Had a good game last night in the district 14-AAA championship game. went for 17 points while hitting 5 three pointers.

unfortunately his craigmont team lost to bartlett 61-48, but never the less a nice showing from the PG.

Sound a lot like Landry.

Quite obvious the type of PG CCM wants.

Landry will do just fine, but I'd say they'll keep an eye on this kid. Always good to have a backup plan, or you could always take both if they wanted to come on too.

Landry may be good, but I doubt he faces the competition that Craft faces in Memphis and on the AAU circuit. Also, he is looking to play Football also. Memphis has made him dual offers.

Actually Landry does play on a pretty good AAU circuit but anyways.

Id be surprised of we went after craft, unless he blows up or something. Landry is solid, and we're in on some higher rated PGs this class and next. Trae will be a senior in 2013 so no need to worry and bring in a PG you may not be sure about.

Our biggest need is going to be in the post so I'd say they'll probably extend quite a few offers at that position. Plus we're in on some major talent at the wings.

To be more precise, Memphis football has made him an offer. If he plays football, he'd be allowed to play basketball starting his sophomore season without taking up a basketball schollie.

Exactly, Memphis bball isn't offering they'd be nuts to, they can give him a football scholly.


The issue is craft has said its going to be basketball unless big time football schools start calling. Right now they haven't been so he's leaning towards the basketball route.

Just to be clear if he plays football and basketball and is on scholly it has to be a football scholly.

It doesn't work both ways?

So if say stokes played both, his scholly would HAVE to be football and couldn't be basketball?

Yes. I believe it's referred to as the Bear Bryant rule. Bryant was famous for putting football players on swimming schollys and the like. So NCAA passed a rule that states if you are on scholly and are on the football team, you're scholly has to count towards the football limit of 85.

I know it's wiki but here is a link. Division I (NCAA) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's interesting never heard of it.

Surprised cal hasn't exercised that at UK. Tell joker he's using 5 " football" scholarships a year, and bring in a 2nd team of NBA guys.

If someone comes to a University wanting to play two sports (football and basketball, let's say) they have to be either put on a basketball or football scholarship and cannot play the other sport their first year. If they then decide to play both sports their second year, their scholarship must count against the football total.

That is correct. He would be counted in football.

15.5.10 Multi-Sport Participants.

15.5.10.1 Football. [FBS/FCS] In football, a counter who was recruited (per Bylaw 15.02.8) and/or offered
financial aid to participate in football and who participates (practices or competes) in football and one or more sports (including basketball) shall be counted in football.

-A counter who was not recruited (per Bylaw 15.02.8) and/or offered financial aid to participate in football and who competes in football and one or more sports (including basketball) shall be counted in football. (Revised: 1/10/95 effective 8/1/95, 1/9/96 effective 8/1/96, 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)

15.5.10.1.1 Initial Counter. [FBS/FCS] A counter who previously has not been counted in football
shall be considered an initial counter even though the student-athlete already has received countable financial
aid in another sport.

15.5.10.1.2 Championship Subdivision Football Exception. [FCS] A counter who practices or
competes in football at a Football Championship Subdivision institution that elects to use the football
counter and initial-counter exception set forth in Bylaw 15.5.6.2.1 and who practices or competes in another
sport and receives countable financial aid in another sport shall be counted in the institution’s financial
aid limitations in the other sport. (Adopted: 1/10/95, Revised: 12/15/06)

15.5.10.2 Basketball. A counter who practices or competes in basketball and one or more other sports (other than football) shall be counted in basketball.

I didn't see anything about that in the multi-sport athlete section (section 15.5.10), but I am not going to go digging through the whole 439 page document. As far as I can tell, a student athlete could come onto campus as a freshman and play both football and basketball as long as they are counted as football.

Here's a link to the rulebook if anyone is interested: 2011-12 NCAA D1 Manual

Hunter did track & football his freshman year didn't he?

That's my point exactly. Hunter played football the Fall of his Freshman year and ran track in the Spring. I don't think there is any limitation on when you can become a two sport athlete. Maybe it's a Memphis thing.

Yea I was supporting what you were saying. I've never heard of only being allowed to play one sport your freshman year.

JH was just the first athlete that came to mind.

Devrin Young did both last year as well iirc, his freshman year.

Memphis' eligibility ruling on Shaq Goodwin. A basketball recruit that wants to play football at Memphis was well. He can walk on to the football team, but can't until his sophomore year.

Same thing was said about Craft coming to Memphis. He'd have to play football only his freshman year, then could walk-on to basketball his sophomore year.

I know tons of football guys at Memphis and Miami that have run track their freshman years as well. I'm not sure why the distinction between basketball and track. Maybe because basketball begins in the fall. Seems weird to me, though.
