    Re: Off-Season Departures

    Just like Lickliter at Iowa, McKenna wants HIS own players in there to run HIS system. Holmstrom struggled with McKenna's offense and McKenna wants guys that can play his style.

    Sounds like he was actually straight up with him. There wasn't going to be room anymore, he wasn't going to play much, and Holmstrom had already admitted to struggling with that type of system.

    Just comes down to McKenna wanting players that are capable of running his style of play. May be a little shady, but at the same time, why should a team be forced to stick with a guy that was put on scholarship before the current coach was even there? I don't think this will impact future recruits. Future recruits will probably choose INSU because of McKenna and his style of play and this won't be an issue.

    It's just a bad case of timing, a coaching change, and a little bit of poor communication. Feel bad for Holmstrom, but really shouldn't be a big deal.

      I agree. The only thing I would add is that it is too bad that Holmstrom, Freeman and others in these situations lose a year while transferring. This isn't really a "voluntary" issue where they are shopping their services and should have to sit out. They made a commitment to the school and the school (because of a change in direction) is pulling its commitment to them. The situation would be entirely different if the kid wasn't making grades, had legal issues, was just wanting playing time, etc.

          It's a huge deal if he has to sit a year. Likely, he committed to the school with the promise of a scholarship as long as he met certain qualifications. I would guess that the goal post has recent moved.

            I know, and that stinks for him. But is McKenna really supposed to have a scholarship wasted on a player for two more seasons that he didn't bring into the program and who will not play in his system? It's a tough decision. I feel bad for the kid, but don't hold anything against McKenna either.

                STEPHENVILLE ? Tarleton head coach Lonn Reisman announced the addition of Tyrone Cole-Scott, another NCAA Division I transfer, to the men's basketball roster for the 2008-09 season.

Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                  From the article...
                  At Waterloo East High in Waterloo, Iowa, Cole-Scott earned first-team all-state honors in 2005 after averaging 25.7 points per game. As a sophomore, he helped the Apaches to the 2003 Iowa Class 4A state championship. He is a 2005 graduate of his hometown high school.

                    It's not a major loss, but Drake loses point guard Ryan Daniels. No idea where he's going to. He redshirted in his only season at Drake after a horrible freshman season in juco. He never would have gotten any playing time for the Bulldogs, so I see this as a positive....frees up a scholarship.
