Not a fan of over recruiting. Seems like we're awfully quick to give up on kids instead of developing them over time. Must be my age.Where oh where is our T. Boone Pickens.Comment

It appears to me that many of these offers are not open-ended without any contingencies. They seem to be offers that are subject to the school having a scholarship available and having a right of refusal if the player says he wants to commit.
Perhaps 3G is just trying to have some insurance policies in place in case of some unanticipated transfers (i.e. Austin Reaves). Then again perhaps he does intend to push a player or two out the door. It is hard to say. 3G is making these decisions with a whole lot more information than we fans have.
Also keep in mind the 3G does have a Pig in the Python class balance issue that many on ShockerNet have been expressing concern about.Comment

So you think this scholarship offer is recruiting over a player in the program? Are you sure or are you jumping to conclusions? Weren't you also concerned about over recruiting in the past (including this past fall)? This is before Chance Moore left the program. Isn't there a possibility that Gregg Marshall knew that one of his 13 scholarship players would decide that being patient for playing time for a year or more (as the 11th-13th player on the bench, while the development took place) would greatly increase the odds they would leave? Chance didn't appear to be a strong bench player to me, he had no local ties that would attract him to stay through the time of adversity, and there are probably other reasons that I didn't mention. Another example is early in the year, Poor Bear didn't appear to be into sitting on the bench and helping his teammates while being there (After a short while the light for PB seemed to turn on and he became more supportive but who know s what was going on in his life during that time). There are many other possibilities for players leaving the program that one won't see ahead of time. Personal reasons (Payton Allen comes to mind), injuries, home sickness (some players like the program but they are so far from home they decide they would rather not stay during losing, injuries, academic problems, etc.), and various other reasons come into play. Don't jump to conclusions and wear yourself out. I would imagine that with this many freshmen players that there is a lot we don't know at this time that is happening in their minds that may or may not have to do with basketball.Originally posted by wusphlash View PostComment

Or one of our incoming guards has an issueComment

Or Evan Wessel is giving up his scholarship."Cotton scared me - I left him alone." - B4MSU (Bear Nation poster) in reference to heckling playersComment

Tony says he's taking a visit to Wichita "next weekend," so perhaps the Temple game on Sunday? I would assume it'll be an official visit.
Gregg potentially looking for another point guard to me doesn't scream that Torres' scholarship is in limbo for next season. Could be that GM is thinking we've got a good setup at forward and center and he just needs to find that elite point guard. Even if a forward or center ends up leaving, JE, MU, and Pooh have us setup decently well for years to come.
I think Fernandes is a true point. I believe Etienne will be more of an off-guard.

I’d say there is a decent change Midtgaard isn’t back next season.Comment
