Best post on this subject. There are plenty of ways to get enough scholarships and still add Foster and Ogundele. It feels like the twins were in the works for awhile. I'm sure Fran knows exactly how he is going to make it work out for scholarships.

We will need everyone to have a successful season.

Makes you wonder if some universities do something "extra" to get the NCAA's favor on decisions. It should be pretty simple. Grab Martins request and info. See if it meets the criteria. An hour later let Iowa know, then move onto the next case or go home if all the work is done.
