Do we have another AC opening?
That never was a rule. They have to be at 13 or below by the start of practice.But can’t you only oversign by one before they’re gone? Or is that rule long gone?
Is that Deon in the back row?
I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work:It also depends on whether Coach wants them back.
“Supposed to”I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work:
Big Ten guarantees four-year scholarships
The Big Ten announced Wednesday that all of its institutions will grant athletic scholarships for the entire term of an athlete's enrollment and allow some athletes who leave school to return and finish their degrees on scholarship.www.espn.com
I’ll ask my kids. They tell me “that’s not how it works” in response to north of 50% of the things I say.I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work:

So it isn’t like this year that the super seniors don’t count against scholarship total?Grand and Hutch will both be eligible, I guess it just depends on if they want to move on. They should both have degrees by then. That changes the math for some guys.
They also can't pull the scholarship for basketball reasons, like "you didn't play well" or "we like the freshmen coming in more." Of course, they can say "you don't really figure into our plans next year" but the player can still choose to stay, and you can't pull his scholarship. It's not the coach's decision, it is the player's decision, in the end.“Supposed to”
Also - that is more about allowing athletes to return to finish their degree after they go pro. Yes. They can’t “revoke” a scholarship, but they can certainly “advise” them on the situation next year and whether they would be better suited transferring to another school (if they graduate, they will be immediately eligible wherever they go I believe).
My understanding is 4 years are guaranteed. I think a 5th year is up to the coach. That said, Slim Jake and Hutcherson will be 5th year seniors this season. To return as 6th year super seniors; they would have to be invited back.I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work:

I don't think so. Only this season.So it isn’t like this year that the super seniors don’t count against scholarship total?
Does the sit out year count towards that? I don't believe they count against the scholarship limit during their sit out year, so not sure. If not, then this would still be both their 4th years, so that makes sense about their scholarship not being guaranteed next year. I still can't imagine we'd be telling Jake to hit the road if he contributes as much as he did last year and wants to stay. And given what people expect of Hutch this season, I would think BU would be begging him to come back if he lives up to expectations.My understanding is 4 years are guaranteed. I think a 5th year is up to the coach. That said, Slim Jake and Hutcherson will be 5th year seniors this season. To return as 6th year super seniors; they would have to be invited back.
Yes. Though the coach can certainly push them that direction. But yes. You don’t ever see “coach ____ places ____ in the transfer portal”. The kid always has the ability to say “nah I’ll stick it out” but I’m sure some coaches more than others can be quite persuasiveThey also can't pull the scholarship for basketball reasons, like "you didn't play well" or "we like the freshmen coming in more." Of course, they can say "you don't really figure into our plans next year" but the player can still choose to stay, and you can't pull his scholarship.

Super senior only doesn’t count this year. They figure for years moving forward you have ample time to plan for the scholarships on your team.So it isn’t like this year that the super seniors don’t count against scholarship total?
I think Bass has already been jettisoned back into the talent pool and he hasn't acknowledged it.If we land both Whitmore and Corhen, and we are able to keep Bass on board, we just recruited ourselves a whole starting 5!
Meanstreets playing....no Illinois coaches?
Hearing the same on all accounts. Setting up the future this year.Staff feels they lead. Corhen would be the first to tell you that no one is recruiting him harder than Chester. I believe he could be the next commit.
If Chester can land Harris, Epps, Corhen and Whitmore in his first year…
What about #1 instate Casey? 2023 I believe!?Staff not in an all-out pursuit for any prospects on their team...
Most everyone is trying to get out of OK.Getting in to Ok. is almost impossible!
