I see there is a possibility that we might lose a scholarship for the 2008 season. I know we are petitioning that ruling well what difference does it make if we lose a scholarship for that season because we will have extra ones available anyhow. I guess the basis for the petition to have the scholarship restored would be to maintain the integrity of the basketball program. I don't know why they are trying to keep who the individual was that left early when I think everyone knows it was Oden. He was the only one who left school in the middle of Spring quarter. I would hope that Thad might be able to get some type of commitment from these guys who are going to be one and done that day would at least stay eligible through Spring quarter.
Whatever happened to the chart that OBJ (Junkie) did that showed the rosters and available scholarships. It seems to have disappeared from the Recruiting forum.

I'm in the Pritchard (6'9 260) camp if KK leaves.
He doesn't fit the typical 4 role for Matta's offense,but the guy is a load and will battle on the glass.If he gets let out of his LOI from Indy Matta should be on him ASAP.
I remember we were on on Luke Harangody to the end and for whatever reason he chose ND,maybe Matta wasn't as high on him because of his game and he didn't fit the 4 in one out role like Othello Hunter did,but the guy was just named Big East POY as a soph..he just gets it done and that's what we need...Glass eaters and Pritchard has a very similar game.
We'll see ,but I'm watching the Pritchard situation if KK leaves early.

I watched Pritchard in the two games over the weekend and I just don't see it...Right now we already have a guy like Dallas Lauderdale to fill the role that you are looking for...I don't see Pritchard playing a 4 position...He is a post player, has nice solid moves, but not a lot of explosiveness off his feet...JMHO...

I totally agree plus I do not think that he is the type of player that fits into Matta's system for playing the 4 position. Saying that, I think if Kosta leaves we will have to play 4 wings with one big man and Thad will really have to beat the bushes for 2009 4 position players.

It's a long offseason.
Kosta needs to stay. Not even saying this out of pure greed for a title.
He could actually immensely benefit on getting another year.
Any word from him on the future?

The word going around from people close to him is that he is gone...We shall see, maybe not making the tourney and playing along BJ where he will get to play more of the 4 will help him decide to come back... |

Thanks for the info but I'm like the rest. He could definetly use another year. Improve his draft stock from a mid 1st to an early 2nd this year or a lottery pick next year. I can think of MILLIONS of reasons for him to stay one more year.  |
