Ike

[BCHoopster]

The question has to be is he available to play after 2 years of not playing.  If so, he was a project anyway, does he have a chance to help or is he done?

[tower912]

He is currently under scholarship and working out with the team. 

[Dnice]

Has wojo commented on Ike's status?

[Herman Cain]

Ike is a valuable member of the team . He is practicing and hopefully will be able to contribute this year . Even if he cannot give any meaningful minutes, he has effectively stepped into Cam's role which is an important one.

[BCHoopster]

Really, you recruit a kid to be a cheerleader?

Wasn't Cam a walk-on?
That's a huge difference in roles.

I am just saying that if he can't play much that becomes his role. Ike is a great guy.

Ike teamed with Cassius Winston to win UD Jesuit's first State High School Championship. He's a good, athletic defender that when healthy will provide good minutes off the bench this season.

Winning the Class A championship in Michigan is still a big deal. That is why I am still holding out hope that Ike can be healthy, and give quality minutes.   His upside is huge.

I don't think giving full rides to great guys is a successful recipe. If he can't play, he can't play and his scholly needs to be better utilized.
If he can contribute, then great.

There's three experienced guys already ahead of him at his spot. Let's be real, even if he is healthy, Ike's time on the floor is going to be extremely limited.

[BCHoopster]

Is he a center or forward, has forward build

[NCMUFan]

His value can be more than just game minutes.  Having quality players in practice helps the team get ready for games.

You recruit somebody to play in games, not just practice!  Practice players can be walk ons.

I like Ike. My bike likes Ike.

Ike was recruited to be a big time player for MU. He got seriously hurt. Under those circumstances the scholarship does not get taken away. If he can't play anymore, they medically retire him and the scholarship , while honored, does not count toward the 13. If he can play, but at a lower level than once thought, then that is just the way it goes and he then becomes the 12 or 13th guy on the roster and is there really as a supportive guy for the team. This scenario happens a lot in college sports. Lets keep hoping and praying that Ike recovers

[Knight Commission]

Dwayne Streeter.  KO stated he never thought he would play in a game.

So what do you want to do?  Send him packing?  Screw that!!!!!  You let Ike come back from his injuries and spend 5-6 years at MU if that's what it takes.

Yep, that's part of building Chemistry .

No, the kid seems to be definitely involved with the team. He will be on some type of scholarship until he graduates, but if he can not play move on.

[TedBaxter]

He will be able to help this team with minutes over the next 3-4 years if his back allows and that is a question.  You wait it out until it's determined he can't physically play any longer and not a minute sooner.

How many #361-ranked players on 247 are considered "big time" recruits?

It's what he does. Then when Ike never plays because his back is messed up it's somehow Wojo's fault that our big time recruit never worked out. Overworked Ike in the weight room and demotivated him in the rehab room.

It's as reliable as when he claimed he was on Quentin Grimes's official visit with him.

i think he meant he was a big time recruit for that class, has a lot of potential still
