Hell, might as well take a shot at Langford too.
We haven't been eliminated.

Don’t know if this is still true but previously the state administered test does not qualify for the NCAA Clearinghouse. Have to take it on a national test date.
This isn't true.
"A student may take the SAT or ACT an unlimited number of times before he or she enrolls full time in college. If a student takes either test more than once, the best subscores from each test are used for the academic certification process."
Looks to me like the girl from Breakin'
So if Golden ends up a Hoya and Okoro does not re-classify, what is the contingency plan?
How tall are you?
I know for a fact that was the case about a dozen years ago when I accepted an athletic scholarship to play college football. It was heavily stressed by recruiters, counselors, etc.
From the NCAA:
“Students may take the ACT or the SAT an unlimited number of times prior to full-time collegiate enrollment. All ACT and SAT scores should be reported to the NCAA Eligibility Center. It is best for students to list the NCAA Eligibility Center as a score recipient at the time of exam registration to avoid additional fees. Please note only official test scores sent from the testing agency (ACT/SAT) are acceptable. Test scores on your high school transcript will not be used.”
The rules may have changed or that last line might make a difference. Tests not administered by ACT may not be reported by them. National test dates were Saturday’s and you had to pay, etc. Sounds like Illinois has since moved to SAT? So who knows. Either way, I hope Okoro becomes an Illini.
Maybe Ramey saga goes away by end of day? Who next then or the rollover?

At Louisville mention at bottom if all goes well, may recommit?
Actually I did address it. He seems to be under the misconception that the tests administered by the school do not provide official ACT/SAT scores. That is completely wrong. I'm fairly certain the time the schools began offering these official standardized tests corresponds roughly with the passage of NCLB in 2001 because thats when schools needed some objective data on every student. Sorry for hijacking this thread with this silly debate. :noidea:
Not disagreeing with you, but do you think it is wise to just "fill them?"
Not counting grad transfers, I understand the bird in the hand philosophy. However, is it worth eating up a scholarship for a project or a reach just to have that body on the roster?
I get the attrition aspect also. Not a fan of Creaning, no matter how it is "handled." Not a fan of quick transfers when players don't see immediate playing time, even if they initiate the transfer.
In sum, not a fan of today's college world of roster turnover.

In 2004 I had to take two ACT's to be a D1 athlete, one administered by the school and the other on the national testing date. Either score could be used by colleges for admission, but the latter was used by the clearinghouse.
It's an overrated discussion. It happens all the time, including Illinois under successful coaches, just that the term has taken a life of its own on Illini message boards because of the rivalry with Indiana.
Coaches very often have frank discussions with players and tell them that given their recruiting, roster make up, players coming in (or potential players coming in), etc., they will likely not see much playing time given the situation and should evaluate programs that they may be better fits.
The rest of the transfers happen because players seek better opportunities independent of discussion with coaches, including players who get much playing time on current teams.
"Only ACT or SAT test results achieved under national testing conditions on a national testing date prior to full-time collegiate enrollment are usable for NCAA purposes. ACT state-administered tests may also be used. Students with education-impacting disabilities may use scores achieved during a nonstandard administration of the SAT or ACT. A student who takes the nonstandard test must achieve the minimum required test score; however, the test is not required to be administered on a national testing date."

Every SAT or ACT that students register on their own through the College Board or ACT is on a national testing day, and the SAT administered through Illinois falls under the state-administered test. A district can choose to administer the ACT on three 3 different dates, but they're all national test dates too. It's certainly possible that it was different back in 2004, but now every test besides a practice test is reportable to the clearinghouse since they all fall under either one of those categories. I can't think of a scenario where a student would take a non-standard SAT or SAT besides a practice test. That's just not how testing is administered.
Also, while we're here. A student can take the PSAT instead of the SAT/ACT in order to be eligible for taking official visits.
In my defense, this is recruiting related and there's some downtime when it comes to recruiting.
I don’t think Martin is likely be a good big ten player. But all of our bigs are question marks and we can use some experience and depth, so if it’s Martin for a year or no one, I choose Martin. If there are other better options out there, great - not sure who they are.

Martin averaged 6.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, shooting 58% from the field, but only 56% from the line, in 23.3 minutes/game. Also averaged just under 1 block per game.

I wouldn't expect much, but sounds like he'd be serviceable for a year.

Anybody else hearing that Okoro ACT score is in, and that he scored well?
