We may need to match thatt. That would, incidently, take care of our scholarship problem for '19 b/c if you play both it has to be on a football scholly.

Norvell doin work.

[PorkRinds]

They're desperate and he will come here to play b-ball only.

He is an elite athlete for his size in my opinion and i think he has a higher ceiling in football. But i also have seen him more on a football field than a basketball court.

Ty. All I have is highlight films, which really don't show much about how a player really handles a whole game.

One and done with a guarantee of being drafted by the Memphis Grizzles in the first round along with a controlling stake in the team.

We need to embrace more 2 sport athletes...let the damn kids play

FB and it's not even close. How many 6' (and under) guards are even on NBA rosters? How many roster spots total in the NBA by the way? There are probably 50x as many 6' DBs in the NFL as there are 6' guards in the NBA. Maybe closer to 100x. No-brainer.

Penny Hardaway.  A name that still means something.

[#1 STUNNA]

If hes an elite athlete that can dribble and pass we need him. Cause we dont have any of them on campus.

He will absolutely kill it in recruiting.  He has a top 5 6-11 kid on his high school team

Pretty sure I remember hearing Fitz on the radio saying they are mainly focusing only on basketball for Justice's future past high school. Granted, that may have been while Bielema was still the HC or during the transition, so things could have changed

This, there was a time when this was common place or at least not as rare as it is today.  Always liked it when a FB player joined the basketball team.  Wonder if CM and his high school roots will be more open to this.
