5th '08 Recruit

Cain's is gone, his was only for one year as mentioned above, it is going to Ian Markoff in next years class (aka Cain does NOT have a schollie for next year). Krabbs and Landry's schollies are spoken for by  Bruesewitz (sp?) and Diamond Taylor in the '09 class who have already committed. The only way we can get Jamil Wilson now is if someone takes one for the team and/or transfers out (I am with Sconnie/Komacki, I hope Gavinski decides to go elsewhere, for his own sake and the sake of the program). I like this Evan's kid and I like him coming here but we need to find a way to get Jamil Wilson a scholarship, we can't lose that kid to MSU or Marquette, it will come back to haunt us if we do.

Cain only got a scholarship for this past year because Bo was banking it for next year's incoming class.  It's already gone (you could say that it went to Robert Wilson).  Diamond Taylor and Mike Bruesewitz have already committed for the following year, taking the scholarships that will be opened up by Landry and Krabs graduating.  That's why another one has to open up in order for Jamil Wilson to be a Badger.

This might help if you're having trouble keeping track of it.

There's also speculation that Evans' scholarship isn't necessarily his for all four years.  That means that he would be on scholarship next year, but it could be given to Jamil Wilson in 2009.

What the heck?  I didn't even copy/paste anything.  Lets try that again.

Okay, when I first heard about the technical foul that helped Evans' team lose their state semifinal game and how his coach tried to appeal it I was a bit skeptical.  I figured that it was a controversial call and he felt his team got skrewed.  Then I heard that the ref that called it was an alum of the opposition's school.  I thought that was just rumors.  But then I saw these:

This one looks like the actual broadcast film of the game.
This one is a slow motion version taken from the opposite angle.

After seeing those I definitely believe that the ref was an alum of the other school and that the game was fixed.  There's really no other way to describe it.  The fact that the opposing player bumped and knocked the ball away from Evans' teammate in an attempt to get a response but DIDN'T and the ref called a technical anyway is really disturbing.  You can see him under the basket calling it just as the camera pans to the scoreboard in both videos.
