Cody Larson II....

Re: Cody Larson II....

I'm trying to understand how some can be a little critical of a SD athlete going out of state when we recruit athletes from other states. SDSU has to strive to be a school that is at the top of eveyone's list of where they would like to go to school so that we are in the running for every good student and student athlete. We will get some but not all from inside the state. And, we will be in position to get some from outside the state.

It's an ongoing struggle for most schools. Even the traditional powerhouses are at risk for having athletes get away from them.

I hope Larson does well.

Great post.

Go to message boards for just about every college team and you'll see the same discussion that goes on here regarding keeping instate recruits at home. Everyone has an opinion. SDSU fans are no different.

I agree. People having a decent, non-smack conversation with interesting view points! Get rid of it!

Your sarcasm is going to get you in a lot of trouble some day.

There's nothing new to talk about. He's going to Florida. Some people like it and some don't for different reasons.

But please carry on if you'd like. No worries here.

I had a neighbor-lady once who called rhubarb "pie-fruit."

Mmmm. Rhubarb pie . . .

I'm with you....I don't get it either. It's been a good thread.

Re: Cody Larson II....

Interesting tidbit on story about the Gophers, apparently the scholarship-transfer rule in the Big 10 is not ironclad.

"They pursued Ben Brust, a prep guard from Illinois who was recently released from his LOI to Iowa, but backed off when Big Ten officials wouldn't allow him to accept a scholarship from another conference school. But Northwestern and Wisconsin appealed the league's ruling and won."

Don't worry; the Gators still want him:

So the saga continues. A comment fitting for a Scandavian surname Larson.

Re: Cody Larson II....

Hydrocodone is an opiod narcotic derived from morphine, same thing heroin is derived from. Morphine is derived from the opium poppy. Abusing hydrocodone is a serious issue. Taking hydrocodone to get "high" is abuse.

Providing hydrocodone illegally would be even more concerning.

Being in the same room where someone else took hydrocodone is certainly less serious. Sounds like Cody needs to hang out with people who make better choices or help those who are making poor choices to make better ones.

Re: Cody Larson II....

I am glad for Cody that this has come out. Someone close to him has told me that his situation was not what people were making it out to be, and I believed him. Being on other boards and talking to quite a few people I learned that most everyone automatically thought the worst. I would ask these people what they knew and NONE of them knew any facts. This includes a friend of mine who is a teacher at Roosy as well as an Argus sports guy (not TV). One Argus guy even approached me on Sunday of the Summit Tourney asking me what I knew. He told me if the Argus knew anything they weren't talking. I have even taken heat for daring to defend Cody lately. My main defense for him is that I'm sure all the schools that offered him a schollie knew more than we know and they were still comfortable bringing him to their school and paying for his education.

The part of the story that may be more relevant to SDSU athletics would be Grant Wynia and his involvement. I would think that he was being recruited for Golf.

Not sure. He signed with SIU-E near the end of April. With one of his brothers on the SDSU team we probably were interested. No idea if the legal issues had any influence on the result.
