Verice Cloyd has been admitted...

[Stephen323]

Excellent news as he should be an instant contributor.

 

[Marg]

where did you read that? got a link?

 

[Stephen323]

No link. You will have to take my word for it for now.

 

[Crimson Surfer]

Great news, look forward to something official being reported. Not doubting you but I just like official confirmation or at least a published article for clarification.

 

[POWERLINEMAN42]

Let's hope this is true. We need the help thats for sure, as he should be a big time contributer for us.

 

[Marg]

hope it's true as that would be good news. not doubting you, i'm just a little wary of reports on boards without official releases/statements.

 

[TerryP]

WOW!

If this is indeed true, it comes as a SHOCK to me. The last word I heard is he was having a very difficult time with Compliance.

Cecil Hurt is reporting that as of Monday night, Cloyd's attorney said that they have not heard anything.

I am checking with my people again, but I had two different reports that he is in.

 

[Stephen323]

And now the confirmation comes.

When the NCAA came out with that list of schools they called "diploma mills," Genisis One Prep (Cloyd's school in MS) was one of those mentioned. Now, according to what he says the NCAA has taken Genisis One Prep off of their first list. That in itself would seem to be good news for a lot of players and students from those fews schools "cleared." (fingers crossed)

Will the Clearinghouse follow suit? I'm not getting my hopes up until I see something from the NCAA...but I do have guarded optimism.

 

[POWERLINEMAN42]

Somebody posted a link about that Terry, Genesis One was taken off the list for now I think.

Outstanding! Welcome aboard officially Verice!!! RTR!!!

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Wow!

The season outlook just got brighter. Now, if we'll just stay with the motion offense...

 

[Bama-94-00]

Offense

The season outlook just got brighter. Now, if we'll just stay with the motion offense...

Keep the same mix of sets (mainly motion ones) at least. They still used a high post set every once in while late last season.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Yep...

they did. But they mixed it up. I understand the theory of the high post, but I still struggle with standing around, letting the defense get comfortable and rested. Oh well...

[12 rings]

Great news, maybe hell be the #2 guard we so desperately needed last year.

 

[biglittlelittle]

Looks like:
Steele PG Junior
Cloyd SG True Fresh.
Assuming he earns it over Hollinger and Davis and Steele doesn't become the 2 when anothe rPG comes into the game
Gee SF Soph
Hendrix PF Soph
Davidson C Senior

Bench:

Brandon Hollinger PG Sophomore
Brandon Davis S/PG RS Sophomore
Yamene Coleman C Redshirt Freshman

True Freshman
Mikhail Torrance G
Avery Jukes F
Demetrius Jemison F

Experienced Depth seems to be the issue.
Nothing wrong with the starting 5.

Looks like we have some great talent coming in the year after this one with Rico and Senario.

 

[bamabballer]

Don't forget junior collge transfer Mykal Riley!
