Wilkins?

[Disturbed]

Is he supposed to sign a letter of intent today?

[Big Mike]

I was told that a LOI signed today would be for the 2009 season!

[Disturbed]

That's what I wondered about. I guess there is no signed letter for the second semester of this year, and nothing obligating him to BU at this point.

[real fan]

It is for next season; Wilkens will not sign anything as he committed past the date.

[Big Mike]

I'm pretty sure all JW wants is to get enrolled and be a Brave!

Has there been any information recently about his eligibility and/or his chances to suit up second semester?

[Big Mike]

As far as I know they are still waiting on the ncaa clearinghouse?

[Da Coach]

That's what I hear.

One of the NLI (National Letter of Intent) provisions says...
(and I have cut and pasted...)

"No prospective student-athlete enrolling at midyear shall sign an NLI, with the
exception of midyear junior college transfer students in football, who must
graduate at midyear for this NLI to be valid."

I am surprised that there hasnt been anything posted yet on PJSTAR or on Bradley.EDU about receiving any LOI's yet. I know the last few years we have heard something during the day?

See my post in this thread, it may be they will hold the information back to announce at the gala banquet tonight.--

Sorry Da Coach, thats what I get for not reading the entire thread. If something is announced make sure you let us out of towners (out of country in my case) know.

I'm posting this again because of the mention in the pjs....http://www.pjstar.com/sports/x127580...-fits-the-bill

Act went well. GPA is good. Waiting on transcripts from high school. After he he is cleared he will enroll. When all this takes place it is unfair to think John will be the savior right away. It will take time to get into playing shape, get used to the system, and his teammates. When all this takes place it should be an uptick to the team. He was not a top 100 recruit because he was not exposed to the US until July of this year. He played his ball in Europe on a club team asee they do not have high school basketball teams. All kids play on these club teams. It would be safe to speculate John would have received a solid rating in this country if he would have played his high school ball here. The basis of this speculation is that he had received 51 offers from other programs in just 2 weeks of exposure this summer in his AAU experience. Some offers were from high end programs

Why would they not have had his transcipts ready and here by now? This concerns me considering the time they have had to take care of this?
