Do we have another Scholarship available? I was watching this kid on TV and he seems very athletic. Similar to McKinney. Dave Kaplan stated that he is considered the most underrated player in Illinois. any chance we could pick him up. Scout says he has some interest, although it is scout.

He is averaging 19 pts per game.

All depends on our plans with the 2 walks ons. I have been wondering about Rush for a while, he's a guy NIU has looked at, but we are nervous about his academics, which IMO is why we didn't sign and seal him in November.

EDIT: Actually, this link says Rush will qualify...

Quote:Billy Rush, a 6-foot-5 wing from Thornridge, could be a nice get for a mid-major plus squad. He's an athletic scorer that will qualify

Also, here is his rivals profile, it lists us and Minnesota.

His scout profile lists us and Eastern Illinois...

Hmm, maybe we are looking at him. Should be interesting to see what happens this spring.
