James Siakam
September 23, 2009 10:07 PM
Talked to James "Bamba" Siakam's coach this morning. Aaron Lee said the forward doesn't have a scholarship offer from Illinois. Even so, Lee said the Illini have been in to see Siakam so often, "They need to get a cot." So there's plenty of interest from the Illini. Vanderbilt's all about James Siakam, too.
My opinion: I think there are some academics uncertainties with James Siakam due to past transfers (not necessarily because he's a poor student). So, if Illinois offered a scholarship and then took him and he didn't make it (academically), it would make them look bad, so they want to make sure those transcripts are in order.
