Desmar Jackson

ESPN website is reporting that Desmar Jackson (Harding) is leaving Wyoming.  He averaged about 15ppg. and has 2 years of eligibility left.  Does anyone know if he is interested in coming back and transfer to YSU?  This could be a big get for our program but he would have to sit out a year and take a chance that we may get a new coach after next year.

The Warren Tribune has an article saying Desmar is going to Southern Illinois to play.

Not the news we wanted to hear.  The article states YSU didn't contact his H.S. coach at all while the others did.  Makes you wonder.

As usual, you have no idea what's going on. Jackson left Wyoming because the coaching staff that recruited him was fired, specifically an assistant coach who was close to Jackson. This assistant has packaged himself and Jackson to get an asst. job at So. Illinois, where Jackson will probably end up if he's not convinced to stay at Wyoming. There was no need to contact anyone, specifically Arnold, as Jackson was headed to So. Illinois all along. Arnold's players are proving to be nomads in college.

But other schools contacted the coach and we didn't you fool.  Doesn't hurt to try no matter if he intended to go to S. Ill.or not.  That is called recruiting. It is spilled milk now.

The point, Einstein, is our staff knew of the situation. Besides, what does calling Arnold accomplish? He was his high school coach. Back to your cave.

Re the calling Arnold thing

I am pretty sure the YSU staff talks to Arnold plenty.  I am also pretty sure the YSU staff knew the details of this xfer also.

If (and that's a big IF) they didn't directly call in this situation, so what?
