Mens Basketball Recruits

[CajunGuru]

_ New info indicates Bureau is fully qualified and will be on TOPS here (not a basketball scholarship). As far as the other guys asked about, Brandon Dison sat out this year in order to get eligible. As finals have not occurred yet for the spring semester, we don't know the status of that. Supposedly, he and the other three guys sitting out did well in fall. I don't think Chris Gradigno will redshirt as he is reported to be the highest profile recruit to sign here since Kevin Brooks. _

Mike, his coach stated that he has not recieved his test score back from a recent ACT test, not that he is not eligible. He just didn't know what his recent score on his ACT was at this point. BTW, he can't sign a letter intent for a full scholarship and recieve tops. Something is not correct about that information.

Perhaps the test score came in today or yesterday. My son took the test on April 14. He looked up his score yesterday online. You can do so at a cost of $4. Perhaps Travis did the same.

??? Where is Robert getting room to put these new players? Are players leaving of their own volition or is he releasing some because these new players are better? We have been told that he was only going to sign a post player during this signing period, he's now added two more for which he's not supposed to have room. It can't be that anyone will not be eligible because we were told that everyone is making their grades. It's going to be interesting to find out who's leaving to make room for these newcomers, or how he's going to work this out if no one is leaving.

Bureau is the only player that got added...Brandon Dison is from the group that sat out last year. Gradnago ws added in the spring signing and I am guessing that Bureau filled the last spot.

i think bureau is going to receive tops so he won't count against the scholarships. Not positive but i think

Dison I knew about, Gradnigo as well. My concern is not just the number of scholarships, because that can be taken care of, but the total number of players on the roster. I am also concerned about there being room, and a scholarship, for a post player that everyone, including the coaching staff, keeps saying that is going to be signed. I was concerned about Terrance Henry being added until I saw that he is a 2008 high school graduate.

Let's see if we can do the math here and determine who will be on the roster for next season and who will be on scholarship. We had 14 players on the roster. 5 graduated, leaving 9. We had three non-qualifiers and one transfer, that makes 13. We signed Chris Gradnigo in the fall signing period and now Travis Bureau in the spring signing period, making 15. We are being told that they will sign a post player which will make 16. Here's the list of players, perhaps someone can tell me (Jay would be nice, Robert would be better) what each person's status is for next season.

Seniors-Maurice Barksdale, David Dees, Abray Milson
Juniors-Derek Gray
Sophomores-Stephen Dees, Tyren Johnson, Willie Lago, Elijah Milsap, Courtney Wallace, LaRyan Gary, Brandon Dison, Corey Bloom (Jr?), Randall Daigle
Freshmen-Chris Gradnigo, Travis Bureau

You left off Damon Forest -- so now we are looking at 17 spots on 11 scholarships (13 minus 1 for APR and 1 for Orien Greene - however, the university is petitioning the NCAA to get the APR loss back due to great improvement in the last two years)

Travis Bureau = TOPS
Stephen Dees = Walk On
It's possible that Abray Milson and/or Derek Gray are paying their own way.
It's also possible that Courtney Wallace and/or Tyren Johnson and/or Willie Lago might be on TOPS.

Therefore, it is plausible that only 10 full scholarships have been utilitzed to date.

Stephen Dees I want to say is a walk-on (no scholarship) but like you I don't know how many we have but someone on here probably has that answer...Guru, Cajunmike?
