Poor job of our staff not making sure all was in order before taking the commitment
You see that's the staffs job at the beginning of recruiting such kids. It's their job to know
No blue font
Most grad programs require the applicants to score a certain level on a standardized test such as the MCAT, etc. If Fore hadn't taken said particular test for his particular masters program then how would the coaches supposed to have known his score wouldn't be in the acceptance range? There's other requirements that could have been unforeseen sticking points until he application was being processed. Admissions to grad school isn't nearly as generic as undergraduate admissions. At least that's my experience with the 4 graduate degrees in my immediate family
Agree to disagree then....maybe you're just a more critical person than me? Since 99% of their recruits are undergraduate applicants I'd expect that to be their expertise, not so much with grad school TIFWIW, JMO, AARP
Ehab Amin and Jordan Lathon are the 2 names right now that make the most sense....
Amin is a graduate transfer from Texas Corpus Christi, more of a combo guard but could give us some minutes at PG, very good rebounder and has led the nation in steaks previously.
Lathon is a high school kid, was commited to Northwestern but they revoked his his scholarship recently, unclear as to why. Hes a Top 150 guy that also is probably more of the combo guard type, the negative here would be its one less scholarship for fall 2019 class, but positive would be someone already learning behind Bone/Turner for the future.
His statements in the first article make it seem like he would be interested. However, it seems like he has is interested in staying in the Southwest. Looks like we did not intially contact him from the second article.
Ehab Amin Q&A: 'I feel like it’s a national championship team'
Grad Transfer Ehab Amin Hearing From Over 20 Of Big-Time Programs
On why he joined a team so loaded minutes will be tough to get:
Im pretty confident in myself and how I can help the team and what I bring to the table. Not just defensively, but offensively as well. I feel like in that point guard spot I can excel and even off the ball, too. Im not a ball-dominant player. I feel like I can play on or off the ball. I can play multiple positions, I can guard multiple positions, so I feel like Im a really versatile player and thats one of the reason I wanted to go to Nevada. I only have one year left and I know how good I am. I wanted to go somewhere I can go to a Final Four and compete for a championship and make the tournament and not go somewhere where youre on the bubble. I wanted to go somewhere that has a lot of good players coming back, who has a good coach, who has a winning culture, whos been there before. They had a really good season last year and have a great core coming back and we want to make it far in the tournament.
