I've got a source that tells me that

Shame on you, sir. You should know by now that news broken on FlameFans can only be disclosed through esoteric Byzantine codespeak.

So... isn't this thread, and the Jesse Sanders thread, about the same thing?

[Cider Jim]

Darn, Sly, I was hoping you were making a John Cheney reference as our new assistant coach.

don't forget the "next year's team" thread! This guy is so good, we need 3 threads to talk about him.

So, apparently one of our current signees isn't going to make it to the mountain. I'm guessing it's Lewis since this guy's a PG.

No one said that...

[LUconn]

true. But it's been implied.

Did I say someone did?

Sly said

this means nothing as far as turnover for our current players.

We were already short on scholly's and with another one added someone is not coming back.

[jcmanson]

The only thing is, that he already has signed a LOI. Don't we HAVE to honor it as long as he upholds his end of the bargain?

[LUconn]

yes. But what is his end of the bargain?

[flamesbball84]

armon jones is going to transfer. i can't remember if that was already in the mix...

[jcmanson]

yes. But what is his end of the bargain?

Doesn't get in trouble with law/makes his grades. Other than that, he still HAS to come here.

[jcmanson]

Thanks, but we already knew he wasn't going to be back.

[olldflame]

If it is mutually beneficial and agreed on by all parties, the LOI can be voided like almost any contract. More than likely one of our recruits has another option, and we think we are "upgrading" by signing Sanders, so he is released to sign with the other school. This would tend to "point" toward Lewis, but of course it's pure speculation.

[LUconn]

I guess a recruit could also decide he doesn't want to play basketball anymore.

[jmdickens]

we have 9 new players for next year, including Stephene....

I have said this for a month....

also don't forget Boyd

If 9 players includes Boyd and Sanders, one of our current signees isn't coming back.

[LUconn]

What is Boyd's deal? He doesn't count because he hasn't signed. If there's no thread about him, he doesn't exist.
