I believe you are correct except for one comment. You can have a maximum of 13 players on scholarship; however, they do not need to be full rides. For one reason or another, a coach may elect to provide a player with less than one full ride. An example of when this may happen: One of your 13 scholarship players unexpectedly is does not show up for school in the fall. A coach may use some of this $ to assist a walk-on with books or more.

I incorrectly posted on the 2011 Recruiting thread..... Some recruiting news: We have made an offer to Schany, the NE LB. He also has offers from Colorado and Ohio Two new names on the "Of interest" list - a LB from OR and QB out of AZ. Wiki has been updated.

I just read that the Gophers are considering him to fill the scholarship left open when Iverson left. This kid looks good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmkKoccQAgg

It appears the primary big kid we are after is Andre Ingram, a 6'7", 235, sophomore at Butler CC in Kansas. He is originally from Mpls. (Transitional). He averages 12.2 points and 7.4 rebounds in conference games. I get the impression that he is more of a "banger" but he was 13 for 13 FG shooting in one game and was 9 for 9 on FTs in another game. Also has offers from Boise St., USD and W IL.

DDan - while your response is "right on", the best way to address posts like this from SU fans is to simply ignore them. They probably get a rise out of all of us getting worked up about their silly comments!

I don't disagree with your recommendation. I would suggest that you do some homework and provide the e-mail addresses of all the pertinent people at the NCAA who may have a say in this. That , of course, would include President Emmert and other NCAA employees.

It all gets down to $! No one knows the answer to your question!

Thanks for your service! Go Sioux!!

While I also would prefer to see FCS teams visit GF rather than DII teams, I fully agree with the above comments.

I was there - what a weekend!

So both programs are disbanded, effective immediately?

Check out the great headline in the More Headlines area on the right side of the FightingSioux.com home page.

I do not know but I would bet they are recruiting as if they have two scholarships available. They may or may not know someone is not returning. Despite how good Washpun might be, if we only have one scholarship available, it really needs to be a "big"!

Supposedly, he also has offers from USD, SDSU and NDSU! While I am not sure need another rather small guard but it appears that this kid is good!

Very interesting! I have not heard of the Plainsdaily before. Who are they and where are they located?

I just hope all the freshmen are keeping their grades up - difficult to do without the redshift year to adjust to college, etc. All the travel and being away from the classroom scares me. It would really be bad to lose one of these kids!

I know that they are looking at at least one big kid from the JC ranks. It will be interesting which, if any, of the underclassmen do not return next year. That would open up some needed scholarship $ for new recruits.

We lost 69-62. We shot 47%, 46% from 3 point range, 90% FT from the line and outrebounded UTPA 35-27. The difference was our 33 turnovers. I watched the whole game and I bet 20 of the turnovers came with no pressure on us - just careless passing along with a bunch of traveling. Hopefully, the Williams girl from Hopkins can come in and be the point guard who can control the tempo of the game. She apparently has that ability.

UND beat Ohio State 7-4 this morning in Tulsa. I have no idea how good OSU is or is not but this is probably the SB team's top win since moving to D1! **** I just checked - OSU is 5-13 after just beating Iowa St. 8-0 right after the loss to the Sioux.

Baseball will continue at UND for the foreseeable future.

I would guess some voters (especially UM) "punished" the twins for transferring. They should be "over it " by next year. Very disappointing but not surprising - to me, at least!!

I would think that 1) a losing record with a loss to one (or more) of the lower division teams - unless we finished the season VERY strong or 2) a losing record with the team showing little improvement throughout the season and/or not playing with much energy/motivation due to a real or perceived lack of leadership from the coaching staff.

Men's and Women's recruiting has been added to Wiki. Feel free to let me know who else either program may be looking at. I didn't have too much to insert. I did list Farroh as a potential recruit; however, I do not know if Gene and crew are looking at her.
