You can find the Rundown podcast for free on the Itunes store here. The Wiley part begins at the 20:45 mark. -Wiley has graduated -Going through process now of being cleared by AU, SEC & NCAA -Could get cleared by Monday or Tuesday 12th or 13th -SEC particularly skeptical of recruits in general who change schools from Jr to Sr year like Wiley did so they may be taking a bit longer -may be ready to play versus Coastal Carolina on the 15th Big news. Could be today or tomorrow. I wouldnt expect him to do too much if somehow he got in before the 15th against CC in that game. Would be cool, though, to see Pearl put him out there for about 2-3 minutes just to watch him run, see him rebound a bit. Of course he'll need to learn the offense and begin some team bonding, but it looks as if he's eager to go now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he'll need to learn the offense and begin some team bonding, but it looks as if he's eager to go now! I agree that we shouldn't expect too much from him early on. But I wouldn't be surprised to see him integrated into our game plans early on and have it stick just because of how talented he is and all of the different teams that he's already played and excelled on. I played aau ball on a relatively good team, we picked up a player once and he was a "starter" on our team within a week just because he was so good that he meshed with the chemistry so quickly based on the fact that everyone else was excited to have him as part of our team. It was okay he was "stealing" minutes because it made us much more competitive and everyone helped him become part of our chemistry because of that. He got the ball extra in practice and games even if he didn't know the plays as well as us, he got a pass for missing a defensive call/assignment even though he'd hear about it when he got brought out next. Of course AU is a much bigger stage with less time to prepare and more meaningful games but none the less., (a bit buzzed so I'm not sure how well I'm making my point lol) Edited December 12, 2016 by Charhair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only Dec With our without him....the shooting percentages need to go up or we will see a lot of nights that look like last night. Inability to hit open 3s when the 3 is an important part of our game and/or shooting low 40s from the rest of the floor.....a season killer. JMO. Don't need to shoot 40% from 3 every game but gotta make up the points somewhere. Haven't noticed that Wiley is a big scorer....so JMO, looking for defense inside and rebounds....which should take some pressure off Spencer. Guess I've missed it but is he scheduled to be eligible soon?....before the SEC season starts or what's the word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt he shows up on campus and plays in a game the same day or a day later. That said, just getting him on campus the 15th would be great. Give him a little practice time before SEC play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe e or someone else who keeps up with recruiting more than I do would know better but I haven't been able to find much.

Maybe e or someone else who keeps up with recruiting more than I do would know better but I haven't been able to find much. I wasn't saying that was going to happen, just reciting what I heard I wasn't implying you said anything. I was just stating that if he made it on campus then (15th) he wouldn't likely play that game. However, if he is on campus now he might get 2-5 minutes depending on how the game goes. The earlier he shows up the better. I'm not expecting him to be a game changing talent out of the gate, but I am seriously looking forward to having his height and presence inside. Could completely change our offense just having a player capable of posting up and getting rebounds. If he can just add 5-7 rebounds a game at this point that could be an 8-10 point swing, which for this young team would be HUGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even I have to admit I'm doing that too much in the basketball forum....I just really know what I'm talking about with basketball but I don't think people listen/believe me and I'm just saying check my history.....But like you said it's only Dec!
