Has the NCAA ever had a father-son on the same roster?

This is the best news of the day. Yes sir this team will be very tough next year. And...with wi and marquette losing, it makes this a beautiful day. Go Gophers.

I'd be interested to know if he's graduated yet. Should be well into grad school this season if he's a good student.

Great news. He's been a good teammate, always cheering them on from the bench. I'm happy for him.

The NCAA wants kids to stay in school. This would really help Mbakwe, so that he can rehab as a college player. Otherwise, he would be out on his own. No NBA team would draft him 6 months after an ACL injury. In reality, he would be punished for coming back for his senior year. This team could be really good with him back for next year.

I guess that means Tubby gets a 7th.

The "U" only offers so many basket-weaving classes. Jokes aside, I hope he takes the extra year as a challenge to lead the team.

If he comes back, one would presume he would finish his degree? Having a great last year would also put him in a strong position to be at least a "mid" first round pick in the next NBA draft. Just ask Sid...he'll tell ya!
