June 18, 201016 yr Has there been any updates on what Ferg is gonna do, seems like the reports and or leaks have died down somewhat?
June 20, 201016 yr I read somewhere, maybe the Cincy Enquirer that NKU has confirmed that he is not on their roster.
July 7, 201016 yr Hey I'm about ready to go straight over to Isonville to Dale's store and get the word directly!
July 7, 201016 yr Ferg was screwed over by one school and isn't playing at NKU. He does have a few other options that I'll mention as soon as the head Ferguson says it's ok.
July 8, 201016 yr Ferg was screwed over by one school and isn't playing at NKU. He does have a few other options that I'll mention as soon as the head Ferguson says it's ok. Who is telling you that the young man was "screwed over?"
July 8, 201016 yr Hey I'm about ready to go straight over to Isonville to Dale's store and get the word directly! I heard they were being very quiet on the issue.
July 8, 201016 yr Maybe he's waiting to see what LeBron does?? :clap: Now that is funny! I am sure the young man is frustrated with his current situation, but when you sit out a year because you didn't want to play that raises some red flags with schools who would take a risk with you. I wish him luck in his search.
July 8, 201016 yr Maybe he's waiting to see what LeBron does?? This is a great point. I'm surprised he didn't get drafted as he should have been draft eligible.

July 8, 201016 yr Who is telling you that the young man was "screwed over?" My bad, that should have said, "I was told" he was screwed over by one school.
July 8, 201016 yr After the emotionally draining 2009 season for Elliott County Ferg had every right to want to take a break! Nobody on here truly comprehends what those boys went through unless you saw it in person and up close. And, how truly has it affected his college choices, may schools have contacted him and made offers for his services?
July 8, 201016 yr After the emotionally draining 2009 season for Elliott County Ferg had every right to want to take a break! Nobody on here truly comprehends what those boys went through unless you saw it in person and up close. And, how truly has it affected his college choices, may schools have contacted him and made offers for his services? College athletes don't take breaks. Every player participating in college athletics had an emotionally draining season the year before, so that is a poor excuse. You want to talk emotionally draining? Look at Marky Krebs at UK-that is an example of emotionally drained. He didn't use his situation to take a year off, it built him into what he is. Emotionally drained is watching your mother fight cancer for 9 years all the while pursing the dream to be a walk-on at UK. With that, fighting to stay as a walk-on for 3 different coaches and eventually earning a scholarship. Having his mom come to midcourt on senior day knowing she only has months to live and turning around 5 minutes later to be mentally prepared to start-that is emotionally draining. Give me a break. Beating weak 16th region opponents by 30 and doing interviews is emotionally draining? Let's face it-if this kid was so good, some school would have snatched him up over the last 2 years. I hope I am proved wrong, but 6'1" forwards are a dime a dozen in the college game.
July 9, 201016 yr Kreb's is not the only one who has problem's. There is no use to belittle Ferg. He was sometimes a foward, sometimes a three, sometimes a shooting guard and a few times I even saw him run the point. Ferg had the chance to play at 5 different D1 schools, several D2's and a ton of others in NAIA. The tru story is..He didn't take a break, he quit for love. He became engaged his senior year to a girl that was wearin the britches so to speak, they were to be married the following May after graduation. She convinced Ferg that if he played College ball they would be through. For what he thought was true love he gave up his chances. Week or so into 2nd semester at MSU(yes He could have played there in the beginning) she drop him like a bad habit. He now is looking for a second chance and no one wants to give him his first year, not in fear of his talent but in fear of him not finishing. Can't really say that I blame them under the circumstance's. At this point he still has two NAIA school's and one NCAA school that is willing to give him a try. This info came from his father less than 4 hrs ago. You can bank on that it is true
