More trouble in Carbondale

[RoyalShock]

Torres Roundtree (FR) and Christian Cornelius (JR) leaving the Salukis.

Two more Lowery recruits that didn't stick around. Both were getting 10+ minutes a game this year but only accounted for 3.8 ppg.


22 pages on SalukiTalk since last night.

wow wasnt roundtree one of their prized recruits last year

[RoyalShock]

Yep. And he was a HS teammate of one of their other highly-touted freshmen, Anthony Booker.

It sounds like Cornelius already has a degree and was playing on surgically repaired knees. I suspect his body was telling him to quit. Roundtree says he didn't fit into the offense and according to SalukiTalk had some off-court issues.

The pattern of Lowery not keeping his recruits is getting more defined.

SIU is a solid bet for last right now.

They aren't any better (of a bet) than us or ISU imho.....we have to learn to win sometime.

SIU is a solid bet for last right now.

They only accounted for 4 points a game, I don't think losing that locks them in for last place. I'm sure they'll still beat us at least once.

I love it!

All basketball players are not suited to play by 'Rugby' rules on the court.

Wrong. All Australian basketball players are more than ready to play by rugby rules. ;-)

How does this impact SIU's Academic Progress Rate (APR)? http://www.ncaa.org/wps/ncaa?ContentID=276

I believe as long as they still graduate in 5 it doesn't have an effect anymore. I think that's the rule now, but it could just be something that was talked about a couple years ago.
