[Trapped in California]

SIU's school newspaper is reporting the much traveled Mr. Teague is out of SIU.

The death spiral at SIU is well underway.

SIU's school newspaper is reporting the much traveled Mr. Teague is out of SIU. (note, only the headline shows for me, not the story for some reason).

The death spiral at SIU continues.

Fixed for accuracy.

So...I'll ask the question; would we be interested in Teague? People on this board have been discussing our lack of a big body in the post the minute after Lucas went down. Teague may have some injury issues, but he is a big body with some talent.

From what I read it sounds like he is homesick and wants to go back East

Wouldn't he have to sit out 2 years since he would be transferring in conference? He's already played 2 years and would finish out his career sitting out if he transferred here.

Well, Dougie Fresh didn't...if a different standard is applied to us than it was for him for an in-conference transfer I would be tempted to burn down the league office.

Not to come to the defense of the McDermotts or anything, but it was just a LOI and not actually fully part of the team.

Wasn't Doug a different situation? Isn't be released from a LOI different from transferring?.. on paper anyways.

Doesn't matter if you just sign a LOI or are transferring same rules apply, Dougie got special treatment.

Re: Gene Teague transferring out of SIU

Not that I'm interested in it here, but you don't really lose the years of eligibility while you are sitting out, do you?

Example: if Doug was made to sit out two years, he still would have had his full four years of eligibility after that, right?

Clock is running once you start school, regardless if you are playing or not.

Re: Gene Teague transferring out of SIU

Same happened to Tyler Smith when he transferred from Iowa to Tennessee. he SHOULD HAVE had to sit out a year but got to play right away on that great i believe Elite 8 team cuz he went home to be with his sick father. I can understand transferring for an ailing parent but getting a medical hardship to play right away is kinda redic.

UNI chose to release him. There would have been penalty had UNI not released him.

No it isn't different. Once an athlete signs a LOI they are "enrolled" in they eyes of the conference, which is why there were was the make him sit or not controversy to begin with.

Yes, it did come down to UNI enforcing the rule not the conference because the conference put us in that ****ty situation from the start. They said, before UNI announced what we were going to to, that they would not enforce the rule unless UNI wanted it enforced. No matter what Dannen and Jake were the bad guy to one side of the issue.
