FredsSlacks Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 it doesn't seem like tai is leaving. if he was, i doubt he would be doing workouts with Tarin. Quote
BjoeHusker Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Hammonds with a year under his belt may blossom and be that supporting guy. He really could have used a RS. It makes me wonder why he wasn't redshirted. One reason could be that Miles doesn't want to have him on scholarship for 5 years. Perhaps Miles believes that role / spot players shouldn't take up a scholarship for 5 years. I agree. Looks like Hammond only played a total of 36 minutes this season. Clearly he needs to put on some weight. Quote

jimmykc Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Viz. Hammond situation: It may be helpful to remember Kaminsky was a three star Rivals recruit who averaged 1.8 ppg in his freshman year and 4.5 his soph year and seemed to do fairly well without the benefit of a redshirt. So it is not inconceivable for a tall player with the right mind set to develop exponentially while in college. AuroranHusker 1 Quote
Fullbacksympathy Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Hammond got a bad rap this year. I saw nothing but capable when I watched him play. He's a good defender, athletic, solid IQ, high motor, etc. He just needs another 15lbs. That's it. Contributing anything as a true frosh big is pretty rare. huskerball0741, Silverbacked1 and throwback 3 Quote

If we land Michael Edwards out of Michigan, it's going to be the same thing. Anyone who is 6'9"+ and ready to go as a freshman is a rarity and probably a 4+ star kid. Silverbacked1 1 Quote

Blackshirt83 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Sounds like the ncaa is doing away with the automatic 5th year transfer rule starting next season. FWIW. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Sounds like the ncaa is doing away with the automatic 5th year transfer rule starting next season. FWIW. I thought I read "graduate transfers" would still be immediately eligible. But guys transferring to get "closer to home" would no longer be eligible for exemptions that would allow them to play right away. I could be wrong. Quote

I think we need some more clarification but I think the Russell Wilson rule is still in effect. The way it has been explained to me by someone intimately familiar with the NCAA guidelines is that once a student signs the scholarship paperwork, the student is not allowed to participate in team activities with another school until the student has received a release. This rule also applies to graduate transfers such as Russell Wilson who had to be released from NC State in order to play for Wisconsin. hhcmatt 1 Quote

When it's put that way, it sounds like the NCAA is giving universities the power to hold students hostage if they want. If the issue is too many financially exploited kids exploiting a NCAA loophole, this sounds like a NCAA type fix. Am I being too cynical here? Quote

But once you graduate are you being released from your scholarship? I thought those players were just free to choose what they wanted. Are they really being released from anything? Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 This truely sounds like the NCAA. Put out a vague comment, see what everybody doesn't understand it. Then come out with what needs to be said to make them look like they knew what they were doing in the first place. Quote
GATA Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Listening to 93.7 The Ticket, it sure seems like Petteway is gone, or at least that's how most of the people they've talked to are leaning that way. Quote
ShortDust Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Yea, seems like a lot of reporters believe he will be gone. It makes you wonder.. I would guess we should know in the next week or two. Quote
ajb5856 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Posted March 25, 2015 I think Petteway is gone. I'm just curious to see who else leaves. Aside from Shavon and Benny, I've heard about every other name on the roster as a possible candidate to bail the program. Quote
hhcmatt Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Am I being too cynical here? Probably, dude. Quote
