Jimmy looks an awful lot like Mitch in the picture.

So Siena will have no Scholarships for next year as it sits right? assuming a 5 person class coming in (Javion, Jiggets, White, Wright and Long if they all come).... everyone else are soph or juniors(redshirt or matriculated juniors) no seniors..... unless I am missing something.
Is there any room for this Canadian kid? as it sits, there is no room for 2 years.

You would be correct.
If we bring in a 5 man freshman class and Hymes returns and there are no other departures we would have 5 juniors, 3 sophomores, and 5 freshman.
As it stands there would be no room for him. Don't know if he was brought in as an insurance policy if Long decides he doesn't like Siena or what.
Even if another scholarship were to open I don't know that adding a 6th freshman would be wise. Need to work on balancing out the classes.

I think Marko Pirovic is insurance for Burdine and/or White. White is NOT signed and he hasn't visited so I'm not counting on him yet. The first two we need to get are Lavon Long and Marquis Wright and then we'll take it from there.
Singelais tweet. Can't Marcius take accounting? Or does it have to be a major Purdue doesn't have- in which case we're out of luck.
Told that Siena can't get F Sandi Marcius from Purdue because Siena doesn't have graduate school (except for accounting). He has 1 year left

interesting. I thought Jimmy mentioned that he hosted a recruit today during his comments at the PSP party at Prime tonight. Did anyone else attend and here the same thing? Marko Pirovic, the Canadian player referenced by Saints Fan recently, was apparently the visitor. My sense is that Wright, Long and White are the three that Jimmy wants. If we assume, reasonably from my perspective, that Brookins is gone, there is room for all three, and I do not think that if any more scholarships open up, they will be filled unless it is by someone like Sandi Marcius who would hold a scholarship only for a year. Jimmy will need to accumlate at least two for the Class of 2014, IMHO. Marcius has run into a bit of a snag. He needs 2 summer school courses to graduate. Purdue won't pay for those courses now. Cost is about $7k. Matt Painter trying to talk him into staying for the fifth year but he said he isn't happy there. Might need to take out a loan to finish coursework in order to transfer and play immediately. |

that's about right - equates to $17.5K a semester

Thank goodness for Bright Futures because when I was at Siena it was about $8k-&-change including room and board for a YEAR.

Didn't someone explain last week or so that if the player has completed his/her undergrad work they have a lot of flexibility and in fact can complete a second undergrad degree? If I am remembering this correctly then he should still be able to come if he's completed his undergrad degree at Purdue. |

Apparently he's not interested in that. |

Any idea or chatter on how the visits went today? Wright said he didn't get on the plane until 4 p.m. and he just tweeted 30 min ago that the hotel room was big so I'm guessing they aren't doing too much today |

Sounds like he went to school today. Good for him.
