

DOC Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I agree. He might be the best reasonable name mentioned and would fill a definite need… and he can play defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Malachi Smith would be a home run. Will be a long list of suitors for him if he enters the portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I just don't see Malachi coming here tbh. Unlike a Jones, its not like this will be his chance to play on a march madness team. And he'll see a reduction in minutes from his 2022 year. I could see him getting close to 20 MPG, but thats still 15 less than what he saw this year.

I would go as far as to say he’d be a top 5-10 player in the A10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Parkers minutes would come from Gibson and Perkins, and less from the CG position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
