assuming that none of the players left the team from last year we should have 1 more full ride scholarship left to give out. I believe in division 1 you have to give out for full ride scholarships to each plyer. I know that there are only 13 scholarships allowed for each mens basketball team. Anyone else hoping the 6 ' 10" Tobe is the last scholarship?

I would love to see us get him BUT I read earlier today that he is visiting Houston and that now Memphis is in the picture so its looking like it isnt gonna happen for us...Id take another guy with Chapman's size...anyone with some bulk to em and get us 6 to 8 pts in the paint...I think our outside shooting production is gonna be better by leaps and bounds...we just need some inside presence to go after boards and putbacks in my opinion...

I could be wrong after hearing that foster and Hawthorne may have left. This would leave 3 scholarships

I wouldn't count out wright having a chance at landing okafor. Remember he pulled Covington away from some even bigger schools than Memphis.

I was going to say the same thing. Wright is an awesome recruiter and this year is one of best ones to be a WIU transfer.

I still would like to see WIU nab a 5th year transfer. Darius Stokes, a 6'7" transfer from Iowa would be a nice fit.

Lack of movement and info in last week is a little Eerie wondering if they are visiting any more players or just hoping for the last few they offered to accept.

In case anyone is interested in seeing an updated transfer list for D1 basketball. Both Barnes and Foster listed, but not Hawthorne. Neither showing their landing spot, but do know from Twitter Barnes is going to Cape Fear CC in Wilmington, NC.
