Jared Jones not signing today
- Thread starter SauceCat

He was really expecting the seating capacity at the new arena to be at or near 9,000. I bet he heard it was only 7,000 and decided to look elsewhere.
Yea, not sure why everyone is going negative right off the bat. It's probably something simple. Maybe he just needs to complete a class this fall to fulfill admissions requirements before he's officially admitted. He'd need to wait to get the grade early in 2019 and his next opportunity to sign would be spring.
that's probably it. is their still time to add more folding chairs?
Pardon was 100% commited and waited till the spring
Is it possible that admissions told him to wait on signing the LOI until the spring? just speculating, but if he needs to improve his grades or test scores?
Getting admitted into NU is not easy, even for an athlete. It is public record that Greer had a 3.7 GPA and 1310 SAT. While decent, those numbers won't get 95% of non-athlete applicants into NU.

Not good! Bad things man...bad things. As soon as i read "admin" nothing good follows.
Time to lower standards and bring in a championship team. Showtime!

Yeah... the minimums are nowhere near that for scholarship football or basketball players.
If I were a recruit I would wait until the spring as well and maybe even go so far as to not sign a letter of intent (eg Swanigan at Purdue). Why lock yourself in for nothing in return when the coach could get fired or take another job, the program could get put on probation, etc?
spit ballin' here....cuz the school u want to go to will fill your spot with another recruit....like when Lathon committed and Ayo had to move on
right
and so NU took Lathon's commitment and walked away from Ayo
the LOI protects the players in addition to protecting the schools
Better to sign a scholarship agreement. Protects the player while allowing the flexibility to change schools if the coach leaves or the school goes on probation.
Or if aninjury happens. We have seen that NU honors scholarships if committed even if an letter has not yet been signed but other schools might not
Lathan had 3 points and 1 assist in 24 minutes of a blowout loss to Arizona last night. Doesn't exactly look like an instant star to me.
In the limited data set of three games, he is shooting 22% from the field, 11% from 3, and is averaging four TOs a game. It's still early, though.
