Re: Cody Larson II....
Here comes the bad news. We have 0% chance of signing Larson. Rumor has it Billy Donovan is coming into Sioux Falls tomorrow and Steve Alford and his wingman Ryan Miller next week sometime (by the way anytime I hear Ryan Millers name I cringe thinking of his performance at Frost..anyway at the D1 level I guess he can recruit like a madman....Solely responsible for Darrington Hobson going to UNM). With that being said I think we don't have a prayer. We really need to get some breaks going are way here soon. Hopefully we can get some JUCO's.Comment

Re: Cody Larson II....
I think Cody goes to Fla or Az State or somewhere in that general mindset, a place far away where they know nothing about his "incident" at Roosy.
If he is successful the home state will not like him. I don't get it. Can someone explain....Comment

Re: Cody Larson II....
I'm sure there will be some people like that, but there will be people like that no matter how good of a kid he was. I for one would love to see Larson land at SDSU (though I don't see it happening), but no matter where he goes I hope he is successful and can put his troubles behind him. I plan on following his career one way or another.Originally posted by TeaJackrabbit View PostIf you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.

Re: Cody Larson II....
Agreed. A lot of people regret things they did at 18 and learn from them and grow into great people. Good luck to Cody wherever he goes (pleeeeeeeease be SDSU?)Originally posted by Kemo View Post

Apparently if Larson attends a Big Ten school he will be paying his own way all the way through college. The league has a rule that anyone who transfers within the conference is never eligible for scholarship money. Even though he was released from his LOI,the conference is still considering him a transfer for scholarship money purposes.Comment

Re: Cody Larson II....
I was wondering the same thing. Universities usually will not allow you to play within the same conference if they let you out of the LOI. I'm not sure in this case, but if that is a conference rule then it does limit playing in the midwest somewhat.Originally posted by bigticket1 View Post
Not sure why Indiana and Ohio St. have visited or will visit Cody if that is the case. I'm sure there are ways around it, but if I was Iowa and Cody ended up in the Big 10, I'm sure they would not be too happy about it.(\__/)

Re: Cody Larson II....
A little housekeeping: I've moved this thread to College Athletics out of the section on SDSU Men's Basketball.
Interesting Big 10 rule. That may explain why no other Big 10 schools are being discussed in the rumor mill.
I'm hearing Florida, Kansas State and Nebraska in the hunt as are other schools.Comment

Re: Cody Larson II....
Can you condition a release from a LOI? If Larson were off limits to any other Big Ten school, as a condition of his release (NOT parole terminology!!Universities usually will not allow you to play within the same conference if they let you out of the LOI
), you'd think Ohio State & Indiana would've been informed ahead of time.

Re: Cody Larson II....
The publisher/founder of www.hawkeyenation.com, JonDMiller, had this to say about Larson and Brust (Iowa's other recruit let out of his LOI) on the website's forums: http://www.hawkeyenation.com/forum/b...ase-hubub.html
Interesting comments, and being that the poster is the founder of the site, I'd say the chances of the post being accurate is quite high.Just spoke with Gary Barta. There are some concerns in the Larson and Brust camp related to what they were led to believe about being released from their Iowa scholarships. They felt they could transfer anywhere including in the Big Ten. But there is a Big Ten rule that states players cannot transfer within the league and be on scholarship. They could pay thei own way but not get a ride
the two families feel this was no explained to them while Barta isn't sure that is the case or if they didn't understand it or if he didn't explain it adequately
the bottom line is this is a Big Ten rule not an Iowa rule. They can try to appeal to the Big Ten, but they are not pleased
this is now my own comment: I never felt iowa was going to get back in with Larson but I did think they had a great shot with Brust. I would not say that now
I don't think Gary Barta is to blame from a standpoint of doing anything unethical. By his own admission there was some breakdown in communication here.If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.

Re: Cody Larson II....
It does exist - a few years ago a player transferred from Northwestern to Minnesota and had to pay his own way.Originally posted by Nidaros View PostComment
