Bobo gets his release

[Guest]

Bobo Drummond has asked for and recieved his release from SIU...knew this was coming

[tornado]

you are always ahead of the curve and we appreciate your insight - and I kinda hope he checks out the prospects of playing in front of his hometown fans!

...do you know his interest level, gerry??

I mean - if he wanted to play here it would really suck if we missed on him.
(..see, "suck" is not censored)

Bobo's size may keep some of the big schools away. But he is as good a true point guard as there is in the class of 2012. I hope we do have a shot at him.

Bradley is interested in Bobo Drummond, and he has been on campus already on his own scrimmaging with players. This is not an NCAA violation, because he was not invited and had no contact with coaches while he was under the NLI.
If Fields doesn't accept Bradley's offer, and scholarships remain available, Bobo will be making another visit soon to meet with coaches.

[Old Coach]

I wouldn't hate bringing in two point guards since they wouldn't be in the same class, and many have suggested that Bell is more of a combo guard anyway.

[Da Coach]

That appears to be the philosophy of Coach Ford.

I am surprised they granted him a release without a block on him going to another MVC school?

I agree with the Bell being a combo guard. But why wouldn't they be in the same class? I think Bobo, Bell and Fields would all be the same year eligibilty wise after Fields transfer year wouldn't they?

I believe it's different in Bobo's case since he was only an LOI and never an enrolled student. This is a similar situation to Remy Abell.

I'd look at Bell as a combo, not so much a point. But I've never actually seen him play, so thats just what I've heard

And we've definitely had worse problems than "too many point guards..."

SIU freshman Treg Setty is also looking to leave and transfer

So in the case that we get Fields and Drummond, we are passing on Stainbrook, correct? I think we need to focus on getting just 1 of these guys, unless Bobo adds some scoring punch too.

If we end up with Bobo and KB, I'd hate to see Walt playing the point for ANY time.

My bad. You're right, all 3 would be sophs in 2013.

I think he is passing on us is the murmer.
