(caution, gobs of pop-ups and questionnaires that pop up before you can access article - even if you are a subscriber)


apparently this one was influenced by our assistant Jimmie Foster's connections...
and the fans can be proud as they obviously created the very atmosphere that appealed to Darrell & his family!!
I have to think he knew that some of his other offers would be as a back-up or deep sub for a few years and some were with the requirement to redshirt...
I think he has a great chance to start here from day-1

I don't know of any rule that limits how many commitments a team can land...but some leagues have rules to limit
"OVERSIGNING"....

The Big Ten disallows any team from oversigning more than 3 players in football (three players in football), then yanking scholarships away from others to solve the problem...but it is a topic of discussion & concern only in basketball

This is exactly what happened to Matt Roth who then got run off to solve IU's oversigning-

I doubt if any such rule exists in the Missouri Valley..... this article says...
"It is uncommon, but not unheard of, for programs to oversign to guard against transfers,
players pursuing professional opportunities or other forms of attrition."
