Wednesday Signing Day

Is Mr X a reference to a 24 character last name? He'll have the widest jersey in BU history

If he could fill out a jersey with a 24 character last name I'd take him even if he only had 9 characters.

When was the last time we didn't use one for an entire year?

Actually a couple of times recently. Danny Adams, Ryan Phillips have both received scholarships at times because we hadn't used them...

[Heemeskerk]

Yeah, I like "Lemon" better, too.

I like "Lemon aide" personally. Lets hope Lemon turns into Lemon aide..

[KillerB]

Lemon is scheduled to play in an All-Star game tonight at SLU.
I can't go. I don't know if any one else in the St. Louis area might be able to swing by and give us a report...

[real fan]

I like that thinking mrcoachdude.
I also think this might be the year to consider a transfer with the final scholarship. There are already a lot of decent players transferring, and more to come as the school year winds down.

With all the returning players we would be better off looking at one of the elite transfers .

Cause kinda like saying Ruff is cooler than saying DR, saying Lemon is cooler than WL. I mean Lemon is just too cool a name not to use.

will he pick up the nickname "Juice"?

[mexicobufan]

Would love to hear how lemon does in the game tonight if anyone gets any info?

What I DON"T GET IT.

Here's an interesting comment and I think it applies to the possibility of John Wilkins signing with Indiana...

On his radio show, Dan Patrick (used to be with ESPN) apparently said that if Indiana has a couple more bad years and things don't
"work out" for Tom Crean, that Indiana will go after and hire Butler's Brad Stevens...
It doesn't sound too far fetched considering some of the IU fans actually would love to dump Crean and go after Stevens now...

Of the four schools, IU, Iowa St, Bradley, and Ill St ... Indiana is the last school JW should attend if he wants to win games.

So let me get this straight. Wednesday (or the next day as well) should be the days that we sign whomever we need to get for next year? Therefore we should know for sure who's coming in next year?

Not necessarily. In a perfect world yes, but since when has anything been perfect. I hope JW does make his choice by then and if not I'd bet a ransom he is then waiting for someone else and we would be playing backup.

The period for signing a National Letter of Intent runs from wednesday, April 14 through Wednesday, May 19.

A few years ago, recruits would mail in their signed LOI's, so it would take several days to hear about them. But for the past decade or so with faxing being widely available, most LOI's are received the first day of the signing period. But recruiting can continue after that date, and signings can occur up the last day of the signing period (May 19).
Also, players can still commit after that date (Taylor Brown commmitted in June, 200 but the NLI is no longer valid.

Thanks! That explains a lot.

How many players do we expect to sign, and just about everybody in town seems to know about a supposedly secret recruit.
