I feel like Vince Lombardi when he said what the hell is going on out here?
Is he visiting or joining the team.

sounds like (from his tweet) he's basically trying out

and geno's

Too soon.

I see JB almost every day and I have never heard mention of this. Very confusing tweet to say the least.

Sounds like he's coming to practice with the team or be a part of some military game? We don't have a game on December 12th, so is there some military appreciation event? Maybe JB is bringing in some local Ft Drum soldiers to be around the team for a day?

C'mon why don't one of you shrinking violets give Captain Grajales a call and ask him? His cell number is there for the calling. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to outline the mission.

This kid, based on his FB page, is definitely coming here to try out. He mentions that he's gotten some scholarship offers. Based on his highlight videos, I don't think he's a cuse caliber player, but who knows what JB sees? I'm pretty sure he'd have 4 years of eligibility right? Are we seriously considering giving him a 4 year scholarship?

Some military guy calls jb and says he has a player that is great and would like a tryout. What do you think jb is going to say? No? Not a chance.

Sounds like a major vote of confidence in Howard Washington?

You know, this, is probably the most likely explanation for all of this.

Sounds like it. Either he’s a good player or JB thinks he deserves a scholarship based on his service to the country. Either way I trust JB. Maybe he can help us in practice or as depth in the future.

True dat. JB loves giving those extra scholarships to guys he has not intention of ever using in a real game.

So since when are non-matriculated students allowed to "try-out". Isn't that generally prohibited?

How many times have we ever added a new body to the roster midseason that wasn't at least on campus in some capacity during the first semester?

 

[20Plus]

It would be nice to know if this is something or nothing

Even if it's real, it's nothing.

Does Julie know that JB is seeing Mila Kunis almost every day?

GI bill. No need to scholly.

 

[CuseLifer11]

Sure. That's exactly it.

 

[Orangezoo]

So... We are a couple weeks since this popped up... Anything??

 

[two3zone]

It's posts like this why I wish CuseHulk was still around.

A whole week without a game sucks.. and I agree , he would have likely somehow met the guy at the airport and be screaming for a commitment.. fun times

Wonder if this recruit is a good tipper?

 

[tee1222]

Why doesn't someone just go up to every skycap at the airport and mutter under their breath, cusehulk? cusehulk?
I'm going out on a limb here to say he doesn't have a grifter's poker face.

Every time I flew into Cuse I looked at the skycaps and tried to guess which one he was. Guessing early 20s with breath of stale Applebees beer with a smug look of a 311 heaven guy who hates grad students.
