Other sport players who could play B-ball

[hogfan7]

Due to recent events the basketball team may have many open spots and since it's to late to recruit players, what players from other sports teams on campus could play basketball? I think Skipper would be a force down low.

I wish they'd let him play, but most likely not gonna happen...

Oh I know. The likelihood of having a football guy help out is slim to none. Nice to wish for a moment lol.

I doudt CBB will let his players venture over into the basketball facility. CMA may have to watch some pickup games in the HYPR building to find some practice bodies.

Long jumpers and high jumpers from the track team might could help out. They usually have a little experience in basketball.

Getting a football player wouldn't be the best course of action if your looking for bodies at this point, best case scenario he's available in mid January after everything is done with football.

If the staff feels like these guys really wont' have a chance to make it back to campus, which they should have a pretty good idea after their court appearance on Friday, best bet would be to at least grab an unsigned JUCO or see if they can't get someone to reclassify and sign with them.  It may not be the quality of player we want, but all we would really need is 1 more guy that could fit in rotation or provide a body for practice.

Whitt/Durham
Bell/Hannahs
Watkins/(walk-on or late signee)
Miles/Thompson
Kingsley/Kouassi

I saw in another thread that a returning football player was basically penalized/demoted due to being distracted with track and joining a fraternity.
