Because all speculation has been that it's Doucoure based on previous Fat Cat/Mod comments and other speculation and a quote from one of his teammates a couple of weeks ago that he's enrolled here. I said mysterious because BK's posts that a possible big man eligible this year might be coming did not mention anyone by name.And
And you say "not-so-mysterious" because . . .
I like this update. No substantial news, but basically things are still going on behind the scenes. I like it.Suspect that Pikiell & staff are inclined to triple verify before tipping their hand - as well they should - they have been operating in a manner that is intended to build credibility and the last thing that they would want to do is make fanfare about some addition - and then have it fail to come to pass because i's had not been dotted and t's had not been crossed.
After the initial chatter, have been reluctant to engage in continued speculation - mostly because it was indicated that whatever might happen is already in process and it is just going to depend upon all of the pieces lining up properly - - so it did not seem like there was much utility in putting forward various names - just to produce uncomfortable silence or carefully crafted non-answers - if the target was correctly identified.
Maybe next week things reach a point where all can be revealed
It has to be Doucoure. If its someone new we don't have enough ships to add Harper.
It could be a grad transfer, but BK ruled that out.
With the schedule announced and the really tough first five BIG games, its tough being patient awaiting how we fill the last schollie knowing we need this "big"in time to battle these teams. Hope to hear some positive news soon!!

When does the last summer session end? Is there a chance he's taking a class now that he needs to reclassify?

No offense meant...But how can anyone be sure of that?
Coach has said many times that he does not want to go grad transfer as it really doesn't improve the program beyond 1 season
Very well written. You must be in the legal field. $$$$Suspect that Pikiell & staff are inclined to triple verify before tipping their hand - as well they should - they have been operating in a manner that is intended to build credibility and the last thing that they would want to do is make fanfare about some addition - and then have it fail to come to pass because i's had not been dotted and t's had not been crossed.

Rutgers teaches hs classes. To re-classify he has to finish hs. Correct?The very last day of the very last Summer session at Rutgers -NB was August 16... but when grades would be 'official' - and how fast documentation would be fully compiled & delivered to the NCAA Clearing House is unclear - also note that taking courses at RU would be only one of a great number of ways to obtain necessary classes & credit (benefit of RU = streamlines process & virtually eliminates legitimacy questions if correct classes are chosen) ... in general - the recent news about Marvin Bagley III plans of finishing classes & reclassifying & going to Duke - and the expected rapid processing of those credentials may provide reassurance that there is reason to be optimistic.
If this is what is going on - the silence about it is understandable - it is not a simple process and there have been numerous past cases involving other athletes & other universities where things have gotten tangled up on technicalities & bureaucracy.
