It would actually not be very difficult to open up scholarships/roster spots for both of them.

flamehunter wrote:That is true for football due to the "Bear Bryant rule" It does not generally apply to other sports if the scholarship is available to all qualified students and has nothing to do with their athletic prowess. Dominique Jones and both of Layer's sons got free tuition as employee's children and did not count against our basketball scholarship limit. Jay would have been in the same catagory. Scotty James, who's mother is a professor at Liberty is still counting for us (Pending a proposed rule change) because he was a scholarship player at Bradley before transferring.SumItUp wrote:Yeah I thought that if a player was on a team with any scholarship (even if a non-athletic scholarship) still counted toward the total.

How else do you justify giving a scholarship to a player who did not need it because his tuition would have been paid as the child of an employee while another player who had a scholarship offer going back to the summer after his FR year of HS (Newton) was going to have to settle for a preferred walk on spot until another schollie opened up when Reid transferred.No correlation. The changes that were made were not known. It was a surprise.

I knew about it and knew who was going to replace him. before it was announced. (I didn't get my info from one source, it was putting some info together from several places and putting two and two together). LU was vetting McCaw for at least a year before the change was made. JB was working without a contract for some time before the change was made, I can't imagine him having a good feeling about the future.

Dallas and Charlotte are no-brainers. The other locations may be AAU event sites. Lawrence and Orlando are "intriguing".

We have just offered Kristian Sjolund, a 6'8" Norwegian SF who is playing HS ball in Katy, TX. He is rated 4 stars by both Scout and ESPN. Lights out shooter with very deep range.He is a good player and in a way I don't blame McKay and the coaches for giving out this offer. In my opinion, I sort of seeing Kyler staying close to home. I know his dad is an alumni and all, but Kyler looks like a kid who would want to near to family and friends. In the end I hope Kyler makes the best decision and it would be nice to have either of these guys.
