Is there any new info about who's staying and who's leaving

[claycohog]

on our basketball team?

[Pork Twain]

It is getting a little late in the game for movement and there has not been any smoke for a while.

[Chris Bahn]

There are some current guys waiting to hear grade results and some incoming guys waiting to hear clearinghouse results.

Honestly, this thing could drag out until school starts in August. Arkansas will be below its current 13 scholarship players. How far below remains to be seen.

There's smoke and it ain't too late.

do tell please

[Wild Bill Hog]

do tell please

Good luck with that.

[linze82]

Good luck with that.

is this the super secret, i know something u don't know thread?

[ruarealhogfan]

If you know & from your past "guarantees" I am doubting that you do, posting a thread asking the question you seem to think you know the answer to is definitely troll-worthy in my book...

[Pork Twain]

Boy I have not heard that one before.  I would not be surprised to see Borden go prep and Henry not make the grades but that is all I can see happening.  I did not say it was too late, but it is getting late for moves.  I will not hold my breath for any facts concerning any players.

[VirginiaHog]

There is no way Borden goes prep if Henry does not make it. We have 14 Players for 13 spots. If all make it, Borden goes prep. If anyone fails to make it, Borden comes. Now Borden may come and redshirt, but he will come. (if someone fails to make it)

Wasn't clayco one of the "in the know" people a bit back?

Seems like he hasn't known anything so far

Agreed, but Chris Bahn does know. I'm hoping that when he said:

..that he actually meant 14 instead of 13. I believe the spotlight is on Henry and/or Welsh. We'll all just have to wait and see. That being said, we shouldn't lose focus of the fact that A) the nucleus of Powell, Washington, Fortson, and Clarke will be very good and B) the subtraction of Henry and/or Welsh would most likely be a boon for chemistry and our locker room.

Well I think he knows something this time.....In fact , I would bet on it.

[ruarealhogfan]

I guess you could say, he's due..

[clifflee4mvp]

you mean like scoop lericos? Never understood why he got credit for scooping the wrong football coach like 3 times........

[HawgAdvocate]

He obviously knows how to create a thread asking Hogville for info.

[Pork Twain]

At this point there are not many insides not named Tomhog, WPS or RD that I would bank on.

[Hogbody]

I know Welsh did not finish the class he was enrolled in first summer session

not sure if that will matter or not

[chiefsfan]

ive heard we have a better chance of losing Welsh then Henry.   But no real source.  just rumblings

Exactly what I meant. They'll get down from 14 to at least 13, but could lose people beyond that.

[Pork Twain]

Way to go out on a limb

[606hog]

Is this a bad thing? lol

[606hog]

If Welsh were to leave, I hope that Pel does not sign another player, instead holding that scholarship for the next recruiting class as Welsh and Washington are the only two seniors. The classes are a little more evened out now as it is.

If Welsh were to leave that would leave 13 scholarship players. There would be no scholarship. Correct?

[HawgAdvocate]

Correct. But if Borden goes prep for whatever reason, then we'd be at 12.

[pujolstain]

on our basketball team?

Well I heard that Rob Evans was leaving, Washington was going to Europe, Powell would not qualify, the sky was falling, none other than from you.

Weak buddy, weak.

[Pork Twain]

I would love to have everyone back, especially Henry, but if he is not willing to work hard to keep his spot then maybe it is better that he does not come back.  Where is the talk that Welsh is gone coming from?

[outlawhogeywells]

don't letters go out today to all Scholarship ath. on who will retain scholarships forr 2009-2010

[Porkatarian]

Beo, is Welsh still taking summer classes?


Porkatarian out...

[Pork Twain]

I am not sure.  That is why I was curious where the talk that he might not be back was coming from.  Any info on your end?

[Hogbody]

he dropped out of first session anatomy, fwiw

hope he doesn't need to take it any time soon

[UltimateHog]

Welsh was the worst of/on the worst last year.

Please tell me he's gone.

[Hogbody]

 doubt we know anything for sure til august at the earliest

[JIHawg]

Pel did promise Rotney Clarke's dad that he would fix the cancer problem.  Marshawn Powell is solidly in the fold now.  The timing is right.

[chiefsfan]

I dont know where its coming from.  Ive just heard some stuff on that and hogbody had mentioned to me a couple weeks ago he dropped out of a class he was in

[Beaverfever]

I will be very upset if Henry isn't back, Welsh......not so much.  I'd just assume he doesn't come back.

[Razorod]

yes, but wouldn't our APR take another hit if Welsh leaves? We really don't want to be losing a scholarship in the next couple of years with the in-state 2011 class coming up.

best result for APR is for Welsh to stay and Borden to go prep which would not count against the APR

Then it depends on whether Washington or Welsh graduate, and whether or not any of Heath's 6 seniors graduate this year

that's what I thought. Don't know if we need to be wishing Welsh away. Best thing is for the players we have/expect to have stay and learn to get along, accept roles, etc.

Very good point about the APR.  So really losing either Henry or Welsh would cause to drop even farther.

[Kevin Bacon]

But gaining a good solid student athlete like Peterson does help because the APR is a 4 year average, right?

[HawgAdvocate]

Transfers in and out only have a discounted effect on the APR....

[justmaybe]

Welsh had some good games last year. And yes some bad ones. Mostly I think he was taking a bigger role than what he could handle. If Forston steps up and Welsh can just play elder statesmen to the more talented younger guy then he will be important to this team. Don't forget also that he is good friends with Powell who is coming in.

[claycohog]

One down, and one to go.
