There is exactly zero problems here. We are getting a big guy who can at least get in peoples' way and grab a few rebounds for free. Even if we get a late bowl, he'll be missing at most one or two conference games. He's friends with three of our current/future players, and that can only add chemistry.

Damn, the NCAA will get really mad at us again if we get a good player without using a scholarship. Ollie better be careful.

Is it possible that the NCAA will strip the basketball team of a scholarship for circumvention? What's the precedence? How was it handled with Bo Jackson, Charlie Ward, Julius Peppers, Ronald Curry, Deion Sanders, Scottie Burrell, etc.?I'm sure its will be handled above board but UConn was banned from post season play for APR violations, while UNC and Kentucky are still eyeing March basketball?

This is actually a serious question, Medic. The N.C.double.cartel. went back far enough to find a couple years where UConn had sub-par APR performance a mere months after they lowered the boom on UConn for something every single school has done and regarding a player that never suited up in an NCAA sactioned event.

As great as Calhoun was for the University as a whole, its probably good that he is no longer at the top of the masthead. The NC2A definitely had a hard on for him.
 
Did I read that Blog right? It said that there was NO discussions between the Fuchs family and Kevin Ollie. Really?

there is a hierarchy to scholarship, and football is top so there is no issue with basketball.

also, word of advice to the family of players, RUN FAR FROM THE BONEYARD!!! You will see things you do not want to read, though the football board is much nicer than the basketball board when that is concerned.
 
Hazelton was not really a bona fide McD AA. I believe the game was played in Beantown and he made it because he was local.

Any of these football guys get basketball scholarships from Florida or a team like Florida?

You might be confusing Florida and Fordham. My understanding is that any interest he got from Florida was for football, not basketball. I don't think anyone thinks he's that caliber basketball player.
 
Thanks for the clarification Santini. So essentially this is a mid-major caliber recruit, who will be taking the place of a walk-on. There is no downside here. Worst case scenario, he still doesn't take up a bball scholarship. Best case, we get a useful player and still have all of the scholarships to give out to other players.

But, doesn't that happen each and every year? We see it all the time when the game moves around.

Here's the link: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recruiting/player-Jordan-Fuchs-131023

It says Florida.

And I'm not surprised since Billy Donovan knows the area well. He could be looking at him as a Chaney type, a New London kid that was under the radar and committed to Florida. Plus, Donovan has recently taken 3 star kids from Christ the King like Erving Walker, who was in nobody's top 100. Clearly, Donovan has a connection there.

Frankly, I think it would be much more eye-opening if UConn football stole a recruit from Florida than it would be for Florida bball to offer a kid who also received offers from Providence, Iowa St., Rutgers and Xavier.

Those lists need to be taken with a ginormous grain of salt. They get updated once every 6 months or so, and most of the time they are far from accurate.

I'm just saying--Donovan has only very recently gone to the same high school and grabbed a 3 star player with NO BCS offers. This kid at least had a few other offers.

That may be the case, but that offer doesn't really prove anything. A bunch of sites also had a UConn offer listed on his football recruiting page before he committed, even though the bball team never offered him a scholarship. Everything I have seen so far has Florida's interest on the football side.

Florida sites list him as a basketball offer as well.

Donovan has also offered Fuchs' teammate Jon Severe (2014).

A bunch of sites had him down with a UConn bball offer and that wasn't the case. I think there's just a lot of crossover because he is a two-sport guy. Of the couple articles I've read about him, none listed a Florida bball offer (though he may have had discussions about being dual-sport there), only about him having interest from them in football.
 
Who cares, he's coming to UConn and hope he is successful at everything he does in Storrs. And whether it's Fordham, URI or Florida for hoops it won't matter....if he can help he'll suit up at some point!!
