the same reason teams dont get 20 players and let host families take care of
the odd 7 out.

 

Its an NCAA violation.

OK, since the general consensus is that Souleymane might be the odd man out
if 3 scholarships are open, heres a far fetched idea. Most African born
students and players that Ive 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 Souleys 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 hes in college?
Its 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 dont think this is a NCAA violation because hed 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?
