ISU announces Jordan Threloff will redshirt

[mtxe79]

probably is his bro -- who moved to Peoria and applied for the job 3 years after Will was already here....so you suggesting it's part of a payback for an obscure recruit who basically came to BU with no other offers??

Not implying anything. I see nothing wrong with it as long as he is qualified for the job and I am sure he is. My point is Dacoach made a statement without checking his facts. Ridiculed the poster for even saying it when the poster appears to be right. You can question that posters intention of the post if you want.

I am not going to get into the brother thing. But why does everyone keep saying Will had no other offers?

St. Mary's, Santa Clara, and Pacific all offered him.

Don't forget about Wisconsin.

Why do people say his brother was already in the Peoria area when Will made his college choice 4+ years ago?

Because people make mistakes shaun. I do, you do, even da coach does. Everyone does.

Where did you see an offer from Wisconsin for him?

I'm guessing that's what this article says. He could have been contemplating walking-on there, but I doubt it.

argue the minutia if you want, but the point still stands unchallenged...
there was nothing to hint BU needed to offer a job to WE's brother to land him... and BU may have been unopposed in regards to landing Will....

Here's one of many articles.... detailing the Egolf verbal to Bradley makes no mention whatsoever of even a single other offer..

http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/573457.html

and Will has his own page on scout.com and is discussed in several articles by writers who watched and evaluated Will in both California and Las Vegas, and none make mention of a single other offer...Rivals mentions the St. Mary's & Pacific...but Rival's complete and total lack of a single recruiting article or any coverage that ever mentions Will, makes their page more than a little suspect on accuracy..

The Rivals page that they call AlaskaPreps.com also has TEN different stories that mention Will while he was in HS, and again, none mention a single other offer BUT they DO mention the offer from Bradley!

So who really knows...but as I said....BU did not need to offer someone a job to beat out anyone and land WE...

I will man up and admit I was wrong. I must have lost interest in the second half. Now I would like to revisit your statement and I'll have to go off memory because things disappear here often, "That's ridiculous, Egolf's brother has never worked at Bradley" Ben Egolf Grants and Restricted Funds Analyst-Bradley Controller's Office Is this someone else? Sorry to change the subject but wanted to clarify.

Ben did not work for Bradley when he initially moved to Peoria. And when I made that post I did not know he now works at Bradley, which he didn't the last time I talked with him. So, even though this little "gotcha moment" is completely off topic here, I will admit I was wrong about him now working at Bradley.
However, I will maintain my original point, and tell me if you dispute this, that this fact that Will's brother works here is Peoria had absolutely nothing to do with Will's recruitment or his decision to come to Bradley.
Can the ISU people say the same thing about John Wilkins and his girlfriend?

Fair enough. Not really an issue worth anyone else's time. I have no personal knowledge of JW girlfriend. But I'm guessing a girlfriend, fiance, wife whatever is going to end up wherever her boyfriend is whether it's Normal, Bloomington IN, or Peoria.

His girlfriend doesn't go to ISU and she certainly doesn't work for ISU

She goes to Heartland. Did ISU get her into Heartland? She was an honor student at Southeastern CC.

Did anyone ever answer why on her Facebook page she says she is an ISU student?

The only thing I know about her is what I have read here and I refuse to do facebook.

Who knows. Maybe she couldn't get in and just hasn't updated it. Maybe eventually she plans on transferring there.

Do a people search yourself at ISU and you will see no listing of her:

Do alittle searching and you will see she has been plenty active at Heartland CC though.

The point remains though......if she isn't at ISU, where is the "package" deal? Surely she doesn't need ISU's help to get into Heartland!

[tornado]

then there's at least some evidence she was hopeful of being at ISU and that some effort MUST have been made to get her there, even if she's somewhere else now...so case proven...
