Silverbacked1 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Posted April 12, 2016 HE IS AN ADIDAS KID!!!!!!! Neebraska 1 Quote
BmoreRed Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) This kid just had his scholarship revoked a few days ago from Northwestern. Sure he has some kind of relationship with Coach Gates, could be a possibility for that last scholarship? I know we don't necessarily need another guard, but it looks like some quality teams are giving him a look. https://247sports.com/player/jordan-lathon-87234 http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-spt-northwestern-revokes-admission-jordan-lathon-20180525-story.html Edited May 29, 2018 by BmoreRed Quote
49r Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) He was denied admission into Northwestern. Most of the chatter on Reddit over the weekend about him seemed to indicate being denied admission was not due to a grade issue. Seems to me to be that caveat emptor would be a pretty necessary approach for any school who is considering offering him a scholarship. **edited to clarify that the admission was revoked (meaning that he had previously been granted admission) not denied Edited May 29, 2018 by 49r Quote
Huskerpapa Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 Sounds like Louisville and Missouri are both interested. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 I would take a freshman guard of this caliber over the big man transfer from Tennessee State. Not that we're necessarily in the running for either, but if someone granted me special powers for a day and I could just decide for them, provided his revocation of admission to Northwestern wasn't reflective of a serious character issue, I'd pick a kid like this. Hands down. Quote

Norm Peterson Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 Wish I knew how to cut and paste charts. "Recruited by Armon Gates." https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Jordan-Lathon-90422/RecruitInterests Quote
BmoreRed Posted May 30, 2018 Report Posted May 30, 2018 There should be some serious mutual interest here... Beyond the fact that the new assistant was the lead recuiter for the team he committed to, you’d think playing quality minutes with/under glynn and james palmer jr. would be great experience. Then, the next year (2019-2020) you have the keys to the car. Everything is yours Quote
JBARGIE Posted May 30, 2018 Report Posted May 30, 2018 Isn’t anyone worried as to why he was revoked admission though? Quote

Swan88 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Posted May 30, 2018 This would be a great get. But didn’t we just sign a 6’5” 195 lb. point guard? Why would a 6’4” 175 lb. point guard want to come here in the same class? Quote

I assume there is a bit of humor intended in your reply, well because there is a bit of humor in almost all of your reply’s. I trust our staff to do their due diligence and if they offer they will be comfortable with that offer.

I know he’s said that in the past Swan88 1 Quote
