The Isaac Copeland watch

[Huskerpapa]

Ran across this article and thought I would start this thread as a time clock to hearing about Isaac's eligibility question.  Looks like Ben Carter from MSU just received good news.  I would like the good news to keep flowing.

Which is why I can't buy into the hype train and the poo poo-ing of Ed and Jacobson's departure.

 

Copeland is an NBA level talent...but we are depending on his health and the NCAA to grant the exception otherwise we are in a lot of trouble in the non-con.   And when was the last time Husker hoops caught a break.

Looks like this is just a copy of Lee Barfknecht's article which appeared in today's World Herald.

Didnt we just sign a kid over KU?

Maybe our luck will finally change

I guess I don't view that as much of a break.   We did a great job recruiting him over a long period of time and built the relationship with him.   By break, I mean relying on something we can't really control....we controlled how we recruited him.

The Isaac Copeland watch is pretty neat.  However, I really like the Isaac Copeland decanter set.

We didn't have any control over his decision though.  If this isn't a "break" than would losing Hans or any other recruit be a "bad break?"

I guess I don't view recruiting outcomes (ours, or other teams) as breaks...for better or for worse.

 

You can't control the decision, but you can control the effort, actions and approach leading to the decision.

I think he was either at home or at school when he signed the LOI.  I do have it on good authority that SE has allocated money for drones to permeate the skies over Lawrence.

Makes sense

How many Wheaties box tops are required to get the Isaac Copeland watch? I have my stamped, self-addressed envelope all ready to mail!

An update thanks to the Lincoln Journal Star.  A few of the highlights:

*  Still have not filed the paperwork on Copeland....WHAT???  They want to make sure it is done right.

*  There is an inference that there are no academic issues...if you read between the lines.

*  Happy with current roster, but door is still open

*  APR is the best it has been since this staff arrived

*  Nothing set on schedule and nothing new on staff.

This seems troubling.  If I'm filling out a starting 5 for the season, at this point I'm not putting Copeland in it.

[thriller]

Very troubling!! With all the "administrators" and bureaucracy in the AD right now, there should be plenty of people to get this finished in a more timely manner.

[TourneyBound]

makes no sense to me why the paperwork hasn't been filed............  very odd

[colhusker]

I really don't trust a damn soul in the Administrative Department to get anything done.  This should have been filed a long long time ago.

Hard to get to details like this when you're busy saving the whales and preserving the rain forests.

That must be a lot of rain. What are whales doing in the rain forests?

If the paperwork hasn't been filed then there is a damn good reason.  If this was paper pushers being lazy and just not doing it - then Miles foot would be knee deep in someone's ass and it would have been done a month ago. There is more to it.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Given admin's atrocious history with filing paperwork correctly, I have zero problem with ultimate caution in this case.  There is plenty of time before the season starts.  

[hhcmatt]

Someone talk to someone in compliance and get the skinny.  PM me if you'd like me to post.

Would think there is a reason for delay as I doubt "Oops we forgot" was it.
