I'm glad to hear Leslie is staying, even if it means NC State is the favorite in the ACC.

Yes, most people do like to hear about other programs, especially when it is done in a logical and rational manner. There is a reason you are the most ignored poster on this board.

“The other thing that has to be foremost here is student welfare. It is a free country. Although the conference has an interest in putting sound limitations on it, we should never forget that the welfare of the young people is what this is about.”
Here is the quote from the person representing Wisconsin in the Brust case. Foremost is student welfare. I guess it doesnt mean when a student is wanting to transfer out of Wisconsin. Then student welfare doesnt matter. Bo Ryan should should be concerned with student welfare, shouldnt he? Last edited by tarcone : 04-18-2012 at 03:55 PM. |

Just saw that Mizzou has booked a home-and-home against UCLA. Will play at Pauley this fall with a return trip to Columbia next year.

Came to post this. Small chance Missouri could open Pauley Pavilion and while it's not a bad opponent for that, I would assume UCLA would at least try to schedule someone more important historically to UCLA. |

Tarcone, Jarrod Uthoff, Wisconsin Badgers at odds over potential transfer - ESPN
How do you feel about Uthoff's situation now? Naive kid. Hasn't even talked to Bo about the situation yet. Lied about dropping off the papers himself to Bo; instead a 'friend' supposedly did. I'll give Bo the benefit of the doubt at the moment. As I mentioned, Uthoff seems to be listening to his AAU handler way too much and seems a bit lost in this situation. Funny how every media person was bagging on Bo right away when nothing was really truly known. Hearsay. Finally it sounds like they'll sit down tomorrow and discuss this out man-to-boy. I'll stand by Bo on his restrictions to the B10, Marquette and ISU; but the ACC seems a bit of a stretch. Last edited by mauchow : 04-18-2012 at 10:06 PM. |

How in the world did you get that from what I wrote? Do you honestly think for the opening of Pauley, that Missouri is a relevant historical connection? UCLA will either go for bad local team or one that means something to UCLA and their tradition. Missouri meets neither of those requirements Purdue makes a lot of sense for the Wooden connections. Ohio State opened Pauley initially. Louisville as well. Or you could go with Duke, Dayton, Michigan, North Carolina, Jacksonville, Villanova, Florida State, Kentucky, and even Arkansas Last edited by MrBug708 : 04-19-2012 at 11:13 AM. |

I dont know. It seems hypocritical for Ryan to pull this. Iowa State? Because they are on the schedule? He is denying a student the ability to receive a scholarship from a home state school because they play them? We dont know the ins and outs. And we know how sleazy coaches are in general. Who is telling the truth? Either of them? Neither of them? I keep going back to this quote: “The other thing that has to be foremost here is student welfare. It is a free country. Although the conference has an interest in putting sound limitations on it, we should never forget that the welfare of the young people is what this is about.” Ryan is showing his a** in this one. Maybe Uthoff is naive, but he is 19. Maybe he hasnt handled it very well. But, as you said, he is a boy. And he is dealing with a man that has his million dollar job on the line based on wins and losses. Ryan will come out of this looking bad. As he should. He is showing he cares nothing about his players. Florida? Because they play a home and home with them? Come on. Wisconsin will lose this even if they win. Its a no win and Ryan using the line. "There are rules of a scholarship. I dont make them up." is weak. I hope Uthoff tells Ryan to f off, and pays his own way for a year and then makes Ryan pay when he plays Wisky. |

Mike Golic: You started the process by blocking him from all these schools. For whatever reason, he doesn't want to go (to Wisconsin) anymore. People are thinking because you blocked him from so many schools, it's a vindictive thing on your part. Why is it so hard for a coach to say, 'You know, it isn't working out here, you go where you want to play.'
Ryan: You play, you're an athlete, you practice every day. Your players, your coaches work with someone in good faith. You're in the trenches and you're going to say, without any conversation, any time someone wants to leave a job, you have in your contract – a penalty if you leave your job. Mike Greenberg: Yeah. there's a penalty because you get paid. Ryan: I understand this is a scholarship. When they sign the scholarship there is fine print that is very readable. If you played, you would at least understand what I'm talking about. ... Years and decades of coaches have done the same thing way before me and you're not going after them. Golic: It's also interesting the basketball and football coaches can sign a seven-year extension and then the next year leave for one of those schools you blocked the kid from going to Ryan: I know that's the easy way to go. Here's the thing, I didn't create the market. |

All I know about this is what I've read in the thread, but why would you want a guy on your team who wants out so publicly at this point, anyway? Especially at a school like Wisconsin which from what I understand is about team play and not really having any stars?

I think these coaches would end up looking better if they just said "Yeah I'm doing this, I have my reasons, and I don't care what you think of it."
The rationalizing and trying to justify is always what makes it worse. |

Why is Ryan's entire defense sound like his stance is that NO transfers should be allowed (the whole "you work with the kid, he's part of the team, in the trenches, etc"), not that he should have the ability to restrict certain destinations?

Who cares what the motives of the kid are? Okay, so the kid is being a dick. That doesn't mean Ryan has to go 5th grade on him and treat him this way. He should be the bigger man and let the kid go where he wants.

Speaking of B10 transfers, anyone know much about Jordan Sibert? Mizzou and Arizona are considering him. Doesn't look like he's produced thus far at OSU, but was a top 50 recruit out of HS.

He had a knee surgery in High School that changed his athleticism quite a bit. He had the reputation as a defensive stopper and a good outside shooter but he also played on loaded AAU teams (with Sullinger, Burke, etc.) and was overrated. He hasn't shown a lot but he had a couple of decent shooting games against the zone - maybe Northwestern but I don't remember for sure. He started out as the 6th man this year and was passed by a younger player, Sam Thompson, who is a much better defender and an unreal athlete. I'd be very surprised if he didn't end up at Dayton. |

Bo Ryan took a beating on this. As did Wisky. The way he played would be labeled poorly. And his reputation has suffered.
It looks like Iowa State will be the landing spot for Uthoff. Unless he really wants to play for another B1G school. Then he still has to go through an appeal process to get a scholly or go to a school and pay his way for the season he has to sit out. |

One of the national writers brought Beilein into the transfer issue today because of the three we had this year. His rule is pretty straight forward; no Big Ten schools and no schools already scheduled within the next two years. Even Smotrycz was allowed to go to Maryland with no fuss despite the fact we could meet Maryland in two years in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
I think that is a fair ruling on his part. |

Have not heard much about this yet, but could change some things in regards to qualifying for college. Academic redshirts is the topic.......

Does an academic redshirt then count as the redshirt being used? Or could a player have an academic redshirt, then a normal redshirt I wonder? Ultimately, though, I suspect this is going to end up in high school teachers being pressured more and more to give athletes better grades to keep them college-eligible.

College Basketball should take the approach of College Baseball. If you don't go pro out of high school, you spend at least 3 years in college. They would have to get the NBA on board as well, but it seems to work pretty well for baseball.

This would do a lot to improve the college game, IMO. Although what would happen under this system, if say, a kid declared for the draft out of high school and didn't get picked? If he entered a college then, would he be subject to the three years and be eligible to re-enter the draft after that? Or let's say it's too late for him to catch on with a school at that point and he becomes a part of the next year's recruiting class. Does he still need to be three years or is it two given that it's already been one year since he's been in high school? Do junior colleges count towards the two years in college requirement?

I think the NBA should adopt the same rules as the NFL. You have to be a junior to enter the draft. I don't like the baseball example because the entire development system for the players is different. A basketball player drafted out of HS doesn't have a minor league system to develop in. I don't think you can count the NBDL.
Until the NBA feels like drafting 1 year players impacts the quality of their game, I don't see this changing.

I'm pretty sure there has been talk of changing it to at least 2 years if not three but they can't do anything until a new deal comes up.

It was 20 years ago when I dealt with it, but from what I remember, you didn't lose your college eligibility until you signed a contract. Just the act of being drafted didn't preclude you from still playing college ball.

Actually, isn't the NFL just three years out of high school, not necessarily junior status? Agreed that baseball isn't a good parallel to basketball. Not least because baseball has so many rounds in the draft, compared to basketball, which has just 2. I wonder if you'd see more American players going to Europe after high school if the three years of college or 3 years of college + declaring out of high school rule were adopted.
