Seems to be the best option for that last scholorship is a D1 transfer that sits out this season (like we have had pretty much every year for a while now). While it would be nice to get some quality size, that just isn't going to happen (as Bekay points out) and depth shouldn't be a problem this year. Seems like there should be some transfer options out there. As far as Pelle (and even Alec Williams) Cal State San Marcos would be a good option as they both could play right away and it seems like that is the route they are taking. I would rather save the scholarship for a talented freshman in the '13 class than pick up some transfer that is going to sit out this year anyways. if we can get someone who qualifies for one year and doesn't eat a scholly past that, then go for it.

We are getting a lot of length and athleticsm this season, but again we are lacking quality players inside. We are really gonna struggle down low for the first part of the year in my opinion. Once James Johnson becomes available we should be much better on the interior - by that point Skylar will have had some games under his belt and DeShawn will hopefully continue his improvement. Syracuse, UCLA and UNLV will be major challenges due to their size.
Luckily we do have one of the best backcourts in the country though. Gonna be some epic battles this season.

Okay, so here is what I know about the schooling, but I have no verification that any of this is true. On the sliding scale (meaning GPA and SAT) he could not qualify. He has the units, if he didn't have the units it would have been pointless to go to prep school. Prep school, as far as my understanding is to shore up GPA to adjust the sliding scale. JC is for a guy who won't qualify unit wise (in most cases). Since he is out of high school he can't take the SAT again, so that score would stand. The only way to move up the sliding scale is on the GPA side. Two things could have happened out of prep school. A, it was a long shot to get his GPA up, meaning he would have needed near perfect grades to adjust the scale to qualify. or B, he didn't put in the work. No clue which might have been the case. But he can't go back to prep school. Either way, he isn't going to qualify, which means his only route is JC, Overseas, or what many people have missed, NAIA. you always seem to know what you're talking about - given that, why do we read reports that Fish was watching Pelle? I'm guessing Fish knows at least what you know? thanks

Cal State San Marcos is a D2 now

Good things can happen later on...

Yes Fish does keep up relationships. Reason why Fish was seen watching Evan Burns, even after he had committed to UCLA on the chance it doesn't pan out.
If Pelle is going the JC route, would a smart coach still want to keep up relations so in two years the kid comes? I would. Fish is no dummy.
Could I be wrong on the academics and he is going to qualify? Maybe, this late in the game does it look good, not really. Stranger things have happened, but gotta be honest, reading the tea leaves everything point to no, even if my heart would love for it to be a yes.

There are so many transfers out there, they get to practice for a year and be 2-3 (or more) years physically ahead of everyone; also, a graduate transfer that could plug in wouldn't be bad either - we have enough schollys to give out next year
