Scholly, Souley or both

[Brent Wyrick]

OK, since the general consensus is that Souleymane might be the odd man out
if 3 scholarships are open, here's a far fetched idea. Most African born
students and players that I've seen get here do it one of two ways: Families
with money back home or with the help of a host family in HS, scholarship or
both. (see Romain Sato)  I suspect Souley's a pretty smart guy to get here
in the first place since.

 

So, what if we can find a host family to house him while he's in college?
It's a win for everyone. He comes off scholarship, stays on the team, gives
us a boost for the new APR, improves the team chemistry becuase the guys
love him and  gives us a practice player and some small minutes later in
life .I don't think this is a NCAA violation because he'd become a walk on
and would not be receiving extra benefits. The university would probably
prefer that he stay for international diversity reasons. The fans? We get
instant Meeker for 3 years. Would this work?
