Jihad was officially announced today. I would far why they didn't do an official announcement for Clements.

Clements is at least on the roster- though I agree, strange that he did not get an introduction given that everyone else did (except Farrakhan?). More strange, and perhaps troubling/disappointing is that Randle is not yet listed on the roster. I know Miggy has sources that he is practicing, but still there must be some uncertainties involved.

There has been zero acknowledgement on Randle or EMU staff that Randle signed a LOI. Generally both sides celebrate such things.

Noah Farrakhan has now been officially announced and is listed on the roster.

So Clements is the only one snubbed? That is no way to treat the local guy!!!

Is it possible that Clements is a walk on?

Nice call, Wooden! He is indeed a walk-on according to the roster bio. I am very surprised. Although perhaps a project player, he is still pretty high profile for a walk-on.

I believe Randle is the last commit that has not been officially announced.

from his bio: "Malcolm Karl Clements…Son of Marc and Marquetta Clements…Has one brother, Marc, and nine sisters"

if his nine sisters all have M names too, that must get so confusing for people. But i'll bet it's awesome when nine sisters are yelling at the dude who just fouled their brother.

11 kids??? Good lord, give that kid a scholarship!!!! I don’t know how I am going to manage paying for school for my only 3 kids…. Plus, give his family free tickets for the games.

oh yeah, the cost of being a walk-on didn't occur to me. Murphy and Creighton have given scholarships to walk-ons. Hopefully Heath does the same.

Don't walk one,receive cost of attendance?

Miles Gibson transferring to St Peters

Classes begin August 30. Curious where we are in terms of finalizing our roster and our schedule.

I don't know about finalizing the roster, but putting together a schedule is TOUGH.

It is more like negotiating a UN peace treaty, long, dragged out, laborious process.

We will miss him, I'm sure. Pretty good leaper and silky smooth with the shot as a freshman. Good luck to him!

Yeah, Gibson was a tough loss, especially given we still don’t have a true small forward (though I think we will be ok with how Heath has retooled). Glad he got with a team in a good MAAC conference. Best wishes, Miles!

So far our front court doesn't excite me for this season.We will be very inexperienced at the post and power forward. If Randle does show up I see a brighter longer term at the center and forward position.
