Wow. This is shocking...

[Da Coach]

Though the guard spots will have more competetion next year, I know the coaches liked TCS and were OK with him staying for his senior season as long as he accepted that he had to work harder for playing time.
But maybe this is better for him, to find somewhere he can play more.
Ty is a great kid, and everyone liked him.
I wish him the best of luck.

Seems best for everyone that TCS went his own way.

Good luck to TCS in whatever he does.

Do we go ahead and fill his spot with someone new? Or, if Thornton stays, does he get the ride for the one season?

i really liked cole-scott but i think we can work this to our advantage for the 09-10 season. maybe get a juco big who can seriously contribute as a senior when we lose all our other senior bigs.

Makes a little more sense that we were going guard-crazy. Somebody knew what was happening...

Good luck, TCS, whatever it is you're going to be going.

And that brings some excitement back to the recruiting front

RT is not going to get the schlorship.

I was wondering when this was going to become official. TCS is a nice kid but I just don't think he was ready for Div. I. Hopefully he finds somewhere he can be successful for his senior season.

As for the scholarship, I don't really expect them to bring anyone else in, but I wouldn't rule it out either. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

please dont get a guard...(unless jeremy crouch has a brother)

[Stryker]

I was pretty sure this was going to happen. Do we have any other big recruits for 08 yet?

Why not? With an unproven inside game, I'd have to think that another guy wouldn't hurt anything. There's already going to be a bunch of scholarship to give the following year, so banking one doesn't help much.

Best of luck to TCS-sorry it did not work out at BU.

I do hope we can use this for a 2008 recruit.

Another disturbing point-we were "scooped" on a BU story by DUBulldog (no disrespect really DUBulldog). Geez.

Unless there is a great player out there to be had...why not give RT the schoolie for a season and see how he fits in? What is there to lose? Could be a nice surprise......

maybe...but it doesn't add up...

If JL knew TCS was leaving before this, then why had he stopped nearly 100% of the recruiting efforts, and why had he not signed another player like ISU did when they knew one of their scholarships was opening up.

If TCS knew before this that he was leaving, then he would have needed JL's help to get it known and find another program, and clearly that was and is NOT the case prior to now.

I think this is a new decision and different than what was both JL's and TCS' plan even a couple weeks ago.
